There was a time when Tiger Woods could do no wrong. In the beginning, Tiger won three consecutive USGA Junior Championships followed by three consecutive U.S. Amateur Championships, a feat never before accomplished.
Never before had an unproven, inexperienced 19-year-old generated such an uproar, Within days of declaring his intention to compete as a professional golfer, Tiger had signed endorsement contracts that put him in the company of the richest athletes in history.
As the saga unfolded, Tiger's popularity grew to mythical proportions. reviews of hotels in bloomsbury london He became bigger than life. He won tournaments by such wide margins that other players began to value second place as a moral victory.

The ball was barely out of Tiger's hand when Johnny Miller questioned the accuracy of the point of entry.
In my opinion, Tiger's procedure was correct. He asked for and received confirmation from his scorekeeping playing partner, Casey Wittenberg and (not that it matters) both caddies. Even when he proceeds correctly, he is under suspicion. That isn't right.
I know Tiger doesn't do very much to alleviate provocation, but he is painting himself into a corner in the world of public opinion. I say let Mark Steinberg corral the money and employ a better publicist for Tiger.
