THE DESERT TIGER: WOODS RELOCATES END-OF-YEAR TOURNAMENT

          As first reported by the AP, Tiger Woods "will move"
     his year-end golf tournament benefitting the Tiger Woods
     Foundation to Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, from the Rio
     Secco Golf Club in Las Vegas, "to avoid what will be a
     massive New Year's Eve celebration," according to John Davis
     of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  Woods' agent, IMG's Mark
     Steinberg, said that the event, to be held December 29-
     January 2, will be "comprised of the top 10 players
     available from the world rankings, plus two players" chosen
     by Woods' foundation.  The tournament's first two rounds
     will be played Wednesday and Thursday, with a pro-am event
     scheduled for New Year's Day.  The final two rounds, played
     Saturday and Sunday, will be televised by NBC.  The AP
     reported that the event "probably will be called the Buy.com
     World Challenge," as the Internet site has "signed up as the
     tournament sponsor," while Target is "lined up as a
     presenting sponsor" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 7/21).
