Supporting this program growth are five unique fundraising events: AT&T National, Tiger Woods Invitational, Tiger Jam, Deutsche Bank Championship and World Challenge. These events bring tremendous support to the Foundation by raising funds and spreading our mission to millions. At the AT&T National, we launched the We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall, which allowed tournament spectators to send personal messages of thanks to our troops. We also created the inaugural Tiger Woods Invitational, a private golf event at Pebble Beach Golf Links, and returned to Las Vegas for Tiger Jam with rock icons John Mayer and Keith Urban. The Deutsche Bank Championship celebrated its 9th year with another fantastic Labor Day finish crowning 2011 champion Webb Simpson. Finally, we closed out an exceptional year with a big win by Tiger Woods at the World Challenge golf tournament held at Sherwood Country Club outside of Los Angeles. This Year in Review celebrates these important milestones and highlights the incredible stories of our scholars. While our programs and events enjoy the dedication of an outstanding board and staff, we share in these milestones with a diverse group of generous individuals, foundations and corporations who steadfastly support our mission. Their contributions are vital to our success, and the following pages share their perspectives on what makes the Foundation so special. We are grateful for their support and for the support of countless others. On behalf of Tiger Woods, the Board of Governors and the staff and volunteers of the Tiger Woods Foundation, thank you.

Sincerely,

gregory t. mcLAughLinPresident and CEO

this past year has been an incredible journey for the Tiger Woods Foundation. Our mission is simple - we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to attend college. Each year we provide vital resources to thousands of young people through our innovative programs and one-to-one support. 2011 was exceptional in this regard, as the total number of students reached through the flagship Tiger Woods Learning Center topped 65,000 during its fifth year of operations. The Earl Woods Scholarship Program welcomed its 60th scholar as we celebrated the graduation of our very first class. Our expansion continued throughout the summer and fall as we launched summer programming at the Learning Center campuses in Washington, D.C. and opened new campuses in Florida and Pennsylvania.

sAndrA BArryFormer Superintendent, Anaheim School District

by

My initial involvement with the Tiger Woods Learning Center (TWLC) began when I served as superintendent of a large elementary school district in Anaheim, Tiger’s hometown and the home of his 35,000-square-foot Learning Center. As I eagerly watched this state-of-the-art facility being built and its programs and services designed, I realized that something very special would be happening for kids at the TWLC. Five years later, the TWLC continues to deliver something special to kids: unique, hands-on STEM curricula, career awareness and college guidance.

The mostly low-income students, who frequent the TWLC, interact with adults who continuously strive to expand kids’ horizons by introducing them to content, careers and opportunities they never knew existed...at least not for them. For example, on a daily basis you will find students solving crimes in a forensic science lab, building robots, launching rockets, designing computer software or producing music videos. Students perform these challenging tasks and solve these complex problems at levels rarely seen before.

Classroom teachers not only are amazed at their students’ enthusiastic responses to TWLC curricula, they marvel at their outstanding performances. I, too, am in awe of the TWLC staff’s ability to bring out the best in children while fostering their optimism and self-confidence. These efforts have helped students create a new reality...a better tomorrow…for themselves and future generations.

Seven years ago the TWLC was just a dream; today it is making students’ dreams come true. So passionate am I about the Foundation and Learning Center that I continue to proudly serve on the Board of Governors, chair the Learning Center committee, serve on the Scholarship committee, mentor two Earl Woods Scholars and act as a resource to the leaders of the education and professional development programs. The TWLC is only five years old and it already has exceeded my wildest imagination. I am excited about the TWLC’s future as it promises to continue changing kids’ lives. I truly believe Anaheim has a new “happiest place on earth.”

Tiger Woods Learning Center, Anaheim, CA / 65,000 students served since January 1, 2006 / 750 teachers participated in professional development program / 500 volunteers / 24,000 golf students / 227 schools and 43 districts served through TWLC programs / 6,465 hours of programs / 600 video games created / 100 crimes solved / 1,200 rockets launched / 1,000 robots programmed / 5,500 DNA strands analyzed

tournaments across Southern California. He never thought Anaheim could support any of his desires, until the TWLC became a part of his life.

Alvaro Gonzalez started at the TWLC by attending the Saturday Golf Clinics, learning the fundamentals of putting, chipping, pitching and the full-swing with other students his age. He practiced the expectations of golf in etiquette, on-course mannerisms and application of basic golf rules. He honed his golf skills so much that he became eligible for the TWLC Player Development Program (PDP). The PDP signifies a student’s passion and dedication to the game of golf and allows three levels of progression for students who want to become competitive players.

Alvaro made his way through the PDP, becoming one of the first to pass all levels (Level-1 Tour Class, Level-2 Players Class and Level-3 Masters Class). Being part of the PDP provides privileges such as: free range balls during practice sessions at the TWLC, outings with TWLC golf professionals at prestigious courses throughout Orange County, access to special TWLC golf workshops like club-making and golf fitness, and access to professional events like the World Challenge.

Alvaro also regularly checks his swing maintenance using the My Swing app. We were so excited to have access to this technology. The app features Tiger’s actual golf swing, something all our students, including Alvaro, really enjoy watching. We use each of Tiger’s swings, filmed using every club, as the model to showcase the different length of swings and describe how the body moves and works in the swing. Alvaro is able to identify his own swing flaws, and whenever he feels out of position in his swing, he simply records his swing flaws and refers to the adjustments recommended in the app. He also loves to conduct a side-by-side comparison with Tiger’s swing whenever he is swinging well to compare crucial positions like address, impact and the finish.

In his attempt to become the best golfer he can be, Alvaro developed a new outlook on life. A sophomore at Savanna High School in Anaheim, he now has established a golf handicap of 8.0 index. He maintains a 3.3 GPA and aspires to play collegiate golf. He is driven and motivated with plans to pursue a higher education. I can honestly say that the TWLC golf program has had a direct and positive impact on Alvaro’s life.

Tiger Woods: My Swing / Named Best Sports App of 2011 by the New York Times / Ranked number 3 in all of iTunes Sports Apps / iPhone launched in March 2011 / iPad launched in September 2011 / More than 180,000 swings recorded / More than 50,000 students have participated in the TWLC golf program / 11.5 million golf balls hit to date / 25,000 golf clubs, 300 golf bags and 2,000 rounds of golf provided free of charge to participants

The golf program at the Tiger Woods Learning Center (TWLC) offers a world-class golf experience like no other. It specializes in beginning and intermediate golf, offering fundamental golf instruction at a state-of-the-art facility, along with innovative techniques in instruction involving the latest technology. We provide golf equipment to students who can’t afford their own and access to prestigious golf courses to students who can’t afford green fees. Since last year, we’ve added the Tiger Woods: My Swing app into the program. This app provides immediate, useful feedback to the fundamentals of golf like putting, chipping and the full-swing mechanics.

In general, we make golf accessible for everyone. Additionally, the TWLC’s golf program has been instrumental in helping tens of thousands of students decide on a career path, graduate from high school, pursue a higher education and get excited about learning.

I’d like to take you on a tour of our golf program from the viewpoint of one of our students. When he began playing golf as a 6th grader, he never thought he would end up on his varsity golf team or competing in golf

raymond Teens who do not participate in after-school programs are nearly three times more likely to skip class, experiment with drugs or join gangs, making after school hours extremely critical. at the TWLc, students like raymond spend important after-school hours using a flight simulator, launching rockets, designing video games and outlining a plan for college. In fact, unlike so many of their peers, 91% of TWLc students report increased confidence and optimism about their futures, making them nearly invincible to negative influences.

I’ve been coming to Tiger Jam in Las Vegas for years now. I originally came as the guest of my good friend and TWF Board Member Ron Conway. I enjoyed the event so much, and I’m now the annual host of the Tiger Jam After Party. I love participating in this with Tiger because it’s for such a good cause. Year after year, the event features some of the best musical talent around like No Doubt, Stevie Wonder, Prince and Sting. 2011 was equally awesome with fellow Grammy winners John Mayer and Keith Urban. The crowd really enjoyed it.

Prior to the show, Tiger Jam guests attend a VIP reception, with great food, a live auction and guest speakers. I always enjoy hearing Tiger and the TWF students speak about the purpose of Tiger Jam and all the great things his Foundation is doing to help get kids into college. One of the Foundation scholars spoke about how much college is changing her life in a positive way. It was great to hear, and I know Tiger is so proud of how his dad’s inspiration continues to make a difference.

My favorite part of the night is the After Party. It is a raucous, dancing good time. As host, I DJ, get the crowd fired up and of course, dance! It’s so much fun to see everyone cutting loose on the dance floor until the early hours of the morning. In all the fun, the 2011 event raised approximately $750,000 for the kids of the Foundation, and I’m so proud to support it year after year.

omAr viLLAEarl Woods Scholar, UC Santa Cruz, Class of 2011

I was looking forward to having a mentor during college. I definitely needed the guidance of an adult who had college experience since that was an area my parents were unable to offer me advice. Unlike my fellow scholars, I was going through a struggle of my own. Aside from being a college student loaded with tons of work, being a first-generation student and the culture shock I experienced, I was an undocumented student. This added an extra weight to my back. I did not have the opportunity to apply for federal aid, student loans, or even the chance to study abroad, which I really wanted to do. I come from a low-income first-generation family and my father’s paycheck was just enough to make ends meet. The Earl Woods Scholarship took those bricks off my back and enabled me to graduate from UC Santa Cruz. This scholarship program is one of the best out there.

The Tiger Woods Foundation began supporting me during the last semester of my senior year in high school. Right before submitting my intent to register at UC Santa Cruz, I received a package in the mail from the Tiger Woods Foundation congratulating me on my high school achievements, along with involvement and commitment to community service. Due to all my hard work, the scholarship committee decided to select me as one of the first Earl Woods Scholarship recipients by awarding me a scholarship toward my higher education for the next four years.

Through this scholarship I met my mentor, Mr. Todd Theodora, who has grown to be a part of my life. He accepted me, opened his home to me and gave me the opportunity to meet his family. Todd is definitely someone I will look up to as I continue on my journey, and I plan to keep in contact with him as I venture into new endeavors. One of the best things he did for me was to offer me an internship at his law firm. I enjoyed my internship there as it provided me with valuable work experience I utilize on a day-to-day basis. I had many “full circle” moments throughout my experience, as terms I learned in my classes were used during my time at Theodora Oringher PC. It was a great feeling being able to connect what I was learning in class and seeing it applied in the real world.

Two of my biggest passions are law and education. After working my way through school, I see how effective education is to my life, my family and my culture, especially since my parents never had these opportunities. I must say that I have journeyed through an amazing four years of my life. I have grown to be the individual I never expected to be; I am a consumer of knowledge, an educator and first in my family to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from a four-year institution.

As my passions moved me forward in life, I graduated and took a job as a Community Service Leader with the City of Irvine, developing and implementing after-school recreation programs and services for target populations. Now I am applying to graduate schools across the country with the goal of receiving a Masters in Higher Education Administration. Once I finish graduate school, I hope to attend law school with the support of my family, friends, the Tiger Woods Foundation and my mentor, Todd Theodora.

Quick notes

In May 2011, the Tiger Woods Learning Center (TWLC) began sharing its innovative curricula online, allowing educators and youth-serving organizations around the world to access the unique activities taking place in TWLC classrooms every day. These lessons foster student learning through a real-world, hands-on approach, something not always available in public schools.

With the TWLC online curricula, students outside our campuses may sample some of the exciting activities taking place in TWLC classrooms and discover what makes learning at the TWLC so fun. The website offers a platform for TWLC instructors to share best practices in teaching methods and the development of innovative curricula. The lessons offered virtually are based on the idea that young people learn best when they are engaged and active participants in their own learning process. TWLC lessons highlight opportunities for young people to think creatively, solve problems and collaborate with others.

A new lesson is featured each month from one of the TWLC’s signature career or college access-themed courses. All the lessons are STEM-focused and align with national educational standards.

Activities are rooted in computer science, chemistry, biology, physics, physical education and much more. Each lesson has been carefully crafted to capture what TWLC members love about the classes – activities that are fun, interactive and relevant to their lives and future careers. Lessons also feature the opportunity for students to collaborate with their peers through investigative learning methods to solve problems and learn new skills.

The feedback we’ve received since launching the TWLC lessons has been really positive. Administrators are impressed by how comprehensive they are. We are hearing they really enjoy the lessons, find value in them and are looking for ways to utilize them throughout their organizations. By sharing our lessons online, we are providing an opportunity for young people, educators and youth workers worldwide to experience the magic of the Tiger Woods Learning Center.

AT&T National 2011 / $3.6M raised / $6.2M purse / 150,060 fans attended / We Salute Our Heroes Wall - 768-square-feet of signatures and messages / 2011 Champion – Nick Watney / June 28-July 3 at Aronimink Golf Club, Philadelphia, PA / 30,000 free military tickets / 7,000 care packages assembled and sent to troops overseas / 120 top PGA TOUR players

Entertainment and the opportunity to volunteer and give back to the community are part of what makes the AT&T National one of my favorite sporting events to attend. From the very first year of the tournament, when AT&T employees served as Shuttle Hosts, we had the opportunity to welcome the players and public to a highly visible event that showcased AT&T’s commitment to supporting local charitable organizations and the military.

tournament entrance, walked up to the tribute wall and wrote a message to the troops.

The positive response to the tribute wall was overwhelming. After the first day, it was clear one wall wouldn’t be nearly enough space for all those who wanted to write a message. We welcomed veterans from wars dating back to WWII, families of active duty troops and wounded warriors. Everyone wanted to sign, and space was at a premium. Our volunteers found creative ways to make space for people to sign – children got down low, tall adults wrote high, stepstools came out for others and people wrote sideways to get on that last little edge. “Thank you” stickers created for those who signed the wall quickly ran out, were reprinted and ran out again.

With the help of the tournament staff, we set up a second wall, which took little time to fill. Then we improvised. We flipped the walls over and people signed the backs. Attendees’ love for the military spanned four walls and easily would have covered more had we had them. After the tournament, sections of the tribute wall were delivered to and displayed at several military locations in the surrounding area.

Throughout the week, everyone told us that signing the wall was one of the highlights of the tournament. They all hoped the AT&T National would continue to make the wall a key part of tournaments going forward.

On a recent visit to the new Bethesda Hospital, formerly Walter Reed Medical Center, I met a veteran who had just returned from a tour overseas. When he heard I was with AT&T, he gave me a huge smile and told me about his dad’s proud description of his experience signing the wall at the AT&T National last summer. That smile said it all!

Last year, as part of the AT&T National focus on the military, I chaired the 2011 committee that helped organize and manage the We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall. The wall was the first of its kind at a golf tournament, and we kept our fingers crossed that it would be the “big bang” of the week. We were not disappointed. It was a moving experience to welcome fans, players, caddies, tournament staff and media as they made their way through the main

Quick notes

The Employees Community Fund of Boeing California (“ECF CA”) was thrilled to be one of the inaugural supporters of the Tiger Woods Learning Center Summer Academy. Thanks to the generosity of Boeing employees and the vision of the Learning Center staff, ECF CA’s grant enabled eight children of deployed military from California bases to attend the week-long STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Academy at the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim. Students in the STEM Academy received 15 hours of instruction along with three enrichment workshops. These STEM classes included comparative zoology, resourceful robotics, velocity vehicles and video game design, while enrichment classes included digital

photography and Photoshop, rocketry, alternative energy, comparative marine life and beginning golf.

Youth with parents in the active duty forces experience amplified challenges with frequent relocations, school transitions and separations from a parent because of the military’s mission. By giving young people this rich array of experiences in both STEM and golf, the Summer Academy exposed all participating students to career and confidence-building skills and concepts that will last a lifetime.

The Summer Academy was the perfect opportunity for ECF CA to impact two areas of great interest to Boeing employees – STEM education and serving our military. Thank you to the Tiger Woods Learning Center for the opportunity to partner on this excellent program.

kit weirPrincipal, Murray Middle School

It has been an incredible privilege to have a Tiger Woods Learning Center (TWLC) Campus at Murray Middle School in Stuart, Florida. As the principal of Murray Middle, I am extremely excited about the opportunity to provide our students with this type of high-quality, free after-school program. Our students are exposed to an enriching and educational curriculum in a positive, safe environment. Through hands-on experiences and activities, they are also developing a stronger interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), and have a better understanding of the connection between what they are learning in the classroom and future career options.

In particular, the students absolutely love the TWLC forensics program. It is centered on a “CSI” type theme and culminates in the students trying to solve a mock “crime.” School staff members get involved by helping to carry out the “caper” and then it is up to the students to use the skills they have learned in the forensics program to solve it. The students are very professional in their detective work and it is rewarding to watch them systematically identify and rule out suspects, based on scientific evidence. The students are also learning chromatography, how to take DNA from a strawberry and exploring the pH levels of mystery liquids and bases that could potentially be found at a crime scene. The students are engaged and excited to be part of the TWLC program.

As a life-long educator, it is inspiring to see the positive impact the TWLC program is having on our students. They are excited about what they are learning and are developing a strong sense of self-worth. Our students consider it an honor to be in the program and they want to do well. For the 6th grade TWLC students, one of the highlights of this school year was when they got to teach 8th grade students (who are not in the program) how to process fingerprints. It was on this day that Tiger Woods decided to pay a surprise visit to our school. He spent quality time with the students and was genuinely interested in their success. The students were impressed with his kindness and thoughtfulness. The TWLC Program has been a wonderful partnership for our school. The TWLC staff has been superb to work with and the entire experience has exceeded my expectations.

big croWds, big moments

seth wAugh CEO, Deutsche Bank Americas

For the last nine years, the Deutsche Bank Championship has been a world-class tournament and an essential Labor Day tradition for New England fans. As a playoff event, we’ve become known for our family-friendly atmosphere, exciting finishes and great champions. 2011 was no exception as Webb Simpson captured the title after a thrilling comeback with three birdies in a playoff against Chez Reavie. On a day filled with big crowds and big moments, Simpson delivered a stunning conclusion on the TPC Boston course.

While the event has grown in both importance and popularity on the PGA TOUR, it’s important to note the impact the tournament is having off the course as well. At Deutsche Bank, we are as proud of what goes on outside the ropes as inside. Since the tournament began in 2003, it has raised over $20 million for charity, including our primary beneficiary, the Tiger Woods Foundation. This work reflects Deutsche Bank’s commitment to the United States and our active dedication to social responsibility.

We also have a long history of supporting education for children, and we are very proud to lend support to the Foundation’s college-access programs. I’ve gotten to know the Foundation, its staff and its programs over the years, and I can say with certainty that their programs are truly changing lives and helping so many first-generation students achieve success in high school and college.

Serving as the presenting sponsor of the inaugural Tiger Woods Invitational at Pebble Beach was an absolute honor. USLI got involved with the event because we are committed to making a difference through community outreach. We believe in supporting educational programs and hoped the Tiger Woods Invitational would help the Foundation reach its goals. I can say with certainty that the event’s 120 guests had an incredible time while raising more than $700,000 for the Foundation’s college-access programs.

The golf experience was unbeatable. Guests enjoyed playing three exceptional golf courses and a private clinic with Tiger on Wednesday afternoon; however, the Wednesday evening reception was a highlight for many. To commemorate the week, Tiger and I werejoined by Earl Woods Scholar, Vina Vo, and Pebble Beach Founder, Peter Ueberroth. Everyone who spoke that night was fantastic, but special mention must be made of Vina. A senior at the University of Southern California, Vina spoke of her limited life experiences and world view prior to admission into the Earl Woods Scholarship Program. Her impressive determination coupled with the Foundation’s resources has taken Vina on an amazing journey to more than seven countries and has helped her to obtain a dual degree in Business Administration and Urban Planning. She is a remarkable young

scholar, and I’m proud USLI has had a hand in making sure she is the first in her family to graduate from college.

Going forward, I am excited that USLI’s support of the Tiger Woods Foundation enables educational resources at the Cristo Rey School in Philadelphia. I hope this will be the first of many opportunities for USLI and Tiger Woods Foundation to support more schools across the country in the years to come.

Overall, the energy and enthusiasm of everyone at the Foundation is inspirational and contagious. The work they are doing is remarkable, and it’s changing lives. USLI is honored to be a part of this event and the Tiger Woods Foundation’s excellent programs.

SUE

sue The average graduate leaves college with more than $19,000 in debt. Not Sue. In fact, Sue didn’t know if she would even be able to attend college until she received admission into the earl Woods Scholarship Program. She graduates from cal State Fullerton, Fullerton, calif., in May 2012 with a degree in communications, and is just one example of how earl Woods Scholars receive 41% more funding than those in other scholarship programs.

a scholarly perspective

Jenny nguyenEarl Woods Scholar, UCLA, Class of 2012

The second annual Winter Workshop closed the 2011 year with warm laughter and bittersweet tears. The purpose of the Workshop is to provide Earl Woods Scholars with helpful working sessions, congratulate the graduating class and bring everyone together for one last time before the start of the New Year. When I arrived at the Tiger Woods Learning Center for the two-day event, I was completely shocked by how much the program has grown. Four years ago, there were 10 scholars. This winter, the entire dining room was full, and I had many new names to learn.

I was excited to be reunited with my fellow fourth-year scholars Sue, Steven, Vina, Fatou, Evan and Grace — I feel like I’ve known these guys forever. We go to schools all over the United States, but somehow are always able to make it back to Anaheim to see each other at least once every year for these valuable Workshops. Over the past four years I remember … how much fun we had cleaning out smelly cages at the Orange County Zoo. How good we felt after making cookies and pastries for the kids at Orangewood Children’s Home. How we brought tears to an elderly woman’s eyes when we spent all day repainting her house. These are some of the best memories I’ve ever had.

In addition to much-needed academic workshops, highlights of the two days included mock interviews, a delicious social etiquette luncheon at the Anaheim White House Restaurant, fun icebreaker activities and an industry forum panel where we heard from professionals from a variety of fields.

I really enjoyed my mock interview with Reuters’ Sports Reporter Mark Lamport-Stokes. Mark and I hit it off immediately. The interview felt more like a conversation, and I realized how much I’ve learned and grown since my first year in college. If I had gone to the same interview four years ago, I would have been terrified.

Day two meant speech day for the upcoming 2012 grads. Fatou went first. We are all so proud of him. Then Sue made her speech. Out of all the scholars, it’s safe to say that Sue is my best friend. But Sue did what I did not want her to do, which was get emotional. I found myself tearing up while listening to her speech. So I gave my speech. I got choked up. And I felt so relieved when it was finally over. It felt like a strange mixture of pride, gratitude and a little sadness.

I am excited for myself. I am excited for the future. But I’m also excited for all the new Earl Woods Scholars that I met at the Winter Workshop. In four years, they will understand what we seniors have felt. They’ll stand at that podium with the past four years of their lives running wildly through their heads and feel thankful for each and every moment.

miranda only 43% of graduating high school seniors are ready for college math and only 27% are ready for college science. Not Miranda. Like all TWLc students, Miranda is participating in dozens of STeM-based classes. Her current favorites are universal science and astronomy, both of which are increasing her math and science skills. The best part about Miranda’s success is that it happens every day at the TWLc. With advanced classes in engineering, robotics and aerospace, TWLc students consistently show considerable gains in science skills.

I love coming home every year for my Foundation’s tournament. With only 18 players in the field and the familiar surroundings of Sherwood Country Club, there is a lot that makes this week special. My Dad and I started this event in 1999. It’s grown a lot over the last 13 years. It’s a great week for the kids and families that come out to watch year after year, and it’s also fun for the guys in the field. Because my Foundation serves as the beneficiary of this tournament, it’s also a time where we reflect on our year and all that we accomplished. 2011 was another great year for the Tiger Woods Foundation, but I also enjoyed discussing all of our plans for 2012. It’s exciting to work with the staff to develop programs that are better, bigger and more impactful.

On the course, my goal was to continue what I’d been doing in Australia. With FedExCup Champion Bill Haas, 12 Presidents Cup players and young stand-outs in Rickie Fowler and Keegan Bradley in the field, I knew it was going to be a tough week for me to bring home the trophy. I felt very comfortable

in the tournament from start to finish. I went out every day and played shot for shot and tried to place the ball correctly. By Sunday’s final round, I was in the right position. It was Zach Johnson and me battling it out in a match play situation. He had the lead starting the final round and put pressure on me throughout the day. His ball striking and short game was phenomenal as he made very few mistakes. I hit good shots on holes 17 and 18 and made two clutch putts for birdie to ultimately win.

I have to admit I was a bit nervous coming down the stretch. I wanted all my on-course work to pay off, but I also wanted to win. A win specifically at this event means a lot to me and my Foundation. I’m so glad I was able to bring it home. The 18th green on Sunday at Sherwood is always surrounded by a lot of familiar faces. Scattered around the green were many old friends, the board and staff of my Foundation, people who have worked with me since I turned pro, students and scholars who’ve grown up in our programs and even a few media I’ve known most of my life. It was really special to have everyone there to celebrate my first win in two years, as well as the culmination of a great week. I was proud to hoist the trophy among all the local fans and those who truly benefit from the tournament.
