PGA Tour winner Tommy Gainey speculates that Tiger Woods may make his PGA Tour Champions debut at the Insperity Invitational, based on a recent sponsorship deal. Woods, who turned 50 recently, continues to recover from surgery while facing encouragement from golf legends to join the senior circuit. Gainey believes the deal signals Woods' interest in the event.
