THE LATEST

⛳ Tiger Woods says he's back in a major way.

The legendary golfer said on Tuesday that "as of right now" he will be playing in this year's Masters, which would be his first major tournament since he nearly lost his right leg in a car crash last year. It's a fitting return, as this year marks 25 years since Tiger won his first green jacket at the famed course in Augusta, Georgia, at just 21, his first major championship.

Norovirus cases are up: Here's how to get better, and when to seek help.

If you're one of the unlucky ones who caught the stomach bug recently, you're not alone.

Here's how to best avoid an infection of the nasty bug, which causes vomiting and diarrhea, and what to do if you do get sick.

Finally! Twitter says it will launch 'edit' button for tweets.

You will soon have a chance to fix that typo in your otherwise brilliant tweet or punch up that bold take about a hot dog being a sandwich. Twitter said Tuesday it has been working on an edit feature since last year, something its users have been requesting for years. The company said it will be testing the feature in the upcoming months. Get exsited! 😉

But when she pushed for a CT scan, it turned out to be lymphoma. She's now in remission and training for the Boston Marathon, but — like a lot of women we've spoken to — she wonders if her initial worries would have been taken more seriously if she was a man. "I was always asking to be seen, or asking somebody to listen to me. It was frustrating."

DAILY DELIGHT

A little pick-me-up before you go.

This Hoda and Thomas Rhett duet on TODAY was heaven sent. Hoda and the country star sang Rhett's "Look What God Gave Her" to the delight of the Rockefeller Plaza crowd on Tuesday. Hoda is all about the country duets lately, as she and Savannah recently teamed up for a rousing acoustic performance of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" on "The Tonight Show."
