AUGUSTA — Tiger Woods (picture) played a practice round on Tuesday (yesterday morning, Singapore time) at Augusta National, a strong indication that the four-time champion could make his return at the Masters.

Mark Steinberg, his agent at Excel Sports Management, confirmed in an email to The Associated Press that Woods played 18 holes. Still to be determined is whether he returns for the Masters next week.

Woods has not played since he withdrew at Torrey Pines on Feb 5 after 11 holes because of tightness in his back. A week later, he said he would return to competition when he had the game for it.

The Augusta Chronicle first reported that Woods was in town after a plane matching the tail number of his Gulfstream G5 was parked at the terminal for private aircraft at Augusta Regional Airport.
