Primarily lauded for his remarkable achievements on the golf course, Woods has clinched 15 majors and a total of 82 career victories on the PGA Tour.

 

 

Mike Whan, CEO of the USGA, emphasized that the award transcends mere performance, acknowledging Woods' profound impact on the game and its future. Woods' influence extends beyond his on-course feats, shaping the image and growth of golf for generations to come.

 

 

Woods, a nine-time USGA champion, has a remarkable track record, including victories at three U.S. Junior Amateurs, three U.S. Amateurs, and multiple U.S. Opens.

 

 

Expressing his humility, Woods acknowledged the significance of the award named after golf icon Bob Jones, renowned for his integrity and contributions to the sport. Jones' legacy includes winning the Grand Slam in 1930 and co-founding Augusta National Golf Club.

 

 

Beyond his sporting achievements, Woods has made significant strides off the course. He established the TGR Foundation, focusing on educational initiatives and STEM-based learning. Additionally, his endeavors extend to golf course design, exemplified by his project in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which hosted a PGA Tour event recently.

 

 

The award ceremony is scheduled for June 12 during the US Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina, where Woods will join an esteemed list of previous recipients, including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and former President George H.W. Bush.
