We often measure the high profile pro golfers by varying definitions of whether they have heart and soul.
There is the Tiger heart of a champion in his killer instincts to win big tournaments. But, we also give the nod to him as a great sportsman who has a foundation to do good deeds. He obviously is very successful at all these endeavors. Tiger is among many high profile athletes that do have a commitment to give back through foundations. The level of giving back is all relative to a great extent based on what they have to give.
But, look at this statement by K.J. Choi, the Korean, who recently stated that if he wins the Fed Ex, he is going to give it all to charity, underpriveleged kids, etc. That really is high commitment and admirable generosity. Oh, he hasn't won it yet... but he sure shows some class.
“If I’m able to win it, I want to give it all to charity, 100 percent,” Choi told the Associated Press.
“I could think of so many things I could do with that money, so many good things,” Choi added through his agent and interpreter, Michael Yim of IMG.
“I want to help a lot of the unfortunate kids around the world. I want to set up my own foundation, like Tiger. Thinking about what I can do with that money, it just motivates me.”
