This came from tigerwoods.com newsletter:

"I also want to let you know that I have started a new company called Tiger Woods Design. I have always wanted to create my own golf courses around the world and am thrilled to embark on this new opportunity. I've played golf in more than 20 countries and look forward to sharing my first-hand knowledge and experience by designing fun, interesting and playable courses for golfers of all abilities. "

 Normally when pro's turn their hand to golf course design their games go into decline..perhaps rather than concentrate on playing they are thinking of sneaky pin positions and adding pot bunkers. Funny how they think by playing golf in 20 countries it somehow qualifies him, surely he should have said I have won 14 majors and I visit GCA 3 times every day.
I suspect he will be brilliant though.

[Tim Gavrich]

The really important bit of further news is: Who will be his #1 design associate?  Don't you think that he or she will do a lot of the design work?  After all, Tiger's still looking for those last few majors in order to catch and pass Nicklaus...

Many of these questions have been batted around on the Tiger/ GCA thread that lurks just a few threads down.....same topic.
