DORAL, Fla. (AP) -- Jim Furyk already has played eight times, and he now embarks on the busiest time of his year. Furyk said he will have no more than one week off at a time through the end of the TOUR Championship the last weekend in September, which has made him determined to cut back.

But where?

"The issue we have now is there's a lot of good events, and when they're crammed together, I've really struggled making my schedule," Furyk said. "It used to be easy. All those events in the fall, I only played one on the schedule (Las Vegas). Those other events were sprinkled in, and those were my weeks off. From now, I don't have a two-week break in the schedule unless I get hurt."

He is playing New Orleans because he does not want a two-week break before the Masters. His favorite tracks are Hilton Head, Colonial, Memorial and the Buick Open, and there are can't-miss events like Wachovia, The Players Championship and AT&T National.

The British Open is the first of four straight weeks because he is the defending champion at the Canadian Open.

"I've got to cut somewhere, but I don't know where," Furyk said. "I'm playing a lot at events that I think are OK for my game, but I'm trying to not be worn out for the events I really love in summer. Next year, I'll do a better job. It should have taken me six months to figure it out, and it's taken me two years."
