ATLANTA — For years after Tiger Woods exploded into the sporting consciousness, he was idolized for one thing: Winning. Glorious, emphatic winning.It was a 12-stroke win in 1997 at the Masters that announced his arrival as a phenomenon unlike anyone golf had seen before.
It was the legendary 2008 US Open when he fought through a broken leg to win a dramatic tournament that seemed to prove him immune to vulnerability. All through the years in between, his willful yet easy-looking dominance carried his game to new heights of public enthusiasm, the sight of a charming, unmatchable demigod inspiring millions of ordinary Americans to hit the links.He was too human to be true.Then came a 2:30 a.m. car crash in November 2009, and every bit of that fell apart after lurid tales of his infidelity became public, ending in a high-profile divorce.

He apparently wasn't drunk – a breathalyzer test turned up completely negative, Sheriff John Budensiek told reporters. He declined to take a urinalysis and was arrested and charged with that refusal, as well as for driving under the influence and property destruction.That's how, last night, the best golfer most of us have ever seen slinked out of a Florida jail shortly before midnight and headed off into an uncertain future.Hope after hope, dashedThe main narrative around Woods over the last several weeks was simple: Would he return to his old stomping grounds of Augusta National Golf Club for next month's Masters?
