Tiger Woods' allergy to garlic sees it banned from Ryder Cup

Washington - Ace golfer Tiger Woods is allergic to garlic, and that is the reason behind the pungent herb being banned from the Ryder Cup.
 
The American had to miss two tournaments in 2003 when his then wife Elin Nordegren made a pasta dish with garlic.
 
Taking Woods' allergy into account, strict orders were delivered to a steakhouse the American team visited that garlic was strictly off limits.
 
The same instructions were given to the hosts of the gala dinner at Rosemont's Rosewood Restaurant.
 
"Nobody was served garlic. Easier that way," the Daily Mirror quoted restaurant owner Jimmy Mandas, as saying.
