He may not have qualified to play in the main event, but two-time FedEx Cup champ Tiger Woods put in a brief appearance Wednesday night to chat up his Tiger Woods Foundation, a chief charitable beneficiary of the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston.
Fresh off of his participation in the Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge charity exhibition, Woods made some remarks at the Deutsche Bank pro-am draw party Wednesday night at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. Before flying into Boston, Woods, who teamed with eight-time LPGA Tour winner Suzann Pettersen to place third in the annual Begay event, ruefully discussed his failure to earn his way into the second of two FedEx Cup tourneys.
“It’s like missing a major championship,” Woods said on his website Wednesday. “I’m missing tournaments I normally play in or have played in. It’s part of being injured and not being able to play.”
Woods termed his Challenge play “all right,” noting he posted four birdies as he and his teammate shot a 9-under 63 at Turning Stone Resort in Verona, N.Y.
Begay, who hoped to raise id=”mce_marker” million to help boost awareness and money in the fight against childhood obesity among Native American youth, observed that his long-time friend was “making progress” as he worked to get his game in shape after leg injuries sidelined him for three months this year.
