ANALYSIS: How Tiger Woods became golf's biggest star

A black man in the whitest of white sports — Tiger tore golf apart.

Earl was a single-digit handicap golfer who introduced Tiger to the game when he was just two through his membership of a Navy golf course near the family's home in California.By the age of five he'd appeared in Golf Digest and thereafter won the World Junior Championship six times. "So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it. Or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve."This at the Augusta club that had only admitted its first black member seven years earlier.

That he has chosen to embrace his multi-ethnic background, describing himself as "Cablinasian" — a mixture of Caucasian, black, Native American and Asian, has caused disquiet amongst many African Americans. You couldn't script it and if Nike had ever wanted a better showcase for its famous Swish, it's hard to imagine what it would look like.

Then, in 2009, the National Enquirer published a story claiming Woods had had an extramarital affair.
