Privacy hurting Tiger's course design plans

From The New York Times Magazine Image issues are affecting a course designed by Tiger Woods. Woods, of course, did not cause the recession that has slowed the project. But the scandal that forced him off golf courses and into hiding did not help promote the high-end community, where his course is the main draw. The intense scrutiny of Woods, and his desire for privacy, may also make it difficult for him to play a major role in promoting the course once it is finished, particularly if he struggles to regain his top-ranked form as a player.

The PGA Tour, CBS, Augusta National, everyone associated with the Masters is breathing a huge sigh of relief that Woods is returning for the year's first major. But Woods's return may be the worst possible thing for the PGA Tour in the long run. Certainly, hundreds of golfers can thank Tiger for driving up purses and making sure that even the relatively mediocre are living quite comfortably.
