Woods also has his doors open in the Tiger Woods Learning Center that consists of 35,000 square foot complex located in Anaheim, California. In the facility; around 5,000 people may enroll in an after school program that includes the following subjects: forensic science, engineering, and robotics.

Woods is very pleased and thankful to have been chosen for the award and extremely satisfied in having reached so many young lives. Among other accomplishments he also won the GWAA award, an award given to professional golfers for generous assistance to the betterment of society, and will be honored at the annual GWAA dinner on April 4th in Augusta, Georgia.
