FILE - This March 28, 2009, file photo shows Tiger Woods lining up a putt on the eighth hole during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Golf Tournament at the Bay Hill country club in Orlando, Fla. Woods is back at home after a week of family counseling in Arizona and is trying to get back into a routine that includes golf and fitness, according to a person with knowledge of his schedule. Woods is not likely to play next week in the World Golf Championship at Doral, where he has won three times. His next possibility on the PGA Tour is the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, where he is the defending champion and a six-time winner.

Tiger Woods intends to remain out of golf at least until the Masters, two people with knowledge of his plans have told The Associated Press. Woods has been practicing at Isleworth near his Orlando home the last two weeks, and swing coach Hank Haney flew there during the weekend to work with him. That led to speculation Thursday he was close to playing again.
