Tiger Woods returns to golf via The Masters 2010: transcript/text

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.

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 a while since I last played.

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.

When I finally got into a position to think about competitive golf again, it became apparent to me that the Masters would be the earliest I could play. I called both Joe Lewis and Arnold Palmer and expressed my regrets for not attending the Tavistock Cup and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I again want to thank them both for their support and their understanding. Those are fantastic tournaments and I look forward to competing in them again.

I would also like to thank the Augusta National members and staff for their support. I have deep appreciation for everything that they do to create a wonderful event for the benefit of the game.

That is the statement from Tiger Woods announcing his return to The Masters this spring. The wait is finally over. After four months away from competitive golf, the biggest draw in the sport has finally announced his comeback. Expect The 2010 Masters to be the most watched golf tournament this year.

Tiger Woods has not competed for four months since he won the Australian Masters for his 82nd victory worldwide. Twelve days later, he crashed his luxury SUV into a tree outside his Florida home, setting off shocking revelations that he had been cheating on his wife.
