The World Golf Championship at Firestone will mark his return next week.

Tiger Woods of the U.S. tips his hat after sinking a par putt on the second green during first round play in the 2011 Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, April 7, 2011.

Woods, who said to have nursed his injured left leg, has been out of golf for nearly three months, missing the U.S. and British Opens and having failed to win the last nine majors he has played.
