Woods apologised to US Ryder rookies

World No.1 Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods arrived in Antalya yesterday to be presented each with Turkish Airlines model airplanes bearing their names.

However the duo will be playing with more than just model airplanes this week as they tee up today with the chance of scooping the $1.5m (€1.15m) prize in the inaugural Turkish Airlines World Golf Final at the Antalya Golf Club.

McIlroy and Woods join six others in a medal matchplay format that will see the Ireland and US rivals facing each other tomorrow.
