Mr Anderson and Sydney South West Area Health Service chief executive Mike Wallace came to an agreement in yesterday's meeting.

Mr Anderson is allowed to wear shorts, though they must be of a ''reasonable length''.

An area health service spokeswoman said, in a press statement:

''The meeting was a constructive one and agreement was reached. Tiger will return to providing pastoral care to the patients of Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals.

''Sydney South West Area Health Service, the hospitals and its staff are very grateful for the care and commitment shown by Mr Anderson and look forward to his return.’’
