Golf goddesses and sexist imagery

Tiger Woods knows a thing or two about Chinese golfing etiquette, or the lack thereof. As the since-disgraced former world No 1 fluffed his shots around Shanghai's Sheshan International Golf Club last year, the endless camera-phone flashes must have seemed like a personal blitzkrieg on his senses.

In two attempts at the Shanghai-hosted World Golf Championship-HSBC Champions, Woods has finished joint sixth. Before it became a WGC-sanctioned event in 2009, he finished runner-up twice, but he just could not get his head around those over-zealous photo-hungry fans.

But then again, as one of his minders whispered to me after one particularly poor tee shot last year, when Woods went from looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights to looking like Mike Tyson during a domestic dispute, "Tiger is very sensitive to light".
