Tiger Woods will be in action this week, the 2nd out of three consecutive weeks. Having lost in the first round of last week's WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, Woods looks to stick around a little longer this week. World #1 Rory McIlory also exited in the first round of the match play last week. McIlory hopes to repeat last year's performance at the Honda Classic. McIlory won the event last year, finishing two shots ahead of the surging Woods who fired -8 in the final round.
