WOODS HISTORIC PERFORMANCE LEADS TO QUESTIONS ON HIS FUTURE

     TIGER WOODS won an unprecedented third consecutive U.S.
Amateur Championship, in what Larry Dorman of the N.Y. TIMES
characterized as "a comeback as dramatic as any in the annals of
golf."  Dorman notes "all that remains now is a decision on
whether" to turn pro (N.Y. TIMES, 8/26).  Woods: "I will know
better next week what's going on" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 8/26).  On
ESPN, Dick Schaap called Woods "the most mature 20 year old to
ever step on a golf course and maybe on any sporting field"
(ESPN, 8/25).  CNN's Jaime Diaz said there is a "good
possibility" Woods could turn pro as "early as this week's
Greater Milwaukee Open" ("Pro Golf Weekly," CNN, 8/25).  In
Boston,  Will McDonough notes Tiger's father, Earl, works for
IMG: "Guess who is going to represent Tiger?" (BOSTON GLOBE,
8/24).
