How much has Tiger's first Masters win influenced the sport?

Halfway around the world in Dubai, Tiger Woods seemed a bit sheepish about his encounter with British golfer Marcus Armitage.

The European Tour player was warming up on the driving range when Woods took the spot next to him at Emirates Golf Club. After some time passed -- and perhaps after summoning up the courage -- Armitage introduced himself, then ended up getting Woods to autograph a few times as well as stand for a photo. It was one of a growing number of exchanges with players who can be moved to act giddy in his presence.
