Back in the days when Tiger Woods had only to answer questions about his golf game there was no place where he looked more at home than St Andrews.
The world number one still loves it as the start of the Open Championship on Thursday fast approaches, but this time things are different. He is different.
For a start he has a new putter, having decided to ditch the one that has won him 13 of his 14 majors, including the last two Opens at the Home of Golf by eight and five shots.
The three-time Open champion - he also won at Hoylake in 2006 - is hoping that his first switch of putters for 11 years can bring him his first victory of the season.
But whether he plays well or not, Woods is expecting the crowd reaction to be the same. He was fearful of how he might be treated on his return from his sex scandal at The Masters, but stated: "Most of the people have been fantastic.
"The places that I've played and the people that have come up to me have been great. Most of the people have been so respectful over the years here and I wouldn't see anything different."
