Look ... who's ... back.
Tiger Woods announced Thursday on his Web site that he will play in next week's WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona. It will be his first tournament since having reconstructive ACL surgery after winning the U.S. Open last June.
With the birth of Woods' son, Charlie, on Feb. 8, speculation had intensified about Woods' return.
"I'm now ready to play again," Woods said as part of a five-paragraph statement posted on tigerwoods.com.
The Match Play Championship begins Wednesday in Tucson, Ariz., where Woods will end his 253-day break from competition.
The timing could not be better for the PGA Tour, which has seen television ratings plunge after the world's No. 1 player had to miss the second half of the 2008 season, including two majors, the Ryder Cup and the FedEx Cup playoffs.
