TIGER IS FEELING UNDER PAR ; Sick Woods sacks guru
[Hughes Norton], powerful and hard to ignore, was regarded as the sharpest in the cut-throat world of agents. The 50-year-old American graduated from Harvard Business School to control the destiny of [TIGER WOODS], visiting the family home in California when Tiger was a 14- year-old prodigy. By the time Woods had won his third US Amateur title in August 1996, Norton had engineered five-year deals with giants like Nike and Titleist worth pounds 50m. Woods senior added: \"For Hughes the dollar is almighty. For Tiger money is not important. And Hughes under-estimated Tiger's personal growth and his grasp on deals.\"

Golf: Tiger bites off the hand that fed him David Davies on why the world No.1 has turned on the man who made him a fortune
The world No. 1 will honour the contract he signed recently to remain with the International Management Group until 2004 but Hughes Norton, the senior vice-president who was personally responsible for doing Woods' deals, has been moved sideways. Alistair Johnston, head of IMG's golf division, said: \"We are in transitional mode with respect to the executive team assigned to Tiger.\" Earl Woods, Tiger's father, was more direct. \"The decision came down to a fundamental difference. For Hughes, the dollar is almighty. For Tiger, money is not that important.\" He added: \"Hughes underestimated Tiger's personal growth and his grasp of his own business. The bottom line is that this is about the maturation of a young player. When Tiger turned pro, decisions were made for him in what I felt were his best interests. Now he is structuring his life the way he wants it. He has made a well- considered decision. I won't second-guess my son. He lost faith in the direction Norton wanted to take him.\"

SportsDay
Even if Jesper Parnevik wins the Greater Milwaukee Open, SportsDay predicts it will not spark any kind of fad in which cap wearers everywhere flip up the bills of their caps and boldly stride the promenade. [SportsDay] observes that Parnevik's style is not new at all. Two examples. Huntz Hall, who played one of the Bowery Boys in those popular \"second features\" in the 1940s and '50s, wore his cap that way. But Hall was a comedian, aiming to look goofy. So was Max Patkin, baseball's clown prince, who turned the bill to the side. Time has been unkind to the flipped-up bill on the cap. It's a fashion that never caught on, dorky then and dorky today.
