Los Angeles - Tiger Woods, whose marital infidelity led to a firestorm of scandal, will be featured in next week's season-opening episode of the Comedy Central animated television show "South Park".
A teaser clip with the label "All The Temptations" promoting next Wednesday's first show of South Park's 14th season has already been viewed by more than 62 000 people according to a counter on the network's web site.
In the selection, an animated Woods stands at a podium much as the real one did last month in Florida when he made a public apology, speaking about how he felt he could get away with anything and deserved to enjoy "all the temptations around me."
Only at the end of the clip does the scene expand to show Eric Cartman, one of South Park's main characters, standing behind the cartoon Woods and looking up at him as he speaks.
The real Woods has taken an indefinite break from golf to work on his personal life in the wake of a scandal that saw more than a dozen women claim to have had affairs with the world's number one golfer.
There had been speculation Woods might return later this month but several reports, including one late on Friday by the New York Times, say he will not make a comeback before next month's Masters.
If Woods did return for the year's first major championship at Augusta, Georgia, it would mean playing competitively for the first time in nearly five months in one of the game's most difficult tournaments.
