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.

Is Woods's return bad for the PGA Tour?

Hogan showed the best can achieve greatness after absence

From The New York Times Magazine: If Tiger Woods wins the Masters in his return to professional golf, he will have matched a feat seen just once before. To return from such a long layoff and win a major championship would prove that Woods actually can turn his game on and off at will. Both Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer said they could not imagine being away from the tour for so long and winning a major. But one golf great has done so before.
