Less than 14 months after suffering major leg injuries in a wreck in Rancho Palos Verdes, Tiger Woods says that, for now anyway, he's planning to play this week in the Masters.

The five-time champion at Augusta National made the announcement Tuesday morning. He will play nine more practice holes on Wednesday before making a final decision, but will be doing so with the intention of playing Thursday.

"As of right now," Woods said, "I feel like I'm going to play."
