...there any takeaways from the Yugo story? What do you expect when the Tata Nano hits the U.S. next year? I'm not bashing Tata; I hope a little car like that goes. But the Nano does have many similarities. One is that they are creating premarket press - it's everywhere. They are creating the preconditions for a mania, and I don't think you should do that - it's not a pair of jeans or an album.

But at Augusta, Tiger can largely ignore such extracurricular activities...
Plus, Augusta fans will treat Tiger like a cub. "The galleries are kinder there and more knowledgeable," says Jenkins. "He's not going to get as many catcalls or whatever you are going to get when you go somewhere else." But he should expect the occasional barb. Even on the (cue the maudlin CBS music and the soothing voice of announcer Jim Nantz) "hallowed grounds of Augusta National, where the azaleas leave galleries breathless at Amen Corner," some clown won't be able to resist.
