Tiger Woods still can’t go to Sydney even though he wins Australian Masters

Despite Sydney hosting the premier event on the calendar, there is a contract stipulating the world No.1 can only play one event Down Under. Tiger held off Australia’s Greg Chalmers to win by two shots at Kingston Heath. It is thought that IMG, which runs the Masters tournament and also manages Woods, had clauses inserted in the contract for Woods to play in only one tournament in Australia.
