Last month, the president awarded Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The ceremony took place in the White House Rose Garden, a couple of weeks after Woods’s desperately prayed-for win at the Masters golf tournament.
It was a serene afternoon, but people carped, anyway — about Woods’s age (43 isn’t old enough), about his currency (Hello? He’s still playing), about the ethics of it all (He’s in business with the president), about his sense of morality (Tiger, why this White House occupant?). He and the president wore similar blue suits.
