Many thought that Tiger Woods' seemingly limitless sex scandal would end his career. But now, after a stint in a sexual addiction clinic, Woods says he's ready to rebuild his professional life and has announced he'll play at the Augusta Masters tournament in early April.

The timing is ideal for him: In the golfing calendar, the Augusta Masters represents "spring and rebirth," says Mike Lopresti at USA Today. This event, where Woods' "legend first bloomed," is one that represents "warm memories" and "easier days." And it won't hurt that "the crowds at Augusta are as reverent as church pews, and their size is tightly controlled."
