Tiger Woods partners with Augusta National to build a legacy beyond green jacket

Woods will design a nine-hole short course called The Loop at the Patch.

In addition to Woods designing the par-3 course, his TGR Foundation will partner with ANGC to create a TGR Learning Lab in Augusta to deliver STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) to the more than 23,000 students in the city’s public schools. Pic: Rob Carr/Getty Images

Scottie Scheffler’s Champions Dinner on Tuesday night was missing a significant member of the club – Tiger Woods. The five-time Masters winner is still recovering from surgery in March to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and didn’t travel to Augusta.

Despite his notable absence, Woods is still a big part of the story this week with significant plans to leave more of a mark on Augusta. During a special Masters-week Monday press conference by club chairman Fred Ridley that focused on two new community partnerships between Augusta National Golf Club and TGR enterprises, Woods taped a brief message while wearing his green jacket about how honored he is to be team up with ANGC for two legacy projects in the hometown of the Masters Tournament.
