AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tired of Tiger?
Becoming weary when golf’s greatest player says something about making amends only to have a former “acquaintance” force him to amend his story?
Well, buckle up. There is no rest in sight, not with live television coverage scheduled for Tiger Woods’ first swing today at the Masters at roughly 1:42 p.m.
He is the story of today, no doubt. He shoots a 64, he leads newscasts around the country. He shoots 84, he may lead newscasts around the world. Even if he shoots par, he’ll be the top sports story everywhere.
The undeniable interest here in Woods the golfer is balanced by the complexities of his situation. It was highlighted Wednesday, when Augusta National chairman Billy Payne spoke directly about Tiger’s fall from grace in his annual state of the tournament address.
