At his news conference Friday, Tiger Woods said he was not sure when he would return to golf, but he WAS sure about one thing, and it involves local teenagers.
Woods said he would continue the Earl D. Woods Foundation, a program named after his father, that provides scholarships to graduating high school students in Washington, D.C., and California.
"To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever," Woods said.
"Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California to the Earl Woods scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues."
In 2009, 11 D.C. students received scholarships of up to $5,000 from the program.
According to the foundation Web site, recipients have to have a demonstrated financial need and a proven commitment to community service.
