Tiger Woods wants to be remembered for more than just golf
Golf star Tiger Woods says he wants to be remembered for his contribution to helping the world far more than his fame as a golf star.
Tiger Woods, 31, has claimed nearly every possible major honour in golf, but he would prefer to be known for what he has done to help children.
Tiger Woods said: "As far as my tombstone is concerned, hopefully it will read more of what I am trying to do for kids," he said. That would be so much more ultimate than winning any golf tournament."
Just after becoming a professional golfer in 1996, Tiger Woods created the Tiger Woods Foundation with his late father Earl Woods, and from this came the first Tiger Woods Learning Centre, where children are taught life skills.
Since the first Tiger Woods Learning Centre opened in Anaheim, California in February 2006, it has had more than 16,000 students.
Tiger Woods is planning a second centre in Washington DC within the next five years and he says that it is the reaction he gets from the children who attend the centres, rather than his golf success that gives him contentment and achievement in life.
