For the first time since 2004, Tiger Woods is planning to compete in Wednesday's Par-3 Contest -- and he'll have his children, Sam and Charlie, there with him, Mark O'Meara confirmed to ESPN.
The traditional nine-hole event serves as a calm before the storm of the year's first major championship. Competitors employ family members or friends as caddies, while smiles and laughs rule the laid-back afternoon.
In his last appearance in the Par-3, Woods competed alongside Arnold Palmer and O'Meara. His hole-in-one on the final hole eventually gave him a share of the day's best score, but he elected to forgo a playoff. That might have been a strategic maneuver, considering no player ever has won the Par-3 and the Masters in the same year.
