Golfer Tiger Woods could have some reason to celebrate after a recent survey found his approval rating rising from an all-time low last December in the run-up to next month’s Augusta Masters tournament.
According to the survey of 1030 adults conducted by Opinion Research Corporation from March 19 to 21, 43% of those polled have a favourable opinion of Woods, while 45% don’t have such an opinion.
In December last year, Woods approval rating was a low 34%.
Of those polled most recently, 59% want to see him win the Masters, while 20% are rooting against him. 52% actually expect him to win, while 42% say he won't.
Since Woods' TV interviews were shown late on March 21, it can be assumed that the survey results were collected before the broadcasts aired.
