The Victorian Government will bid to have Tiger Woods return to Melbourne to play in the Australian Masters this year.
Sports Minister James Merlino said Victorians will welcome back Woods with open arms and the government would love to have him back, despite the controversy surrounding his sex life.
Last year Woods received a $3.25m appearance fee to play in the event, which he won, with the state government chipping in $1.5m.
Earlier, Australian politician Peter Ryan had said that Woods should be disqualified from receiving taxpayer dollars to play in Victoria because of his infamous transgressions.
