Tiger comeback confirmed

It’s official: Woods will play in The Masters next month

Tiger Woods has chosen the grandest of stages for his golf comeback: Augusta National. On hiatus since November—when news broke that he was cheating on his wife with more than a dozen mistresses—Woods announced this morning that he will return to action at The Masters, which begins April 8. “The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect,” he said in a released statement. “After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta.” Woods has undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy for sex addiction, and says that “although I’m returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.”
