Comments on the clue
1.Concise, but 1. split not well hidden, 2. "player" for T Woods too general, 3. "develop" and "form" too closely related for DD
2.Concise clue, but three of the four definitions are tough.
3.Admirably succinct, but "player" is hopelessly vague as a def. of TIGER
4."Player" does not seem specific enough.
