Elin prepared to give marriage another try after Tiger Woods rehab program finishes.

Tiger Woods has completed treatment for sex addiction at Gentle Path in Mississippi. The professional golfer spent six weeks at the facility. His wife Elin picked him up yesterday and as far as we know, he's been reunited with his kids.

What happens now to his marriage and family is still a question. Woods entered rehab after several women made allegations that he was having an affair. The women are waitresses, porn stars and club hostesses from all over the country.

Woods was surrounded by heavy security and flew home to Florida on Friday night. There's no much known what he did after that, but there are reports that he had an emotional reunion with his kids, Sam, two, and one-year-old Charlie. His marriage is still on the rocks, but it appears that his wife Elin is willing to reconcile.

The tabloids exploded with reports about the alleged affairs after he was involved in a bizarre car accident. He was found barefoot, unconscious and bleeding at the side of a road near his home. At first, he refused to talk to police, but then issued a statement that thanked his wife for getting him out of the car.

Tiger Woods then made a public apology for his "transgressions" in a written statement. He quickly disappeared from the public eye as more women came forward with additional allegations. Elin moved out and consulted with a divorce lawyer shortly before he entered rehab in late December.

However, Elin has reportedly canceled her plans to divorce and has decided to try and save her five-year marriage. She has not been seen with wearing a wedding ring since late November. Tiger attended group therapy sessions and individual counseling at Gentle Path in Mississippi.

Professional Golf Championship Scheduled In Arizona

According to the Herald Sun in Melbourne, Australia, Tiger Woods plans to make his return to competitive golf in two weeks at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona. The tournament runs from February 15th through the 21st. As of today, he is not on the roster to play.

However, this could change as he can enter the tournament before it begins. His fans and the companies that stood by him are hoping for his fast return. Some experts believe that it might be too soon, others believe that he needs to get on with his life.
