NOTES

PGA: Woods won the fog-delayed 2013 Farmers Insurance Open on Monday by four strokes, and he's entered again this year. That victory was his PGA Tour record eighth at Torrey Pines, including one in the 2008 U.S. Open.

LPGA: A year ago the first-year Bahamas tournament was reduced to three 12-hole rounds because of flooding. … Top-ranked Inbee Park is skipping this season-opening event. Suzann Pettersen, Stacy Lewis and 16-year-old Lydia Ko — ranked Nos. 2 to 4, respectively — are entered.
