Tiger Woods whose golf career and celebrity status were turned upside-down in the wake of a sexual scandal after a car crash last November, will return to the game of golf later this month, reports the New York Post.
The newspaper claims Woods will play in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which begins March 25 at Bay Hill near Orlando.
Woods spoke publicly for the first time since his car crash earlier this month to a small group of friends and family and on national television. During the news conference, he admitted engaging in adultery and apologized to everyone who has been affected by the scandal, especially his wife and children. Media had long speculated on wife Elin Nordegren’s role in the minor car crash that left the world’s greatest golfer bruised outside the couple’s Isleworth home Nov. 27. Since then, several women have alleged sexual involvement with Woods, while most of the athlete’s sponsors abandoned Tiger following the Thanksgiving spectacle. Woods went to sex rehab and now reports show he and his wife are in the process of reconciliation.
The Post also reports former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer will represent Tiger Woods during his foray back into the public eye.
