From ski masks to surgeries, glutes to gravy, this was indeed a very strange year for Tiger Woods.
At least for the time being, Woods’ spot on this annual list of newsmakers appears etched in stone. No other player can create as many headlines or garner such attention, even without the meaningful on-course performance to match.
Woods put that maxim to the test this year, one in which he was barely relevant inside the ropes but remained one of the game’s most-discussed figures.
Never before have we seen a season for Woods which began with such promise fall apart so quickly.
