體壇英語(yǔ)資訊：Woods confirms to attend Memorial tourney

World No. 1 golfer Tiger Woods confirmed on Wednesday that he will play the Memorial Tournament next week at Muirfield Village to defend his title.

The scandle-haunted American withdrew from the Players Championship on May 9 with a neck injury and the Memorial will be his return to the PGA Tour in three weeks.

He told his website that he'll play the Memorial tourney which he had won for four times.
