Tiger Woods will play The Players Championship; starts May 7 image

Tiger Woods has confirmed he will play at The Players Championship next month.

Woods, a 14-time major champion, returned from a self-imposed two-month hiatus to play at the Masters, where he was 17th after going 5-under par.

Following the tournament, Woods confirmed he would take more time off to practice and refine his game.

The Players at TPC Sawgrass, near Jacksonville, Fla., starts on May 7. It is often referred to as golf's "fifth major."

Woods' dramatic decline saw him fall out the world's top 100. He was 106th in the latest rankings.
