Tiger Woods is Back in Game, But How's His Image?

Tiger Woods was impressive in his first comeback since the bombshell scandal of his extramarital affairs hit the headlines.

Woods surpassed the expectations of most professional golf analysts, finishing in fourth place at the Masters after a long five month lay off from the game.

Two public relations experts joined us on PIX11 News this morning to discuss if Tiger was as successful in rehabilitating his battered public image as he was with his golf strokes.

Both agree that Woods' reputation is finally moving in the right direction. They say for an entire week the world has been focusing on Tiger's golf skills instead of his off course conduct.

They say the crowds at the tightly controlled Augusta National Golf Club greeted him warmly. That might not be entirely the same when Tiger returns to other tournaments in the future which are not as tightly controlled and can be a bit rowdier than The Masters.

At least one public relations expert this years Masters Champion, Phil Mickelson, stood out as the anti-Tiger with his heartwarming embrace of his wife on the 18th green after winning the tournament.

Mickelson's wife Amy is battling breast cancer and forced her self to get out of bed to be with for her husband in his proud moment.
