Tiger plans to visit Korea for amateur golf camp

Former world No. 1 Tiger Woods plans to visit Korea on April 14 to take part in the “Make It Matter” golf camp for junior and amateur golfers, his corporate sponsor Nike Golf said Tuesday.

Woods will first head to China in early April and then make a stop here before hopping over to Japan as part of the same program.

This will be Woods’ first visit to the nation since 2004 when he competed in a skins game with Choi Kyoung-ju, Pak Se-ri and Colin Montgomerie in Jeju Island.

Those wanting to take part in the golf camp, the company said, need to apply at the website http://twtour.nikegolf.co.kr on the Make It Matter homepage, and follow the onscreen instructions.

The company said 100 people will be selected but the venue for the clinic has not been decided.

Before heading to Korea, Woods will compete at the Masters from April 7 to 10.
