Now he is signing autographs and making nice. It's just an act Folks just an act.

I think you are right. In my opinion, I think the media is effectively extorting Tiger to open himself up to the public and, if he doesn't, then they simply will not forgive him for his past actions and continue to take him to task (therby undermining his marketing value going forward).

I personally think Tiger will get very frustrated and will eventually pull back to his old self -- ingoring the fans for the most part and keeping to himself. It's unfair really....but nobody ever said life was fair, and nobody is going to feel sorry for the guy.

This is what I got out of the post round interview on the back of the 18th. Do I think Tiger possibly wants to do at least a little bit, yeah. But from even just how the interviewer was asking his questions, and how he at the end was hammering the "work in progress" line. I guess I might be one of the few who didn't exactly expect his temper to disapear instantly and forever? :P I think I'd agree that he might kind of shy back a little bit, but what would prove more of a point possibly is to still open up to fans, be more arnie-like, but blow off the media since as you said minds are made up anyway :P

Certainly one of the best Masters in my memory. No one really choked and gave it away, Phil earned it with sometimes steady pars and other times unworldly eagles and birdies. Westwood impressed everyone, and Choi was workman like and steady as a rock. KJ's pulled approach on 13 changed the tournament almost as much as Phil's play on 12 through 15, One has to wonder if he had cut the shot in and had an eagle putt if he might have gone on to win it. Tiger was struggling and a bit out of control with his swing at times. Couples (what would he have done if he could putt really well) was an inspiration and Watson was impressive as always. AK got hot and added a lot of excitement at the end. It was a great tournament and a nice win for Phil and his family.

The course was set up a bit differently, with many accessible pin locations, longer grass on the fringes to stop balls from rolling in the water, and I don't think the greens ever got to 13 on the stimp (but I don't know that.) That seemed to combine with exceptional shot-making to return the roars to Augusta... and that is what this tournament has always been so very well know for. I was happy to see holes set up shorter and longer for variety and that the tournament did not seem to mind a 16 under par winning score.

This will go down as one of my favorites.
