If Tiger Woods wants to play in the PGA Tour's signature events, Tiger Woods will play in the PGA Tour's signature events.

ESPN's Mark Schlabach reported Tuesday the PGA Tour sent its members a memo revealing it created a special sponsor exemption for the legendary golfer based on his "exceptional lifetime achievement."

That means Woods will be allowed to compete in the eight signature events that have limited fields and increased prize money and FedEx Cup points even if he doesn't qualify by playing in enough tournaments.
