To qualify for a Signature Event, a player must finish in the top 50 of the prior season's FedEx Cup standings, be among the top 10 otherwise-not-exempt players on the current FedEx Cup standings, be among the top five FedEx Cup point earners between Signature Events, be a current-year tournament winner, be a top 30 player in the Official World Golf Rankings or receive a sponsorship exemption.

A 48-year-old native of Cypress, CA, Woods has won 82 PGA Tour events and 15 majors.
