Woods called Japan "one of my favorites countries" in a tweet announcing his decision to play the PGA Tour's first official event in the Asian country.

"It's going to be a fun fall."

The 43-year-old American won his 15th major title when he came from behind to earn his fifth green jacket in Augusta earlier this month, ending an 11-year major title drought.
