Tiger Woods Will Play At The Masters
Tiger Woods announced today that he will make his PGA comeback on April 5, at the Masters. Woods has been embroiled in scandal since the world found out about his numerous infidelities in the wake of a bizarre late night car accident in November outside of his Florida home.
"The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be, even though it's been awhile since I last played," said Woods.
According to media reports, Woods spent his time away from golf being treated for sex addiction in Mississippi. "I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy, and I am continuing my treatment. Although I'm returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.," Woods said in his statement on Tuesday.
Today's announcement likely comes as a relief for Woods' remaining sponsors who have been rocked by the scandal. The reason he's playing the Masters is to appease his current sponsors. This was very calculated," said Robert Boland, a sports management professor at New York University.
