According to a report in the Melbourne Sun, Tiger Woods will make his return to golf at the Accenture Match Play Championship.

The match play event takes place in two weeks (Feb. 15-21) and will be played on U.S. soil. The Australian newspaper report comes on the heels of more allegations that Woods is undergoing treatment for sex addiction at a Mississippi clinic. The world No. 1 has been photographed just once and has not spoke to the media since he crashed his SUV outside of his Florida home in early December.

The crash exposed a series of extra-marital affairs involving Woods and prompted the golfer to take a leave from the game.

The match play event, to be contested on The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Arizona, offers a purse of $9.54 million and was won last year by Melbourne's Geoff Ogilvy.

It is considered to be one of the most prestigious titles outside the four major championships. Woods won the event in in 2003, 2004 and 2008.
