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.
