PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Masters Champion Tiger Woods, who captured his ninth Major championship last weekend at Augusta National Golf Club, has earned his seventh berth in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

The 2005 PGA Grand Slam of Golf, which brings together the winners of the year's four major championships, is Nov. 22-23, at Poipu Bay Golf Course & Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa in Kauai, Hawaii.
