A Smidget Into The Life Of Dr. No

Superagent Mark Steinberg Brings Money In, Keeps Distractions Out

Dr. No said yes.

Mark Steinberg, superagent, who earned his press-tent nickname by routinely telling reporters no, said he would call at 3 p.m., and here he was, right on time.

People in the golf business will tell you that Tiger's "Steiny" is effective at his job, relentless and hardworking. He has become, by virtue of his relationship with Woods, one of the most powerful people in the game. Since leaving IMG and joining Excel Sports Management five years ago, he has signed Matt Kuchar and Justin Rose, two of the game's gents, and young Justin Thomas, who was being courted by the world. "My wife was a little apprehensive about it at first," Kuchar told me about his move to Excel. Sybi Kuchar knew all about Steinberg's take-no-prisoners reputation. "But he has completely won her over."
