==History== In 2000, the tournament was staged twice, with [[Tom Lehman]] winning the first event in January. The tournament then moved to December of that year, with [[Davis Love III]] winning that event. It has been played in December ever since. The January 2000 event was played at Grayhawk Golf Club in [[Scottsdale, Arizona]]. From December 2000 to 2013, the event took place at [[Sherwood Country Club]], a course designed by [[Jack Nicklaus]], in [[Thousand Oaks, California]]. In 2008, Woods did not compete due to knee surgery following his [[2008 U.S. Open (golf)|2008 U.S. Open]] victory, even though he was the two-time defending champion. He did not play in 2009 due to time spent away from golf related to personal matters. Woods returned to the event in 2010. In 2011, Woods won the tournament with a score of β10, defeating [[Zach Johnson]] by one shot. Woods made birdie on the final two holes to win; it was his first win in over two years, since the 2009 Australian Masters. The tournament was the '''Williams World Challenge''' for its first three playings/two years. Beginning in 2002 was rechristened the '''Target World Challenge'''. It was called the '''Chevron World Challenge''' from 2008 through 2011.
