Just a month after his public apology to his wife, family, friends and fans, golfer Tiger Woods announced that he would return to play in the Masters next month. He said in a statement, "The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta. The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be, even though it's been a while since I last played."
He also noted, "I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy and I am continuing my treatment. Although I'm returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life."
Well, South Park co-creator Matt Stone is pulling for Woods, telling the AP about South Park's Tiger Woods-themed episode (titled "Sexual Healing"), "It's such an important issue in America right now - the sex addiction outbreak. We're all really concerned about him and hope he gets better." The show premieres tomorrow at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central; here's a clip:
