In his 18-year pro career Tiger Woods has competed and won around the world.

He’s played on some of the best golf courses on the planet but there’s one golf course, and it’s on home soil, that Woods has never played.

The course is the famed Pine Valley Golf Club in southern New Jersey, and an ultra-exclusive male-only club of less than 1,000 members where the only means of entry for a visitor like Woods is in the company of a member.   Women are allowed to play on Sundays and the general public are permitted for one day of the year to watch a club match.

The ulstra-exclusive Pine Valley Golf Club where Tiger Woods would one day like to play.

Pine Valley has also never hosted a major tournament other the 1936 and 1985 Walker Cup while it also played host to a round of the Shell Wonderful World of Golf Series.

Pine Valley is also ranked No. 1 by Golf Magazine.

Woods had been asked by www.golfbytourmiss.com that given he has played all over the globe if there was one golf course and also one tournament that remains high on his ‘Bucket List’.

“There are probably a few courses I’d like to play, one being Pine Valley as I’ve never played Pine Valley,” he said.

“The thing I hate playing golf on my vacation days.  I’d much rather be home with my kids and be doing that than going on golf vacations.

“Maybe when my kids get older and they’re travelling with me and we go to these different places and they want to play or they want to go to see things and start doing things like that, then I will do it.  But now is not the time.”

As for a tournament Woods still wishes to win, he paused remarking:  “Great question”.

‘Riviera’, and venue for the former L A Open and now Northern Trust Open, was mentioned to him.

Woods responded to an event he has contested nine times and never won once:  “I won a junior event there. Does that count?  It does to me.”

Woods will be seeking his first European Tour success since capturing the Australian Masters in late 2009 and again brushing aside questions regarding his shock 79 to miss the third round cut last week in the defence of his Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

“Yeah, I’m here,” he said.

“No, as I said yesterday I practiced on my putting on Sunday back home, practiced Monday and I was better on Tuesday than I was on Monday and better today (WED) than I was on Tuesday, and hopefully tomorrow that trend continues.”
