But by some respects, he'll only become a bigger attraction. Tiger's on the cover of People. He's now moving up in the Jon and Kate-Brad and Angelina celebrity solar system. You know what happens next: an appearance on Oprah with his wife Elin, national contrition. And even bigger ratings at his next tournament. Unless, of course, Mrs. Woods throws...

True, a few stars transcend their sports and a regional base. Babe Ruth, Pelé and Michael Jordan did so, and today I'd put David Beckham, Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods in the same category-but very few others manage that trick...
