Tiger Woods will emerge from exile swinging at the Masters tourney in April, USA Today reports. “After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta,” the troubled golf star says in a statement. He says he considered the Masters “the earliest I could play” after “2 months of inpatient therapy,” but doesn't specify what he's been treated for. “Augusta is where I need to be, even though it's been a while since I last played.” (More Tiger Woods stories.)
