It's official. Tiger Woods will play in next months Masters golf tournament.
After laying low for several months following his Thanksgiving night car crash and the subsequent revelations of infidelity, Woods announced he will make his PGA return at next months Masters.
Woods return April 8th from a self-imposed exile is most likely a calculated move given that Augusta National Golf Club is know for its tight control of the news media and fans.
The big winners here are certainly the networks, ESPN and CBS, which are broadcasting the tournament, and stand to gain from what could be the highest television ratings of all time, for a golf tournament.
Known as the ultimate perfectionist, Woods faces many unknowns when he steps back on the golf course next month - including how he will handle the pressure and scrutiny, whether or not he'll be in top form or even if he will make the cut.
Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain. The PGA needs him out on the tour as TV ratings have been down 11% without his presence, compared to the same time period last year.
