Tiger Woods ended the suspense on Tuesday, saying he will play the Masters just 14 months after a car crash that nearly resulted in doctors amputating his right leg and setting the stage for what could go down as one of sport's greatest comebacks.

In a career already packed with remarkable comebacks, this week at Augusta National could be the scene of something extraordinary, with Woods saying he will not only play the Masters but that he can win a sixth Green Jacket.

Woods had teased on Sunday that playing in the year's first major would be a "game-time" decision and after a morning on the practice range, he walked into the media center and delivered the news golf fans had been waiting to hear.
