Tiger Woods didn't celebrate his victory at the PGA Championship by partying all night. He picked up a puppy.

Woods and his wife, Elin , flew to Houston from the Chicago area after the golf tournament at Medinah Country Club on Sunday and got a labradoodle, according to a monthly newsletter on Woods's Web site. Woods already has a border collie named Taz .

"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.
