“My goal is to design a handful of very unique courses around the world, and The Cliffs is a perfect fit for my first American design,” stated Tiger Woods. “Seeing what they’ve created with some of the world’s best designers is very inspiring, and I’m looking forward to adding my own style into the mix. I chose The Cliffs at High Carolina because of the great people and the amazing location. I’m really looking forward to making it a premier destination to share with my friends and family.”— Tiger Woods
