One of the greatest golfers of all-time, the legendary Tiger Woods has also been a major supporter of youth sports and communities throughout the United States.
Woods is now taking that to a whole new level. Through his TGR Foundation and in unison with the United States Tennis Association and the Walt Disney Company, Woods is helping erect a huge 87-acre youth sports facility for at-risk children in Carson, California.
The foundation has committed a whopping $50 million to help build The Carol Kimmelman Athletic and Academic Campus. It’s going to be something else.
“The need to invest in the futures of under served kids has never felt more urgent,” Woods said, via Business Wire. “We have a unique opportunity to do something impactful right now that will create lasting positive change for generations.”
A native of California, Woods is doing his best to prop up communities that continue to be hit hard by high unemployment rates, a lack of education and crime.
Worth an estimated $800 million, Woods more than has the capability and platform to help enact change. That’s exactly what he’s doing here.
