Woods sets high expectations in motion

&to=http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/95/381/10995_sport.html' target=_blank>Tiger Woods stepped into the chill of the evening and headed to the airport for a 20-hour flight to Dubai, with plenty of time to wonder where his latest victory will take him over the rest of the year.

Expectations figure to be greater than ever.

Woods once said the public tends to exaggerate the state of his game, perhaps because he can make it look easy. Win one tournament and people say he's unbeatable. Go a month without winning and he's in a slump.

"I've been out here long enough to have seen both ends of the spectrums," Woods said of the expectations. "They're always high. They've seen what I can do, and they think I can hit some shots. It's awfully nice that they think I can do that."

But his track record suggests another big year could be in the making.
