My guess is he'll be playing the Masters but not winning it. I think he's still bunkered down in that ridiculous sex addiction clinic. And he hasn't been seen anywhere in public. If he was out on any golf course practicing he would have been seen or filmed by now. So basically he's got just 2 months or less to get ready after not even picking up a club for the last couple of months. And since he hasn't been in the heat of competetion, it's going to make it double tough if the Masters is his first tournament back. I just think the window of opportunity is pretty narrow for Tiger to win this first major. I would think he would be more tuned up for the U.S.Open if he even decides to come back at all this year. We still don't know. This incident was a HUGE hit to his ego. With all of the distractions, he may not be back to his old self for a long time.
NOPE:

Woods, who will return to golf next week at Augusta National after months of seclusion following revelations he cheated on his wife, is shaping up to be a big market for bettors in Britain.
"We'll absolutely certainly take a couple of million (pounds) on it ourselves," William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said Tuesday. "So far, people are sensibly reluctant to part with their cash until two or three days beforehand . . . because once you place your bet you can't cancel it."
Both William Hill and Ladbrokes have Woods listed as the 4-1 favourite to win. The 34-year-old Woods has won the Masters four times.
Phil Mickelson is the second favourite behind Woods at 9-1, and Ernie Els is third at 10-1, according to William Hill.
