Tiger’s shot at salvation

WAS it just an illusion or did it used to be on the golf course that time stood still while the rest of life rushed headlong towards the lunatic asylum?

This past year in the life of Tiger Woods would suggest that the madness has followed the world number one out the front door of his Florida mansion and on to the first tee.

No victories, no swing coach for the best part of six months and some of the worst golf since he first came on tour at the end of 1996, Woods has gone through a very public humiliation and divorce as a result of his private indiscretions and his golf has paid the price.
