(Reuters) - Tiger Woods will begin his quest for a record third FedExCup championship next week as the former world number one on Friday committed to the playoffs opener at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. "Excited to head to Boston for @TheNTGolf and start the #FedExCup Playoffs," Woods, who won the FedExCup in 2007 and 2009, announced on Twitter. After the round, which was his lowest of the week, Woods said he was gearing up for a heavy workload in case he has the opportunity to compete in three consecutive weeks. Woods shot an opening-round 75 at last year's Northern Trust but withdrew before the second round with a mild oblique strain. He competed the following week and in October picked up his 82nd PGA Tour win with his triumph at the Zozo Championship in Japan.
