Congressman in California drops effort to honor Tiger Woods

WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. congressman is dropping his effort to honor Tiger Woods with a Congressional Gold Medal.
California Representative Joe Baca proposed legislation in March that called for Woods to be recognized for promoting good sportsmanship and breaking down barriers in golf.

Baca said in a statement on Wednesday that "in light of the recent developments surrounding Tiger Woods and his family," he won't pursue legislation during this session to give him the award.
