Tiger Woods makes apology for his sex scandals at the headquarters of the U.S. Professional Golfer ' Association of America (PGA) Tour in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Kind of hard to swagger down the fairway and say you're sorry at the same time.

Unfortunately for Woods, it's a new game. He will tee it up on No 1 the Thursday of the Masters with more questions swirling about him than the first time he played there as an amateur 14 years ago.

At least then we knew the answers. The kid was good and there was something about him that screamed greatness.

The aura grew over the years, as did the collection of green jackets. Now it's shattered for good.

The Woods we once knew seemed to enjoy sending his opponents broken and trembling to the scrap heap almost as much as he enjoyed picking up the winner's cheque.

The Woods we know now - wait! We still don't know who he is, do we?

"We have all put him up on such a pedestal, not only in the golf, but we took for granted the personal side, too," golf's No 2 player Steve Stricker said on Wednesday. "We'll have to wait and see what the golf brings when he comes back. This may fire him up even more and make him even stronger."

Hard to imagine that. The first glare may come not when he runs in a long putt to get into contention but when someone screams out the name of mistress No 5 in his backswing.

Who is going to fear a guy who spent the past two months confessing every failing of his life to a group of strangers?
