PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
As the tiger woods foundation enters its seventh year, I am proud of the
priorities upon which it was established. Each day, we strive to create programs that inspire dreams in
children across the country.
In 2002, our benevolence programs continued to reach out to many children’s organizations.
The Foundation donated more than $1 million dollars to various charities nationwide and awarded
grants to approximately 50 not-for-profit organizations that focus on education, youth development or
child/family.
Also in support of our mission, the proceeds from April’s Tiger Jam V benefit concert helped
support several youth-driven charities in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, while another 15 grants were
awarded in the Summer of 2002 to inner city junior golf programs through our Junior Golf “Leave Behind”
program.
The Foundation celebrated its 25th clinic with the Coca-Cola Tiger Woods Foundation Junior
Golf Clinic at Walt Disney World Resort in June with junior golf programs from Newark, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Ft Worth and Orlando in attendance.
In the fall of 2002, the Foundation announced plans for a very exciting new project: The Tiger
Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, California. It’s our first capital project and the realization of a
long-term goal. This innovative facility will serve thousands of youth, providing them with the tools to
achieve their dreams through advanced education and golf instruction.
Finally, we closed 2002 with December’s Target World Challenge, which featured some of the
world’s best golfers and benefited our Start Something program and other Los Angeles-based charities.
The Start Something Youth Program, created in conjunction with Target Stores, has encouraged more
than one million kids to identify goals and take the necessary steps toward achieving them.
The future presents many exciting opportunities for the children supported by the Tiger Woods
Foundation. We hope to further our existing programs and develop new strategies to enhance the lives
of all children. On behalf of the officers, directors and staff, I would like to extend a sincere thank you
to all of the individuals and corporations who have supported the Foundation this year.

MAKING DREAMS A REALITY
The tiger woods learning center began as a dream: to create an education and
golf facility that inspires children to achieve greatness in their lives.
This dream is being realized through the Foundation’s efforts to raise $25 million to create the
35,000-square-foot, 23-acre education and golf facility designed specifically for children.
The Tiger Woods Learning Center, in Orange County, California, will be an innovative facility
designed to open the minds of children through advanced educational programs and an introduction
to the game of golf.
Students at the center will be immersed in a program that will allow educators to customize
curriculums based on each child’s needs. Time can be spent in important classroom instruction,
advanced Media Resource Center, Computer Lab, Science Lab or Personal Enrichment Center.
Since kicking off the project in December 2002, Tiger has donated $5 million to the Learning Center
and will be working with golf architect Tom Fazio to design the golf teaching facility, which will
consist of a 13-acre practice & putting area and a 10-acre, Par 3 course.
“ The goal of the TWLC is a simple one: develop children’s

golf for the greater good
Now in its fourth year, the Target World Challenge presented by Williams is a 72-hole,
stroke-play event that features one of the most elite fields on the PGA TOUR and raises funds for the
many charities supported by the Tiger Woods Foundation, including Start Something, Target House
and Ride On Therapeutic Riding Program.
The week long tournament includes a 16-player field comprised of the defending champion, the
top 11 players from the official World Golf Rankings, and four special exemptions selected
by the tournament.
The 2002 target world challenge featured defending champion, and No. 1 player in the
world Tiger Woods, and No. 2 Phil Mickelson, but it was Padraig Harrington, ranked No. 9 in the
world, who held off the world’s top two golfers to emerge victorious. Woods finished second.
Held at Sherwood Country Club, the event kicked off on Dec. 2 with a two-day Pro-Am tournament
that included celebrities such as Andy Garcia, Wayne Gretzky and Craig T. Nelson. Following the
Pro-Am, the 16-player field competed in professional play on Dec. 5 – 8. Below: 2002 Champion,

tiger jam v raises more than
one million dollars for charity
Over 5,000 fans were on hand to watch performances by Grammy award
winning artists Don Henley and Train at the Tiger Jam V presented by Coca-Cola benefit concert,
which raised more than $1 million dollars for the Tiger Woods Foundation and various youth-driven
Las Vegas and Los Angeles charities. The event, held on April 20, 2002 at the Mandalay Bay Resort
& Casino, had special guest appearances by Kevin James of The King of Queens and Dennis Miller of
Dennis Miller Live. Dylan McDermott of The Practice, Carson Daly of MTV and Pat O’Brien of
Access Hollywood were on hand to lend their talents.
The benefit was an action packed day full of exciting events that began with a three-hole Celebrity
Skins match followed by a sponsor golf outing at the Rio Secco Golf Club. After a day on the
links, sponsors attended a dinner reception featuring a silent & live auction full of exclusive items.
From a trip to Italy for dinner with Sting and a private tour of his recording studio in Tuscany,
to spending five days in paradise at Cayo Espanto, a private island in the Caribbean, to a Masters
flag autographed by Jack, Arnie & Tiger, the auction was full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences and
unique memorabilia.
Tiger Jam V also featured the Start Something Kid’s Day, presented by Target Stores. Tiger hosted
50 children for a fun afternoon of interactive activities. Twenty children from the Start Something
program and 30 children from Las Vegas charities participated in the event. The children had
the opportunity to meet Tiger, Carson Daly and other celebrities while also exploring interactive
“Dream Booths” that gave them the chance to meet and learn from people who have achieved their
own dreams.
Proceeds from Tiger Jam V supported many youth-driven charities based in Las Vegas and Los
Angeles as well as The VH1 Save the Music Foundation and the GRAMMY in the Schools program.
A portion of the proceeds also went to the Tiger Woods Foundation for use in benevolent giving
and scheduled programs throughout the year. Top: Pat Monahan from Train preforms at Tiger Jam V.

The following charities received funding in 2002 from
proceeds raised at Tiger Jam V presented by Coca-Cola:
center for independent living
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Center for Independent Living, a 501 (c) (3) residential facility, opened its doors
in July of 1994 to serve the highest risk adolescents (ages 16 to 20) in Nevada and was developed to
provide these kids with an opportunity to mature and learn independent living skills in a structured
supervised setting. Some residents are homeless, others may have some family, but those parents have
serious problems and have lost custody of their children. By and large, these are youth who have been
forgotten by society. The center’s efforts are aimed at helping these young people complete high school
and learn skills that will allow them to enter the work force and lead productive lives.
greater las vegas inner city games
Las Vegas, Nevada
The inner-city games is a six-month festival of free educational , cultural,
and athletic events for all Las Vegas area children. Over 6,000 children participated during the 2002
season. Participants ranged in age from 7 to 17 and came from a variety of ethnic groups and financial
backgrounds. Students came from 250 different schools throughout the Clark County School District.
An average of 12 school buses made over 65 different stops to bring children to the event. The
program offered a broad range of activities which included: chess, computer camps, basketball, soccer,
swimming, golf, bowling, track and field, tennis, hip hop, junior broadcasters and cultural arts. The
“Games” mission is to help children say “no” to drugs, gangs and violence, and “yes” to hope, learning,
and life.
the grammy foundation,
grammy in the schools
The grammy in the schools program presents an overview of the possibilities
and opportunities in the music industry to high school students around the country. The program
has developed into an event as exciting as it is diverse. Through workshops, panel discussions and
performances, students and educators learn about the inner-workings of the recording industry and the
importance of a good education. In partnership with Recording Academy Chapter and Branch offices,
local universities and school districts, GRAMMY in the Schools occurs in 15 cities across the United
States and annually reaches 12,000 students from 28 states.

vh1 save the music foundation
The VH1 Save the Music Foundation is a non-profit initiative with
two primary missions: To restore music education programs in America’s public schools, and to
raise awareness of the positive impact music participation has on students. Research has shown that
involvement in music programs improves a child’s early cognitive development, basic math and reading
abilities, self-esteem, SAT scores, self-discipline, ability to work in teams, spatial reasoning skills, and
school attendance. Also, children involved with music education are more likely to graduate from
high school and attend college, and less likely to be involved with gangs and substance abuse. The
VH1 Save the Music Foundation is committed to restoring music education programs for one million
children in the next ten years.

JUNIOR GOLF
a silver lining in orlando
Clouds and rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the youngsters attending the 25th
Coca-Cola/Tiger Woods Foundation Junior Golf Clinic at Walt Disney World last June. Although it
rained off and on throughout the golf lessons and exhibition, all of the participants had a great time.
Just ask Robert Biggers, Jr. He joined Tiger in the hot seat of the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”
attraction at the Disney-MGM Studios. By answering the last question correctly, Tiger won $10,000
for the Tiger Woods Foundation. Robert took home $1,000 worth of Disney merchandise.
Youth golf programs from Buffalo, Philadelphia, Fort Worth, Orlando and Newark were selected
to participate in the three-day event through a formal bid process. The Foundation’s Junior Golf
Committee selected the participating groups through criteria that measured inner-city youth golf
initiatives, community support and participation in local junior golf programs.
Each city brought 15 junior golfers and their parents and chaperones to Orlando for the three-day
experience that included golf instruction, an exhibition by Tiger Woods that was attended by more
than 3,000 people and tickets to the Walt Disney World theme parks. Participating kids also received
complimentary airfare, accommodations at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort and transportation
throughout their visit.
the junior golf “leave behind” program
In conjunction with the coca-cola/tiger woods foundation Junior Golf
Clinic, the Foundation awarded 15 grants to junior golf programs based in the participating cities.
These “Leave Behind” grants help fund junior golf programs for underserved youth and have been used
to purchase equipment, additional instruction time and increase access to practice facilities and competition.
new generation of golf champions
For the past four years, the tiger woods foundation National Junior Golf Team
has competed in the Junior World Golf Championships held in San Diego, Calif. The team once again
had a terrific showing with five members finishing in the top 25 of their divisions. In addition, team
members Joshua Wooding, Teddy Collins and Vanessa Brockett were selected to compete in the “Big I,”
Independent Insurance Agent Junior Classic tournament in Houston, Texas, on Aug. 12-16, 2002.

more children in America. The result is the Start Something program.
A beneficiary of the Target World Challenge, Start Something is an educational
SM
program focused on kids ages 8 to 17 that helps them discover and achieve
their dreams and goals. Available to schools, youth groups and individuals, Start
Something also offers kids who participate the chance to qualify for scholarships
of up to $5,000.
So far, the program has enrolled more than 1,000,000 children since the program’s
