Tiger shakes it up to gear up for major

GRAND BLANC, Mich: Tiger Woods will try something he has never done before and play in back-to-back events ahead of the PGA Championship as he prepares for his last chance to win a major title this year.

Returning to work for the first time since missing the cut at the British Open, Woods tees up at the Buick Open on Thursday in what will be the first of three consecutive events for the world No 1.

Woods is also scheduled to play the World Golf Championship event next week in Akron followed by the PGA Championship at Hazeltine to complete a rare run of three consecutive starts.
