Tiger Woods will be competing at the Bridgestone Invitational next week.

The former World Champion has played in this tournament seven times; and he never finished under the Top 10 each time.

“I'm excited to get back out there,” Woods announced in his Website.

Woods has not played competitively since May. He has now dropped to the Top 20, following his personal turmoil and a chronic knee injury.

Reports claim that Byron Bell, a friend of Woods, will caddy for him at Firestone.
