BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhuanet) -- Tiger Woods said on Monday that his left Achilles' tendon has a mild strain and hopes to play in next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, an event he's won six times, according to media reports.

“Got good news from doc tonight," Woods tweeted Monday night. "Only mild strain of left Achilles. Can resume hitting balls late in week and hopeful for next week."

Woods withdrew from the Cadillac Championship at Doral on Sunday after hitting his tee shot on the 12th hole.

Woods said his left Achilles tendon felt tight as he warmed up on the practice range before the final round of the Cadillac Championship, and it got worse from there.

Woods is scheduled to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, which starts March 22, his final tournament before the Masters.
