Tiger Woods is in the golf-loving nation of Korea for the first time. The golf star will take part in a one-day skins competition with other golf stars such as Korea's Pak Se-ri. After the event on Jeju Island, he flies to Japan to play in next week's Dunlop Phoenix tournament.
The king of golf was greeted with warm cheers as he arrived on Korea's southern island of Jeju Friday. Tiger Woods is in Jeju to take part in a skins competition on Sunday. He will tee off with Scotland's golfing legend Colin Montgomerie and Choi Kyung-ju and Pak Se-ri of South Korea.
"This is going to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to play the event. We got three other great champions here, and we are just looking forward to having a fantastic time and putting on a great show for all of people here in Korea."
Organizers say Sunday's event will be watched in 85 nations around the world and the tournament's 200 thousand dollars winnings will go to charity. Woods says he is confident about playing and he believes what matters is not necessarily who puts on the best performance rather who makes the right putt at the right time.
