Just weeks after an adultery scandal allegedly forced Tiger Woods into a sex addition clinic, new speculation suggests he will return to competitive golf later this month.

The Melbourne Herald Sun is reporting Woods will make a "shock return" to golf at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona from Feb. 15 to 21.

"Only a fortnight after allegedly checking into a sex addiction clinic in Mississippi, the world No. 1 is set to stun the world by returning to the Dove Mountain course where he made his comeback from knee surgery last year," the Australian newspaper said.

The Herald Sun cited no sources in its report, and there is no official word from Tiger Woods' management team or the PGA Tour.

"We have no comment," Ty Votaw , the top PGA Tour spokesman, told the New York Daily News on Wednesday.

Woods, who is taking an indefinite break from professional golf, has been in hiding since admitting in December that he had cheated on his wife.

While the golfing world has speculated he'll make a return at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia in early April, the Herald Sun story suggests "it's safe to assume he will not turn up cold at Augusta."

"As a matchplay event, it's more for the purists than perhaps a 'regular' tour event would be, diminishing his chances of being harassed," the newspaper says in arguing for a return at the Accenture Match Play Championship.

"Similarly, if he was to play badly in round one, he could 'disappear' again rather than sit in the glare of the media spotlight until the mid-tournament cut."

Accenture dropped its sponsorship of Woods after he became engulfed in allegations of multiple extramarital affairs following a minor car accident outside his Florida home Nov. 27.

After nearly two months of mostly-false speculation on his whereabouts, Woods was allegedly photographed in January leaving a sex rehab clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
