Tiger Woods confirms mild Achilles strain, could be hitting balls next week ()

After wondering what Tiger Woods' status would be for the Masters, the 14-time major winner confirmed on Monday evening via Twitter that he's going to be good to go for the first major of the year. "Got good news from doc tonight. Only mild strain of left Achilles. Can resume hitting balls late in week and hopeful for next week," Woods tweeted . Based on Woods' positive outlook, it would appear the early doom and gloom reports were exaggerated just a bit. The even better news is that if Woods resumes hitting balls next weeks, there's still an outside shot he could be ready for Bay Hill, which was supposed to be his final tuneup before the Masters. However, even if he doesn't get in the final test run in a couple weeks, the fact that Woods could be back on the range at some point in the near future is definitely a good sign.
