Orlando, FL (My Sportsbook) - Tiger Woods may be returning to the PGA Tour in two weeks at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, according to a report in the New York Post. In a story Thursday, the Post credits "two sources in the golf community" with information that Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary to President George W. Bush, is working with Woods on a game plan on how to return to the tour. That return appears to be at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks. "They were in his living room this week going over a strategy for how to handle Bay Hill in two weeks," said one of the Post's sources. "I would be shocked if he didn't play the Arnold Palmer," said the paper's other source. Woods hasn't played on tour since the fall of 2009. His early-morning accident the day after Thanksgiving led to Woods admitting marital infidelity. He has been in a self-imposed break from golf. According to the Post, Fleischer was brought in to help with the impending media blitz. Fleischer opened Ari Fleischer Sports Communications in 2008 and helped Mark McGwire with his confession of steroid use. Woods held a 14-minute press session on Feb. 19 where he didn't answer any questions. That will not happen upon his return to the PGA Tour. He has won the Arnold Palmer six times, including last year, when he beat Sean O'Hair by a shot with a dramatic birdie putt on the last hole.
