When you think of golf, the first thing that comes to mind is the sport's No 1, Tiger Woods. He is virtually the face of the sport.
He has had hurdles in his career, from his father dying to suffering from a knee injury which ended one campaign. None of that stopped him playing until claims that he was having an affair began to appear last November.
All it took was a car crash to blow the matter wide open, with numerous women later claiming to have had relationships with Woods. The media has paid a lot of attention to the matter. Woods is currently on a 'break' from golf to mend his relationship with his wife and family.
Woods is now in therapy and has since admitted to his infidelity publicly, apologising earlier this month for the damage he had caused.
He has said that he plans to return to the game, but gave no details - so the sport which he symbolises no longer has him.
Golf could manage itself without Woods - he is not the only good golfer around. There is the potential for young blood to succeed in his footsteps and even surpass him.
