(Reuters) - Tiger Woods shed some light on his Masters preparations as he said on Thursday he will skip next week's Honda Classic and return in the first two weeks of March for the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship.

Woods, fresh off a tie for 15th place at the Genesis Open on Sunday, announced the decision on Twitter shortly before teeing off in the opening round of the WGC-Mexico Championship, his third PGA Tour event of the season.
