Golf: Woods to Make Return Next Week in Arizona

Tiger Woods confirmed he'll be returning to competition at next week's WGC-Match Play Championship in Arizona saying on his website "I'm now ready to play again."

The world's top golfer hasn't played since undergoing orthroscopic knee surgery after winning his 14th major at Torrey Pines last year. Woods was suffering from stabbing knee pains and a double stress fracture in his tibia during his inspiring overtime win over Rocco Mediate.

The 33-year old began hitting full shots midway through last December and made the April 9-12 U.S. Masters his top priority.

His personal time away from the green wasn't spent idle either. He and his wife, Elin, gave birth to their second child Charlie. The couple already have a daughter, Sam.

We are delighted that tiger woods is returning to competition and look forward on watching him compete next week. His return could last only one day. He could also advance to the weekend, where Tigers Woods might face as many as 36 holes a day.
