MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former world number one Greg Norman has said he feels sorry for Tiger Woods' position as a fallen idol but believes the American's travails showed even the greatest individuals would have their "weaknesses" exposed.

In an interview published by News Ltd media, Norman also said golf needed to do more in the anti-doping fight and expressed doubt that the game's re-introduction at next year's Rio Olympics might do much for the sport.
