Woods was involved in auto accident last year on November 27th which sparked a media frenzy, heightened by the news of Woods’ martial infidelity. Two weeks later, Woods announced he would be taking an indefinite leave from professional golf to focus on his marriage. On March 16, 2010, he announced his return to the PGA with his participation in the 2010 Masters Tournament. Woods will be looking to win his fifth Masters as he draws closer to Jack Nicklaus who holds the most Masters victories with six.
