"Tiger a control freak who loves to take risks"

I'm not sure that's the headline I would have scripted for Doug Ferguson's latest overview of the Tiger saga, though he does slip in a few "control-freak" type anecdotes:

Years ago, after the first wave of “Tigermania,” Woods worked out a deal with the PGA Tour requiring him to appear for a pre-tournament interview at the media center only where he was the defending champion. One year at Memorial, the tour erected a podium alongside the putting green to accommodate the media crush that follows Woods everywhere, inconveniencing all the other pros nearby working on their game. The media center was no more than 50 yards away. No one from the tour challenged Woods.

When CBS Sports placed a camera on the tee box at the same tournament to analyze players’ swings, Woods had his caddie place the bag in front of it. He was working on his swing and preferred to do it without unsolicited advice.
