As traumatised Tiger Woods takes an indefinite break from the game, don't be surprised if paparazzi photographers come up with an image like this
As traumatised Tiger Woods takes an indefinite break from the game, don't be surprised if paparazzi photographers come up with an image like this Tiger Woods' decision to take what he called "an indefinite break" to repair his marriage was greeted with surprise, bemusement and even relief as golfers, fans and commentators contemplated the immediate future of a sport without its biggest draw.
What's inside this bag?
Some pretty basic stuff really, we guess:
>>Dictaphone to record all confessions
>>Pack of tissues to wipe the tears
>>Book on how to stay loyal to a wife
>>An instructional video on basic golf
>>A list of dos and don'ts in public life
>>A map to show him where not to go
>>A strip of sedatives
Annika Sorenstam lamented a family tragedy and Colin Montgomerie noted dryly that golf's big prizes just became a little more accessible to those unable to touch the heights regularly reached by Woods.
"There was an aura and that wall, if you like, has been split slightly," said Montgomerie, Europe's 2010 Ryder Cup captain. "There are cracks and I feel that it gives us more opportunity of winning these big events now."u00a0
"Indefinite is a scary word," former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy said. "That's not good for us. But I'm sure he'll get it worked out."
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport featured a cartoon showing a golf bag containing six bare female legs in high heels and two clubs. German tabloid Bild continued to print salacious details of the scandal, but added on its website that it hoped "Tiger is as successful as on the golf course" as he tries to repair his marriage.
