Tiger Woods To Play In Masters

14 time major champion Tiger Woods announced today that he will play in next week's Masters.

"I'm playing in the Masters," Woods announced on his website Friday afternoon. "I've worked a lot on my game and I'm looking forward to competing."

Because of injuries and poor play, Woods has not participated in a PGA Tour event for more than two months.

The four-time Masters champion has played in only two events this season. In early February he missed the cut at a tournament in Phoenix and withdrew due to a back injury the following week in San Diego.

Woods played a practice round at Augusta National on Tuesday, then again at the famed course on Friday. The Masters gets underway with first round action on Thursday.
