Tiger Woods will make his first appearance outside of the United States this year when he plays in a charity pro-am in Ireland next month. Woods has agreed to play in a two-day event organized by Irish racehorse owner JP McManus. The 36-hole pro-am will be held at Adare Manor, which is a former Irish Open venue, on July 5-6, the start of the week before the Open Championship at St Andrews. The last J.P. McManus pro-am in 2005 raised £30million ($36 million) for nominated charities. In a statement issued by the organizers, Woods said: 'Like my own Foundation, I understand the importance and necessity of raising funds to help deserving individuals. This tournament does just that.' |
