On Tuesday of next week, Tiger Woods is expected to announce plans for his first golf course design in the United States.
At a news conference yesterday in conjunction with the PGA Championship, Woods said he would be at The Cliffs Communities corporate offices in Traveler's Rest, S.C., following the major tournament.
There, it is believed he will reveal his plans to design a golf course to anchor the real estate company's newest residential development, The Cliffs of High Carolina, near Asheville, N.C.
The Cliffs Communities encompasses seven housing developments located in the corridor stretching from Asheville, N.C., to Greenville, S.C., many with golf courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Fazio.
Late last year, the world's No. 1 player formed Tiger Wood Design and chose Dubai as the location for his first project. His Al Ruwaya course there is expected to be completed in the fall of 2009. No word yet on the opening date of his Carolina course, but we'll keep you posted.
