While there was no confirmation from Woods on his Web site, several media outlets reported on Monday's practice session.

Tim Rosaforte reported on the Golf Digest Web site that Woods flew to Augusta on Monday morning and played 36 holes, "followed by a lengthy short-game session."

Rosaforte also said Woods has a similar practice session planned for Tuesday before returning to his home in Isleworth outside Orlando, Fla.

The Golf Channel also reported that Woods practiced at Augusta, and ESPN confirmed the report, as did the local newspaper, the Augusta Chronicle.

Woods, a four-time Masters champion, will be making his return to the PGA TOUR at the season's first major following a Thanksgiving week incident that led to revelations of infidelity, for which Woods has apologized.

"I'm excited to get back and play," Woods told Golf Channel during an interview that was aired Sunday. "I miss the game. I miss playing, I miss competing."

Woods later added, "I'm starting to get my feel back. I know how to play the golf course and that helps a lot."
