Tiger Woods has been urged by Geoff Ogilvy to return to the game and public eye for the sake of the game and his fellow pros.

After there were reports regarding Wood's sex addiction and marital problems, the World No. 1 took an indefinite break.

There are no suggestions as to when he will return; however Aussie Ogilvy, 32, the 2006 US Open champion, feels that the 14-time Major winner should be strong enough to fight the media reports against him.

"I think the least amount of circus he could face would be if he went to Augusta first. That would be the most controlled environment he could be in, but if he truly, truly wants to win the Masters, he's going to have to play before then," said Ogilvy.

He continued that Woods should join back the golf course, as it will be good for his fellow players as well, it will help in diffusing the circus part of it at least before he actually gets to the tournament.
