AT&T National Will Play at Congressional In 2009
posted 2:30 pm Thu February 21, 2008 - Bethesda, Md.
Congressional had originally agreed to host Woods' tournament in 2007 and 2008. The tournament had a successful debut last year, drawing large crowds during the Fourth of July week.
Woods has said he would like Congressional to be his tournament's permanent home, but the club already had been awarded the 2009 U.S. Amateur and the 2011 U.S. Open. Ironically, it was last year's AT&T National that spotlighted the bumpy greens and other problems that prompted the USGA to move the Amateur to Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla.
Woods will likely have to find another venue for 2010 because course improvements will already be under way for the 2011 U.S. Open.
This year's AT&T National will be held July 2-6.
