LA JOLLA, Calif. (June 16, 2008) - The trophy from his 14th major championship in his arms, Tiger Woods is now going to trudge off into the sunset for a good long month. Ago, maybe it's more likely that he'll be on the yacht or lounging in one of his palatial coastal mansions.

But the next time anyone is going to see Woods swinging a golf club after his epic 91-hole, sudden-death, five-day U.S. Open Championship will be at the British Open in mid July.

Woods even left the British Open in a little doubt during a smaller right-off-the-trophy-presentation with a few writers - before his mammoth press center interview room appearance.

"I hope so," Woods said when asked if the British would be his next tournament.

Expect Tiger to give it a go across the pond, knee and all. Which will probably just freak out everyone else in the field who won't have seen him a month. Sometimes it seems like the less Tiger plays, the more intimidating he becomes to his supposed peers.
