SUNDAY
Malacanang, Jan. 17, 1998
- President Ramos is taking his mind off politics and the economic crunch
this Sunday, when he dons a pair of shorts and plays a round of golf with
the world's latest sports phenomenon Tiger Woods.
The President yesterday issued a statement welcoming Woods, who is scheduled to participate in an exhibition match at the Mimosa Golf and Country Club inside Clark Field.
"We welcome Tiger Woods in our midst as an Asian hero and model for competitiveness," the president said.
"The presence of Tiger Woods at this exhibition match with leading Asian players, including our own Felix Casas, is certain to generate considerable excitement and interest among golfers," the president added.
He described the young Woods as "an excellent example for our youth, not only because of his awesome skills but also because of his civility and courtesy."
