AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods will return to golf at the Masters next month.

In a statement Tuesday, Woods said he will play at Augusta National after a four-month hiatus because of a sex scandal.

The Masters begins on April 8.

Woods says that while he’s returning to competition, he still has a lot of work to do in this personal life.

He last played Nov. 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 revelations that he had been cheating on his wife.
