"He'll be good company for Taz," Woods said of his new dog, which is now at his home in Florida.
The puppy, named Yogi , is a mix between a Labrador retriever and a standard poodle.
Woods is competing this week in the World Golf Championships' Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio. He has won the past three events he has played: the British Open, the Buick Open and the PGA Championship.
When he returns home, he said he's expecting his pooches to be well acclimated to each other.
