Tiger Eldrick Woods, never has one man had such an influence on the sport he has played. Woods' meteoric rise to fame is global. His fan base is huge, his talent unrivalled.
Woods has been number one in the World Golf Rankings since 2005 and has collated 14 major championship wins in a fantastic career.
Golf fans adore him and, when news broke of the marital problems, most of us shrugged our shoulders. He's human, we all make mistakes. We want to see Tiger back and playing.
Yet, his announcement to run a "media circus" during one of the largest competitions his fellow professionals play, has left me fuming. Tiger doesn't think he is bigger than the game, it appears he thinks he is the game.
Ernie Els reacted first calling it "selfish" and that he felt sorry for the sponsor.
The sponsor, Accenture, was a previous main sponsor for Tiger. Accenture pulled the sponsorship following his "marital problems"....., now Tiger has exacted revenge by overshadowing their flagship event.
Woods is probably the greatest golfer we have ever seen, but he has lost me as an admirer and a fan.....
