1. ''HE HAD SHARPIE ALL OVER HIM.'' It's hard to remember now the special frenzy at the beginning, when all the dreams that were projected onto Tiger Woods seemed part of his genius for the game. It was as if there were no divide between the things he could do and the fantasies he could elicit. He was a confluence of races with a sovereign smile and a killer name, and he arrived as if he had been born not just to win golf tournaments and out-earn everyone except Oprah on the Forbes list of highest-paid celebrities, but also to redeem the racist history of his sport and cure a thousand other ills as well. Over the top with pride, his father, Earl, was quoted calling him ''the Chosen One'' and prophesying that Tiger would ''do more than any other man in history to change the course of humanity.''
