The Art of Golf
In a landmark case, the golfer Tiger Woods took Alabama-based artist Rick Rush to court for painting a picture of him in action at the Master’s tournament in Augusta in 1997. Eldrick Tiger Woods Corporation alleged copyright violation, arguing that it had exclusive rights to the Tiger’s name, likeness and signature.
In 2000, a district judge ruled in Rush’s favour, and street cartoonists everywhere breathed a sigh of relief. The decision was later upheld by the US Court of Appeals.
