Woods will also be re-united with his old adversary Phil Mickelson this week. 

Mickelson is one of 18 LIV Golf League players competing in the tradition unlike any other. 

LIV Golf boss Greg Norman has claimed the 'rebel' league players will swarm the 18th green if one of the breakaway tour pros wins. 

Brooks Koepka also chimed in on that regard after winning his second LIV Golf event. 

As for Woods, he is scheduled to speak to the media on 4 April.
