Tiger Woods will return to play in the Masters, he said in a statement today. It will be Woods’ first golf tournament and second public appearance since his post-Thanksgiving car crash and ensuing sex scandal.
In a statement Woods said, “The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta.” He also said he has “undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy,” but “I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.”
The world’s preeminent golfer has not played since he won the Australian Masters on November 15, 2009. Woods was not seen for months until Getty captured pictures of him running in mid-February, several days before his public apology.
