Tiger Woods will play at next week's WGC-CA Championship in Florida, the PGA Tour has announced.

Woods resumed his career last week after an eight-month lay-off following reconstructive knee surgery, reaching the second round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.

The world number one was knocked out by South Africa's Tim Clark and would not specify when or where he would play next.

The 33-year-old had until 10pm last night to confirm his appearance at next week's tournament at Doral near Miami, Florida, and the PGA Tour issued a press release ahead of schedule saying Woods would be in the 77-man field.

"We can confirm that Tiger Woods has committed to the CA Championship," the release stated.
