Tiger certainly can set expectations for himself, but we should be able to as well. When you set expectations you decide what will be considered successful and what won't, and I think us, the fans and the media, should choose what when we think Tiger succeeds or fails. Tiger can do that to, but the media should do it independent of what he thinks. Sorry, maybe I should have been clearer.
