Bethesda, MD (Best E Casino) - The Tiger Woods Foundation announced Thursday that the AT&T National will shift to the Aronimink Golf Club in suburban Philadelphia for two years, while the tournament's normal host course, Congressional, is unavailable.

"I'd like to thank the board and the members for allowing us to hold our tournament there for two years. Aronimink is an amazing course with a rich history in golf," Woods said in a statement released in his website. "We are thrilled to bring the AT&T National to the local Philadelphia community, knowing that fans can expect the same exciting golf that has quickly become a tournament tradition."

The members of Aronimink unanimously voted Wednesday evening in favor of hosting the tournament.

"We are very pleased to be hosting this prestigious tournament, adding to the list of top-level tournaments contested at Aronimink, including the 1962 PGA, the 1977 U.S. Amateur, the 1997 Junior Amateur and the 2003 Senior PGA," said Mike Higgins, Aronimink's president.

Congressional Country Club is the normal host for the tournament. However, Congressional is slated to host the 2011 U.S. Open and will be unavailable in 2010 and 2011 precipitating this move.

Woods, who has not visited Aronimink, has never played professionally in the Philadelphia-area. He could visit the area three times in four years though with the two years of this event and the 2013 U.S. Open being played at nearby Merion Golf Club.

Several PGA Tour players competed in the '97 Junior Amateur at Aronimink, including Lucas Glover, who lost in the third round of match play; Adam Scott, who fell in the second round; Hunter Mahan, a first-round loser; Sean O'Hair, who lost in the semifinals to eventual runner-up and current Masters champ Trevor Immelman. The South African dropped a 1-down decision to Jason Allred in the final.
