Will Tiger Woods play in the Masters Tournament next week?

The answer to the big question may be leaning toward "yes." Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told The Associated Press that Woods played 18 holes at Augusta National on Tuesday.

Woods' Gulfstream G5 was spotted at Augusta Regional Airport earlier in the day, The Augusta Chronicle reported.

Woods hasn't played in a PGA Tour event since he exited Torrey Pines after 11 holes Feb. 5. He missed the next two events at PGA National and Bay Hill, but has expressed his wish to play in the Masters.

The four-time Masters champion missed last year's tournament after undergoing back surgery the week before. It was the first time in 20 years he missed the season's first major at Augusta.

Currently, Woods is sitting at 104th in the Official World Golf Rankings, his lowest rank since joining the PGA Tour in 1996.
