AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods moved through the crowd and you knew who it was because you couldn't see him. Only Woods can be the most recognizable person at Augusta National even when he's invisible.
You could see only the top of his cap and his convoy of handlers as he moved toward the practice putting green, and if you were one of the many people 10 deep around the first tee, you may have seen only an elbow or a swath of his azalea-red shirt as he struck his first major-championship shot in 17 months.
If you wanted to walk with Tom Hoge or Erik van Rooyen, you could stand within a foot of them on the 10th tee box, look at a yardage book as their caddie offered advice and even, as one fan did, ask Hoge and his caddie random questions.
