Woods' foundation to donate $100,000 to tsunami relief
14/1/2005 8:14

The Tiger Woods Foundation is giving 100,000 U.S. dollars to earthquake-tsunami relief efforts in Asia, and the PGA Tour is matching that amount.

Woods' foundation and the tour are donating the money to Give2Asia, with the money directed toward two groups aimed at providing sanctuary and relief to children affected by the tsunami,according to reports from Anahelm, California, on Wednesday.

The Rajaprajanukroh Foundation supports children who have been orphaned in tsunami-affected provinces. The Holt Sahathai Foundation provides services such as adoption, pregnancy counseling, foster care, and education for children in hospitals and orphanages through Thailand.

Woods' mother was from Thailand, although he said last week none of her family was affected by the December 26 tsunami that killed more than 150,000 in 11 countries, reports said.
