During conversations with Tiger Woods in a practice round in Isleworth, Atwal and Woods discussed whether Atwal would be in Aronimink. Apparently, a sponsor a contestant gave up a spot and Atwal was able to take position via a sponsorship exemption. Woods and Atwal both live in Isleworth near Orlando and frequently practice together.
The Honda Classic at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens may be the toughest opening round on the tour.
