Tiger Woods is ready to take on the golf course and the microphones once again -- but this time, he's going to be taking questions. The golfing champ will hold a press conference on Monday, April 5th ... his first presser in five months.

The conference will take place at 2pm right before Woods participates in the 2010 Masters Golf Tournament played at Augusta National in Georgia.

Many have speculated that the golfer would remain tight-lipped at the event, however a rep for Augusta National tells X17online exclusively, "Tiger will be taking questions at the press conference." This is a different format from his tightly-controlled televised "apology" statement on Feb. 19 where Woods took no questions.

Sources say that security surrounding the Masters will be extremely tight, but the Augusta National rep declined to give details on their plan of attack for safety reasons.

All media passes to get into the tournament have been sold out since February. However on Monday, Augusta National is expecting to announce how they plan to make the footage available to the masses.

No word on whether Elin will be cheering from the sidelines.
