   World number-one golfer Tiger Woods of the United States has announced
   he  will  return  to the sport next month at the Masters tournament in
   Augusta, Georgia.
   In  a  statement  released on his website Tuesday, Woods announced his
   return after a four-month hiatus from the sport, following revelations
   that he had cheated on his wife with numerous women.
   Woods  is  a  four-time  champion  at  the  Masters,  the  first major
   tournament of the year, with his last victory there coming in 2005.

   The  scandal-plagued  golfer  has  not  played  competitive golf since
   November  15, when he won the Australian Masters.  Less than two weeks
   later,  he  crashed  his  car  into  a  tree outside his Florida home,
   setting  off  a flurry of negative publicity that resulted in the loss
   of millions of dollars for product endorsements.
   Woods  says  that while he is returning to competition, he still has a
   lot of work to do in his personal life.  The Masters begins at Augusta
   National on April 8.
