This Tiger soap opera has become big turn-off

Somewhere on the road to everlasting fame, the Tiger Woods saga morphed into a soap opera.

The latest episode unfolded in almost comical fashion on the last practice day before the 96th US PGA Championship, with American Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson announcing to a crowded press conference that “Tiger’s not on site yet”.

Woods, in fact, had arrived at Valhalla Golf Club and would later declare himself fit to play.
