The transgressions of Tiger Woods have proved too much to take for one of the golf superstar's most fanatical fans, who is now disbanding a church set up in praise of the sports icon.
John Ziegler, the pastor of the
First Church of Tiger Woods, has announced in a statement on the blog that
the organization is being dissolved because of the golfer's "personal sins".
The church, whose home page has now been renamed The Damnation of Tiger Woods, was launched by radio host Ziegler in 1996 to "celebrate the emergence of the 'true messiah'".
However, the lurid revelations that have swirled around Woods since last week have left Ziegler so disenchanted that he is now ending his church, which has its own Prayer for Tiger and Ten Tiger Commandments.
