Tiger Woods will return to golf on Tuesday, when he tees it up in the indoor TGL league.

Woods, 49, initially planned to compete in the Genesis Invitational, but he withdrew after saying he was still "processing" the death of his mother.

Woods revealed last week that his mother, Kultida, had died at 78 years old. 

"I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready," Woods said in a statement. "I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.
