Weekend Reading: Tiger Woods “In the Rough” Edition

With the world obsessed over Tiger’s dilemma and the media frenzy that ensued, it’s just a reminder that even the best in the world can be brought down by bad behavior off the job.  The latest is that Tiger’s taking a “hiatus” from golf.  Meanwhile, US equities surpassed 2009 highs this week, Copenhagen continued unabated […]
