(Reuters) - Tiger Woods' Masters' triumph last month was an epic comeback for the former world number one after an 11-year major title drought, but it is Donald Trump who may better symbolize the U.S. golf industry's improving fortunes after a long lean spell.
While Woods' comeback has rekindled hopes of broadening the sport's appeal dashed by his past struggles on and off the course, the swelling ranks of older players, led by Trump's generation of baby boomers, are right now the main source of the industry's cautious optimism.
