Woods can find range in Turkey

Just as we near the winner’s post in the Race to Dubai, Tiger Woods could easily throw an untimely spanner into the works of crowning this year’s eventual European Tour No. 1.

Woods is competing in Turkey for a second straight year but this week’s inaugural Turkish Airlines Open is unique for the 14-time Major winner.

It has been four years since Woods last competed this late in a regular European Tour event and that was in capturing the co-sanctioned 2009 Australian Masters in Melbourne.
