Tiger Woods announced he is returning to golf.

Woods made the announcement Tuesday that he will play at Augusta National beginning April 8.

It will be Woods' first time playing professionally since a sex scandal forced him to take a four-month hiatus.

Woods said Tuesday that although he is returning to competition, he still has a lot of work to do in his personal life.
