Tiger Woods intends to play in next month's Buick Open. Sidelined with a knee injury since finishing second at The Masters, Woods confirmed his participation today.

Following his runner-up finish to Trevor Immelman at The Masters last month, Woods underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

The world number one Woods has claimed 13 major championships in his career, the last of which came when he successfully defended his title at the 2007 PGA Championship. Woods also is a two-time winner (2002, 2006) of the Buick Open.
