WASHINGTON -- During his rookie season on the PGA Tour in 1996, Tiger Woods and his father, Earl, set up a foundation to help disadvantaged children. They eventually opened a learning center near the family's California home. The only thing that Woods and his father talked about but never accomplished was starting a golf tournament to benefit the foundation. Earl Woods died last year, but the tournament has now become a reality. During a jam-packed news conference at the National Press Club, Woods and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem announced yesterday that the AT&T National will be played July 5-8 in the Washington area.

TAMPA, Fla.-- --Finally, my first ACC men's basketball tournament. I'd heard the stories from coaches, players and fellow sportswriters for years and have looked forward to experiencing the event in person. The rich tradition. The frenzied excitement. The flip-flops and sunscreen. Yep, you read that right. Something funny happened when the tournament made the trek from Tobacco Road to the Cigar City. That little thing that made the event so special seems to have gotten lost, stranded at a Waffle House in Georgia probably.

Perry Hall's girls and Woodlawn's boys let it be known in no uncertain terms that they will be the teams to beat when Baltimore County gets around to conducting its indoor track championships at the 5th Regiment Armory at the end of the month.Remember former Orioles' manager Earl Weaver's description of his squad as possessing "deep depth?" That was the key to Perry Hall's success in the dress-rehearsal County Relays at the Armory last evening.The Gators had three firsts, three seconds and a pair of thirds on the nine-event program, failing to score in just the high jump.

When the world's top senior golfers play Hobbit's Glen Golf Course this week in pursuit of a share of the $1.25 million purse, they bring to town an event that is part athletic contest, part charity fund raising, part corporate advertising and part pure merchandising, with a large dollop of high-rent schmoozing thrown in.This traveling carnival of golf and money is expected to bring about $15 million in golf-related commerce into Howard County and the...

SATURDAY 72 FILM FEST: The 72 Film Fest, in its fourth year, gives budding filmmakers 72 hours to write, direct, edit and score a short film. The theme for this year's films, created between Oct. 1 and 4, was "image of influence," in which the filmmakers chose an image that had a major influence on their final product.

Baltimore might be the pick of Indy Racing League, but is Baltimore ready to embrace Indianapolis 500 cars zooming down city streets at 180 miles per hour? Baltimore Racing Development's announcement Monday that the IRL is ready to roll through Baltimore in 2011 is great news, but only if organizers can make their case that the benefits outweigh the headaches. Small wonder that Mayor Sheila Dixon was left waving the yellow caution flag. "The city must carefully consider the costs of this event ... against the competing economic interests," the mayor's statement explained.

Terri Kieffer playfully taunted Alvin, her beloved 9-month-old yellow Lab, to jump into the pool ahead. "You want to get it?" the Emmitsburg resident shouted at her dog as she held up a blue chew toy. "Now get it!" she yelled as she flicked it into the pool. Alvin ran down the 40-foot dock and leaped a good 14 feet into the pool, making a gigantic splash. Several hundred onlookers clapped enthusiastically Sunday during the Dockdogs competition at the Harford County Farm Fair in Bel Air.

The event will hold its third series of presentations tonight at Windup Space, at 12 W. North Ave., where it got its start last year.

The annual Marlborough Hunt Races at Roedown Farm in Davidsonville celebrated its 35th anniversary last Sunday and in the process offered up a musical dichotomy of sorts. Near the starting line rail at one end of the oval racetrack, three local bands played between races and produced a musical mixture of guitars, bongos and pop-rock vocals for spectators and nearby tailgaters. And, where more of the racing could be seen, the audience heard a different soundtrack - the rhythmic galloping of horses and the occasional crescendo of resounding cheers.
