Tiger back to winning ways and happy with his Nike driver

TIGER Woods already has his sights set on the 2004 WGC American Express Championship at Mount Juliet even though it is still a full year away.

Woods retained his Amex title in some style at Woodstock, Georgia, on Sunday evening, and immediately gave the thumbs up to the world championships.

"We are fortunate in golf to have the majors and these world championships," said Tiger. "They mean more than, say, a Western Open or a Bay Hill Classic because you're playing against a better field. It's taken off the world rankings and you can't get better than that. It's not watered down. It's always fun when you get to play against the best."
