World Press Critical of Woods' Return

Printer-friendly version

Tiger Woods' planned return to golf at the Masters has drawn plenty of criticism from the international press, and the most scathing comments have come from Britain.

Daily Mirror columnist Oliver Holt questions the top-ranked golfer's reasons for coming back to play at Augusta National.

He wrote: "How typical of the man to hijack the world's most famous golf tournament. How could he turn Augusta into a circus
like this? Does his vanity know no limits?"

Woods drove his SUV into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home in November, an accident that set off sordid tales of extramarital affairs. Woods announced Dec. 11 that he would take an indefinite break from golf, then made a public apology on Feb. 19.
