Will Tiger pounce at Riviera? E-Mail To A Friend! Will we be going back to the future this week at the Nissan Open? We'll know Sunday afternoon if Tiger Woods finishes fourth or better at Riviera Country Club. Woods needs to earn 19 points in the Official World Golf Ranking to overtake Vijay Singh and regain the No. 1 spot in the world that he held for more than five years. Singh, who has held down the top spot for the last six months, is taking the week off. Woods, though, will face a stiff challenge from No. 5 Retief Goosen, No. 6 Mike Weir -- the two-time defending champion -- and nine others ranked among the top 20 in the world. A month ago at the Buick Invitational, Woods won his first stroke play event in more than a year. The victory was his third at Torrey Pines. Woods hasn't had the same kind of success at Riviera Country Club, though, in a tournament he first played as a 16-year-old amateur. In fact, he has made more appearances in the Nissan Open than any other event on the PGA TOUR. Woods' considerable resume that features 41 TOUR victories, though, doesn't include a Nissan Open title.
