The event, attended by 100 invited guests of Nike Golf Canada, raised funds for the Tiger Woods Foundation and Canadian junior golf.

“I’ve never been to this part of Canada before. It’s really beautiful,” said Woods. “The event was great and it was really fun to play with my friends Hank and Charles. We don’t get a chance to play with each other very often.

“I’m also thankful that we were able to raise a lot of money for my foundation and for Canadian junior golf,” said the world’s No. 1 golfer.

Ron Joyce, who founded the Tim Hortons chain and created Fox Harb’r, said the Tiger sighting was a milestone event for the resort.

“We were thrilled to host Tiger Woods at Fox Harb’r for this important fundraising event and to welcome him to Atlantic Canada,” Joyce said.

Vitalis Gomes, director of golf for Nike Golf Canada, added that the event served several purposes.

“We are grateful to have had the opportunity to provide an intimate setting for our partners to interact with Tiger Woods and to showcase spectacular Fox Harb’r and raise significant funds for young people,” he said.
