The Masters has provided the perfect ending to the Tiger Woods saga.
Millions of people tuned in to see if Tiger could rise above his personal challenges. In fact, it was the highest-rated Masters since 1991, and one of the most watched Thursday’s ever. Tiger was in contention, which kept people watching into the weekend. And then the golf on Saturday and Sunday was some of the best we have seen in a long time.

I have seen the future of golf in India, and it scares the heck out of me.
I saw it in the form of a horror story called "Going Greens: India's Golf Boom" that was published in February by Global Post. You should read it for yourself. Do it in a clean, well-ventilated place.

Thank you Tiger for your apology. Now, hopefully, we can move on.
When we did our first version of the Most Powerful People in Golf in 1999, we ranked Tiger Woods third, based on the promise of what he could accomplish. Tiger was young, and promised to bring in a legion of new followers to the game – people who were younger and more diverse. Unlike any other player at that age, he started a foundation to promote the game and he seemed committed to serving others in this capacity.
In times of economic depression, recession, cessation, concession or just plain messin' up by the Wall Street greed-mongers or our governmental regulators who would mistake a Midwest funnel cloud for a gold-bearing rainbow, it may not be fair to judge golf's annual 1-2 punch of industry gatherings.
