Tiger tipped to make return in two weeks

TOURNAMENT officials at the WGC-Accenture Match Play have been unable to confirm speculation that Tiger Woods is set to return to golf at the Arizona event in 12 days’ time.

Reports in an Australian newspaper suggested the world number one was ready to return to golf for the first time since a car accident in late November which led to revelations of extra-marital affairs and an admission of “trangressions” in Woods’ personal life.

World number one Woods announced in early December that he was taking an indefinite leave from the sport to focus on becoming “a better husband, father and person” and the American has not been seen in public since.
