KJ Choi at Transitions
Asian Tour honorary member Choi Kyung-Ju has pledged to help the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan by donating US$100,000 to the American Red Cross through the K.J. Choi Foundation.
In 1999, the Korean strongman played on the Japan Golf Tour prior to earning his PGA TOUR playing privileges.
“It is shocking and terribly sad to see what is happening every day in Japan and the difficulty they face in overcoming this disaster. The situation in Japan impacts us all on a global level,” Choi said. “This is the time for us to join our hands together and do all we can to help our friends in Japan.
“I have special memories of playing in Japan as it set the stepping stone in helping me to become the first Korean to earn a PGA TOUR card,” Choi continued. “Through the K.J. Choi Foundation, I want to implement projects that can attract continuous interest and support to help our neighbours in Japan.”
