Ishikawa to play against Tiger Woods

Japanese teenager Ryo Ishikawa has been sponsored to travel to China for the golf HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai in November, where world No. 1 Tiger Woods leads the field.
The 18-year-old confirmed his participation in the prestigious event on Thursday and thus skips a much smaller event on the Japan Golf Tour on the same Nov. 5-8 weekend.
Champions tournament, a seven million U.S. dollars event, has been included on the World Golf Championship calendar for the first time this year.
