Golf course venture launched by Woods
06/11/2006
World number one Tiger Woods has announced the formation of his own golf course design company.
The 30-year-old says he has been inspired by the exploits of friends Jack Nicklaus and Tom Fazio and wants to try his hand at the potentially lucrative industry himself by designing courses worldwide.
"My goal is to provide a unique collection of amazing courses all over the world that represent what I love about golf" the new Tiger Woods Design chairman said.
"I'm very excited to announce the formation of this company and get to work on finding the right projects for my first few courses."
Woods insists his underlying ambition is to continue already high golf course standards and create "enjoyable, challenging" environments, believing his first-hand experience of the world's best courses puts him in a great position to do so.
"I've had the luxury of playing golf around the world and I've spent a lot of time evaluating how to play all kinds of courses.
"I'd like to share my experience and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses," he added.
