...right that public fascination with Tiger will be even more intense the next time he steps on the golf course or appears on Oprah. (Which won't happen until those "lacerations" fully heal.) It will be a ratings bonanza. But he'll never quite be what he once was. He won't be speaking at any more presidential inaugurations.

In the 1980s, when Dubai's neighbors were either hibernating behind a curtain of oil wealth or dabbling, sometimes disastrously, in Middle East politics, Sheik Mohammed began transforming oil-poor Dubai from an Arab backwater into a global city.
