At the height of his career, Tiger Woods was known for his unmatched focus, fierce determination, and relentless pursuit of greatness. But behind the trophies and triumphs, Tiger has quietly carried another purpose — one that has taken on deeper meaning as he reflects on the struggles of young people battling life’s most difficult challenges.

And now, that purpose has a name.

Introducing The Legacy Drive, a new foundation established by Tiger Woods, dedicated to funding research, recovery, and resilience programs for children and young adults facing rare and aggressive illnesses — including pediatric soft tissue cancers such as rhabdomyosarcoma.

A Legacy Beyond the Green

Tiger Woods has always believed that strength is not just measured in yards or championships — it’s measured in moments of impact. With The Legacy Drive, he hopes to channel the same intensity that fueled his career into helping children and families facing unimaginable battles.

“This foundation isn’t just about giving back,” Tiger says. “It’s about giving forward — creating a future where every child has a fighting chance, and no parent has to face these battles alone.”

The name “The Legacy Drive” represents more than just golf. It reflects the powerful, long-term drive toward progress, compassion, and a better future — one that Tiger hopes to be part of, not just as an athlete, but as a father, mentor, and advocate.

Inspired by Stories Like Jacob’s

One of the stories that moved Tiger most was that of Jacob, a brave little boy who was diagnosed with pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma at just 16 months old. Though Jacob fought with all his might, he tragically passed away at the age of three in 2019.

Jacob’s family created Jacob’s Join, a CCLG Special Named Fund, to continue his legacy and fuel research that could change the future for other children. It is stories like Jacob’s that lit a fire in Tiger’s heart — a fire to act, to speak up, and to support meaningful research.

The Foundation’s Mission

The Legacy Drive will focus on four key pillars:

1. Pediatric Cancer Research
   Funding cutting-edge studies into rare childhood cancers like rhabdomyosarcoma, with the goal of discovering more effective and less invasive treatments.

2. Family Support Programs
   Providing emotional, financial, and logistical support to families during treatment and recovery.

3. Athlete-Led Awareness Campaigns
   Using Tiger’s platform and partnerships with other athletes to shine a spotlight on childhood illness and the urgent need for research.

4. Youth Empowerment Initiatives
   Helping young survivors regain strength, confidence, and joy through sports, mentorship, and community building.

   

A Message from Tiger

Tiger shared this heartfelt message upon launching the foundation:

“As a father, I’ve learned that there is no greater fear than watching a child suffer. And there is no greater strength than the one they show us in return.

The Legacy Drive is for them — the fighters, the dreamers, and the children who never had the chance. If we can help just one family hold on a little longer, or give one child a better tomorrow, then every mile of this journey is worth it.”
