Now Woods wobbles similar to a dry giant. Chandler sees a man who has lost the apply oneself of his peers, who has let down his fans and who could justifiably be charged with bringing the diversion in to disrepute.

Chandler is the head of International Sports Management, the group that looks after clients similar to Ernie Els, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy, Andrew Flintoff and Michael Vaughan. Chandler is a bear of a man and there are days when if you cranky his trail it is most appropriate not to have any remarkable movements.

Before his brave Chandler used to see a bit similar to Tony Soprano, but the new facial hair has since him a see of cuddly gravitas. Not that you ever unsuccessful to take Chandler seriously. He has prolonged been one of the some-more clear voices in golf.

There is most about Tiger Woods"s Hattiesburg Address of that Chandler approves. He didn"t see how Tiger could have invited the press in, he favourite Tiger"s changes of pace, he thought the debate was morally created and ably delivered. But Chandler additionally winced at dual blunders.

Chandler says: "Why did he have a go at the media and since did he move up his charity? I"d have left those dual pieces out. He should only have been contemptible and laid out what he"s you do and what he"s going to do.

"The some-more he says he doesn"t wish his mother and child photographed, the some-more they"re going try to do it. I don"t get it. In the universe the Beckhams are as high form and they control ideally well.

"They fool around the game, they do what"s necessary. They"ll verbalise to the press, give a sketch when it"s there and the rest of the time they"re left alone. But by putting up the separator all you do is entice in the helicopter and all the rest of it.

"It additionally wasn"t the right time to contend how most he had finished for the Foundation. If you"ve helped a million kids and afterwards incited out to be what he"s incited out to be, a million kids get influenced by it.

Suddenly their hero"s not utterly their hero. My son said: "Tiger Woods is on." How do I insist to him what"s happened?" Chandler won"t criticize Woods"s agents panning the press or personification the gift label since he can"t be certain how most comes from Tiger and how most from his advisers.

But he is deeply unimpressed with the control of the PGA Tour and he is sardonic about Tiger"s poise in new years.

"How the PGA Tour authorised Tiger to do this in the center of the sixth greatest contest of the year defies belief. On Wednesday there were 64 players who got asked about Tiger Woods.

"The PGA Tour think they have to solicit to Tiger since their ratings rely on him. Ours don"t. The Open at St Andrews competence have 5,000 less fans examination if Tiger isn"t there, but not most less. St Andrews is a bit bigger than Tiger Woods.

"Tiger gives not an horrible lot back. Playing at 6 o"clock in the sunrise isn"t witness friendly. If you"re as great as him spectators should have an event of saying you.

"He doesn"t give you guys in the press an horrible lot. He doesn"t give the TV interviewer an horrible lot. He doesn"t pointer most autographs. He lives in his own small world.

"You would never see Nicklaus or Palmer practising at the British Open at 6 in the morning. You would see them personification at eleven o"clock may be with dual immature British lads, positively not perplexing to equivocate anybody."

Chandler hovers over the issue of either Woods should be charged with bringing the diversion in to disrepute. And whilst we"re at it, since doesn"t the players" house additionally assign Tim Finchem, the government official of the PGA Tour. Sanctioning the Woods matter in the center of the Accenture Match Play certainly brought the diversion in to disrepute.

Chandler hovers and moves on. He reckons the universe is becoming opposite fast. He thinks that Woods will be pelted with peanuts from the bleachers when he returns, that it will right away be "touch and go" over either he beats Jack"s jot down of eighteen majors and there will be a new No1 in five years.

He says: "Over here the crowds are opposite to Europe. There"s a enlightenment where they"ll have a couple of beers and Tiger competence finish up with utterly a lot of abuse. Imagine him in New York. By twelve o"clock they"ve got 3 or 4 Bud lights on house and they"re a shrill New York crowd. He"s going to feel that.

"I don"t think Tiger will be No1 in five years. I think it will be one of the immature kids. It could be Rory, it could be Kaymer, this Michael Sim is really good, for an eighteen year-old Ryo Ishikawa is ridiculous. He"s forward of Rory. If you ask Rory who his favourite is, it"s Ishikawa. How"s that? He says he"s the coolest golfer in the world.

He says: "How"s my favourite doing?"" Once on a time twelve months ago Tiger Woods was Rory"s hero. Now it"s a teen from Japan with sticky-up air. When Tiger Woods crashed in to that glow hydrant he slanted the universe on the axis. Goodbye world. Golf will never be the same again.
