Ailing Woods plans to play charity event

Tiger Woods, missing a second straight major golf championship this week with an injured left leg, plans to play in his buddy Notah Begay's charity event on August 31, Begay said on Thursday.

Woods did not immediately confirm his participation. But Begay, a fellow golfer who was a teammate of Woods at Stanford, said in a statement that Woods would play in the Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge at Turning Stone Resort near Verona, New York.

Begay rescheduled the event from its original July 5 date in the hope that Woods would be able to take part.
