Tiger Woods is still the center of golf world

like it or not, if Woods never wins again, he's among the best who ever swung a golf club.
Now that the soap opera between golfer Tiger Woods and his ex-caddie Steve Williams seems to be over, perhaps the golf world can concentrate on the drama at the last major of the year -- the PGA Championship that starts Thursday in Georgia.
The jilted caddie then teamed up with golfer Adam Scott who beat Woods last week at the Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.

Williams went on to describe the moment, his first win with Scott and his first since parting ways with Tiger Woods, as: "the best week of my life".
That ignited debate ahead of this week's PGA Championship about Williams stealing the limelight from Scott and 'taking a shot' at former employer Woods, with whom Williams had previously helped claim the same tournament seven times.
Williams admitted on Tuesday that he might have gone over the top when he spoke to the media immediately after Sunday's victory, but he can be excused because of the emotion that was obviously still fresh after being fired by Tiger Woods following a 12-year partnership that included 250 tournaments and more than 70 victories, including 13 of Woods's 14 majors.But there is no denying Williams played an important role in Scott's win and could be a key factor again this week if the 31-year-old Aussie finds himself in contention at the PGA Championship, the last major of the year at the Atlanta Athletic Club. So How do you think?
