MIAMI (Reuters) - Tiger Woods is expected to let the PGA Tour know soon when he will return to action, Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said on Sunday.

Els breaks his two-year drought at Florida's Doral Resort in Miami Florida

He was thrilled to claim the team trophy at the 14-team tournament. He was excited to watch senior Seath Lauer tie for medalist honors after 54 holes before losing on the fourth playoff hole.

But that joy was replaced by heartbreak when Jones learned that star sophomore Brooks Koepka, the nation's top-ranked player, was disqualified because of a scorecard error. Koepka made a mistake in recording his score on one hole and then signed the card, forcing an immediate disqualification. He would have finished third overall, one shot out of the lead.
