The pressure on Tiger Woods is mounting, and it has nothing to do with golf: It's the pressure to blacken up -- to be a social activist, a racial spokesman. Throughout his young career, Woods has resisted this, standing on individualism, and universalism. But it would be hard for even the strongest person not to crack.

Right from the start, Woods was a breath of fresh air, not least "socially."

The actual answer was, "No. I have an obligation to all kids."
