Woods determined to get back on top
Golf`s former number one Tiger Woods says he hopes playing a full schedule next year will see him climb back up the world rankings.
The American star is preparing for this week`s Chevron Challenge in Los Angeles, but only just qualified for the event after recently dropping out of the world`s top 50.
Woods says his fall from the top is partly a result of long lay-offs due to health and personal problems.
He finished 30th at last week`s Frys.com Open - his first tournament in two months, and has either missed or played badly in this year`s majors.
But next season he plans to compete more often, and believes that will see him return to form.
"I had points rolling off from `09. I had a very good year that year. I won, what, seven times around the world, so all those points are coming off. Unfortunately, I fell quite a bit, and I fell fast. Good news is, by playing next year, I have no points coming off, so I can start building," Woods said, adding:
"I`m certainly going to play a full schedule next year. It`s something I`m looking forward to. I thought this year would have been nice to have played a full schedule, unfortunately I got hurt. Just didn`t heal fast, so I`m looking forward to this next season, there is no doubt."
