Embattled star Woods likely to return at Masters

All signs point to troubled Tiger ending hiatus at Augusta National

DORAL, Florida - Tiger Woods intends to remain out of golf at least until the Masters, two people with knowledge of his plans told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Woods has been practising at Isleworth near his Orlando home the past two weeks and swing coach Hank Haney flew there during the weekend to work with him. That led to speculation on Thursday he was close to playing again.
