Golfing great Tiger Woods has announced his return to the course, nine months after taking an enforced break due to injuries and personal issues.
The 41-year-old underwent back surgery in April, his fourth operation since 2014, and was arrested in May for being asleep at the wheel of a vehicle in Florida.
Woods has 'extremely slow and slurred speech' after being awoken by the police.
The American claimed he had suffered an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications.
Woods pled guilty to reckless driving last week.
The 14-time golf major winner will return at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, beginning November 30.
"I am excited to return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge," Woods said.
"Albany is the perfect setting and it will be great to join this outstanding field.
"I would also like to thank the fans for their unwavering support during my injury."
The 18-strong field includes fellow Americans Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Matt Kuchar as well as other notables including Australian Jason Day and Justin Rose from England.
Woods hasn't won a PGA event since the 2013 Bridgestone Invitational .. his 79th tour title.
