Tiger Woods confirms Masters participation

Tiger Woods confirms that he will take part in next week's Masters at Augusta.

Tiger Woods has announced that he will make his return to competitive golf at next week's Masters in Augusta.

The former world number one, who is a four-time winner at the tournament, has been taking time out to work on his game, and has not played at the first Major of the year since 2013.

He told his website: "I'm playing in The Masters. It's obviously very important to me, and I want to be there.

"I've worked a lot on my game and I'm looking forward to competing. I'm excited to get to Augusta and I appreciate everyone's support."

Bubba Watson is the defending champion after winning his second Masters title in 2014.
