...show didn't mean the end of Second City's empire. The next year, it opened its training center at Second City in Chicago, where its principles of improv technique were formalized and taught. (While all actors are chosen only after a rigorous audition, most of the troupe's younger stars are products of the training center; Steve Carell, Rachel Dratch, Chris Farley and Fey are all former students.)

The answer, unfortunately for Tiger, is yes. Having chosen to live a public life, Tiger knows full well that his profession will televise his weekly tournaments, and that commercials, logos, and billboards will print his face all over the world.
