Most surviving families, however, felt differently, not quite able to see the new dimension their relatives had vanished into. "We are going through a tough time," said a relative of Yvonne McCurdy-Hill, a 39-year-old Cincinnati woman who left her five children (the youngest of whom were infant twins) to join the cult last August. "It's not the closure we wanted," said Alice Maeder, whose daughter Gail, 28, started following the cult in 1994 after her Santa Cruz, California, T-shirt shop failed, "but now we know where she is."

Since then, Woods has won three consecutive U.S. Amateurs, three of the PGA tournaments he entered after turning pro last August and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED's Sportsman of the Year award, as well as a five-year, $40 million endorsement deal with Nike. Even before Bay Hill, Woods made news this year with a triumphant swing through his mother's native Thailand, an awe-inspiring victory at the Mercedes Championships and a rare show of petulance after an inconsiderate photographer disturbed his concentration. The snit was perfectly understandable given his age and the demands newly placed on him--demands that...
