For Tiger Woods, the Love Is as Big as Ever

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — The crowds following Tiger Woods on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park this week looked more like a marauding army than a gathering of golf fans on a pleasant day. They trampled everything in their path and went under and over ropes designed to prevent them from doing exactly that. One fan even broke a fence trying to get a better view of Woods over the swarming masses.

To be fair, in the grouping with Woods at the P.G.A. Championship on Thursday and Friday were Brooks Koepka and Francesco Molinari, who have sizable fan bases of their own.
