Woods won't receive Congressional Gold Medal
Dec. 9, 2009 - 6:00 PM ET

Congress has decided not to pursue awarding Tiger Woods with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award it can confer to a civilian.

California Representative, Joe Baca, was riding this bill alone. In a statement, the Democrat said, "In light of the recent developments surrounding Tiger Woods and his family, I will not pursue legislation awarding him the Congressional Gold Medal this session." Arnold Palmer was a recipient of the same award in September. Baca authored Palmer's bill as well.
