Tiger Woods' golf comeback wasn't as triumphant as he'd hoped. While he finished fourth at the Masters and wowed commentators with flashes of his pre-scandal brilliance, tabloid-style dramas were never far away — an alleged ex-mistress was stripping in a green jersey at a nearby gentlemen's club, a new Nike ad had reviewers retching, and a Cessna flew over the golf course towing taunting banners. Amidst all the adversity, did Woods pull out a PR victory?
What didn't kill Woods made him stronger: Tiger's "five months of awfulness" have left him "diminished in some ways," says Bill Elliott in The Guardian. But not on the golf course. Yes, his marriage is still "anchored somewhere between hell and a divorce court," but "Woods is back in control" on the links.
