Tiger Woods has been in the hearts of golf fans for more than just one reason. His 15 major championship victories might be a huge pedestal for many. But, it is only a small portion of the golf legend’s successful career. However, other than his skills on the course, fans also adore the man for his golden heart. And adding to his random acts of kindness, Woods makes another huge contribution toward making golf a more accessible sport for aspiring players.

What did Tiger Woods do to help make golf more accessible?

Woods, 47, might not be in the best state to compete in professional tournaments as of now. But his unforgettable tournament finishes and memorable victories are proof enough to understand his passion for the sport. Not only does the golfer practice day and night to work on his game but is also putting in countless efforts to help other aspiring players to achieve their golfing dreams.

However, despite not having tasted success in a long time, Woods is still working towards helping the rising stars in the sport. As per Golf.com, the golf legend recently made a humble donation towards a special cause, and eventually to make the game more accessible! Being part of a fundraising drive, Woods and some other private donors came forward to bucket in $55 million in total. Sources suggest that this money is going to be used for covering project costs while building the reimagined municipal-golf facility in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Opening soon!” Although the amount that Woods chipped in was not made public, it is safe to assume that the golfer probably donated a huge bag of money towards such a noble cause.
