fter almost a third of A female Thai smokers surveyed admitted they took up the habit before they were 13 years old, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) has warned of a looming health crisis.

“We are afraid that the number of female smokers will rise in the future,” ThaiHealth manager Dr Supakorn Bua-sai said yesterday.

In a 2007 survey of 3,093 girls and women between the ages of 13 and 24, 6.4 per cent admitted to being smokers. Of those, 31.4 per cent said they took their first puff before the age of 13.

But ThaiHealth also reports finding positive signs that antismoking efforts are working.

Supakorn said the number of smokers stood at 9.45 million in 2007 – a drop of 1.08 million from the 2001 figure.

“Cigarette sales have decreased significantly too,” he said, citing figures that show 168 million less packets have been bought so far this year than at the same point in 2007.

Cool season blows in Temperature will drop to 20-22 degrees Celsius in capital today, says Met Dept

angkokians are shivering in the first cool breezes of the year this week, with the Meteorological Department forecasting the mercury will drop to 20-22 degrees Celsius in the capital today.

The department’s Weather Forecast Bureau director Somchai Baimoung said yesterday that the cool season had begun in Thailand after the temperature dropped an average two to five degrees Celsius across the country.

He said the high-pressure system over upper Thailand and the temperature drop caused breezy conditions in

Mae Hong Son cloaked in cold mist on Monday.

Bangkok while the tail-end of Typhoon Mirinae produced the cloudy skies.

“People will enjoy cool weather for a few days before the temperature climbs again then dips to its lowest level in December,” Somchai added.

Coldest spot “The country’s coldest spot yesterday was the summit of Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai, where a temperature of 6.5 degrees was recorded.”

However, Somchai expects this cool season to be a little shorter than last year’s.

“The season will be shorter because of the warming influence of the El Nino phenome-

non, which has taken over from the cooling phase of La Nina – the cause of last year’s cold and rainy weather.”

Weather warning The department issued a warning for the southern

coastal areas of the Gulf of Thailand, where more rain coupled with strong winds and high waves are forecast.

All ships should proceed with caution, and small boats keep ashore during the next three to four days.

Anti-smoking campaigners target Bangkok expo, call on govt to stop accepting tobacco companies’ money D A I LY X P R E S S

M

ore than 500 Thai and international non-governmental organisations are campaigning against a tobacco exhibition scheduled next week in Bangkok, calling on Thai authorities not to support any activities by tobacco companies.

Dr Hathai Chitanont, head of the umbrella group representing all 500 NGOs, called on Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to order all government agencies to comply with a World Health Organisation protocol which restricts governments in all countries from supporting tobacco promotion.

The group has compiled more than 50,000 signatures of people opposed to TABINFO Asia 2009, being held at

Impact Exhibition Centre next Wednesday and Thursday, and submitted them to the prime minister.

“Although we know we cannot stop the exhibition, we hope that a Cabinet decision will be taken ahead of the event to show that Thailand is well aware of these [tobacco] companies’ campaigns and refuses to be a part of them,” said Hathai.

He said that slogan motto being used among vendors that would be at the exhibition – “If You Win Thailand, You Win the World” – was an insult to Thais and Thailand.

The protocol also prohibits government agencies from receiving support or sponsorship of any kind from tobacco com-

panies, Hathai said. He added that Thailand had never officially recognised the WHO protocol, and sponsorship from tobacco companies had been offered and granted to schools in the provinces regularly.

Chatchai Charnwiboolsri, head of a national grouping of pharmaceutical students, said tobacco companies were now using social networking sites

popular among the youth to promote their products. “This method clearly shows their intention to target youths and women,” he said.

Dr Somchaichote Piyawatwela, secretary-general of the Rural Doctor Society, said all provincial public health offices were on the look-out for such activities, and would name and shame those responsible.

celand and London are among the world’s best-value destinations thanks to the economic crisis, travel guide firm Lonely Planet said yesterday, while Thailand remains tough to beat.

South Africa, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Bulgaria, Kenya and Las Vegas in Nevada rounded out the top 10, said the British-based company in its “Best In Travel 2010” guide.

The annual snapshot book captures “the world’s hottest travel trends, destinations, journeys and experiences for the year ahead”, Lonely Planet says.

Iceland ‘no longer punitively expensive’ The economic collapse in Iceland meant the island was no longer punitively expensive, said the guide, putting the beleaguered country at the top of its best-value list.

“Have you always wanted to discover this magical, mysterious country? To explore ice caps and volcanoes, and wallow in hot springs? Been put off because of the prohibitive prices? Well, 2010 is your year.”

Thailand ‘perennially good value’ Thailand, at number two, remained “perennially good value”, said the book.

“It’s one of the cheapest long-haul holidays for European holiday-makers ... visitors are always spoilt for choice regarding accommodation.”

Meanwhile, London’s days as a costly destination are now

over, Lonely Planet says.

“Long ludicrously expensive, London has become much more affordable for visitors from abroad, if not for its residents,” said the guide.

“The favourable exchange rate means that travellers will often find hotels and meals up to half the price they were a few years ago.”

Malaysia ‘good for a bargain’ Elsewhere in the top 10, Malaysia “is a clever choice for travellers on the lookout for a bargain”, while in India “your money stretches almost as far as the infamous Indian ‘stretchable’ time”.

A seven-year-old Australian boy “redefined the word lucky” yesterday when he managed to escape from an out-of-control car moments before it plunged off a cliff, police said.

The boy went flying down his parents’ driveway and across a busy street after freeing the gears while playing in the family car at Austinmer, south of Sydney.

He leapt from the vehicle as it smashed through a hilltop fence before plunging eight metres down an embankment and rolling several times before smashing heavily into the beach below.

Incredibly, police said, the boy landed in a bush with only minor injuries. “[He] redefined the word lucky,” a police spokeswoman said.

Widower in drag uses dead wife’s ID A man who wore women’s clothing to use his dead wife’s gym membership has appeared in a Hong Kong court.

Lau Siu-wah, 51, was charged after he allegedly used his wife’s identification card to exercise in the femaleonly section of the gym at the city’s Sheraton hotel, The Standard daily reported.

But the man’s looks aroused suspicion and police were called, the report said, adding that Lau was quickly arrested.

The paper said Lau admitted to police that he used the card to impersonate his wife, who died in 2007.

Lau, who appeared in court in women’s clothes and wearing red nail polish, was granted bail on a charge that he used an identity card relating to another person. – AFP

“If you look at the percentage of volume lost since 2000 versus the percentage of area lost as the ice fields shrink, the numbers are very close,” he adds in the study.

he snows capping Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, are shrinking rapidly and could vanish altogether in 20 years, most likely due to global warming, a US study says.

The ice sheet that capped Kilimanjaro in 1912 was 85 per cent smaller by 2007, and since 2000 the existing ice sheet has shrunk by 26 per cent, the paleoclimatologists said.

Ice thins considerably

The findings point to the rise in global temperatures as the most likely cause of the ice loss. Changes in cloudiness and precipitation may have also played a smaller, less important role, especially in recent decades, they added.

While the yearly loss of the mountain glaciers is most apparent from the retreat of their margins, Thompson says an equally troubling effect is the thinning of the ice fields from the surface.

The summits of both the Northern and Southern Ice Fields atop Kilimanjaro have thinned by 1.9 metres and 5.1 metres, respectively. The smaller Furtwangler Glacier, which was melting and water-saturated in 2000 when it was drilled, has thinned as much as 50 per cent between 2000 and 2009, the study says.

The scientists said they found no evidence of sustained melting anywhere else in the ice core samples they extracted, which date back 11,700 years.

They said their findings show that current climate conditions over Mount Kilimanjaro are unique over the last 11 millennia.

here’s plenty of fun for music and food fans this weekend, as the Fat Festival adopts an Indian-style atmosphere for its ninth annual outing.

“It’s definitely more special than in previous years,” says Pongnarin “Jong” Ulice, programme director of 104.5 Fat Radio. “Not only have we upped the ante to five stages but we’ve told each of the artists to bring a guest.

“And it’s going to be really attractive too, as it also features a gigantic work of art measuring 300 metres in width and 10 metres in length, which is equal to the size of the hall’s wall,” he adds.

In line with the Indian theme, the five stages sport Indian names, with the main one dubbed Dhoom Dhoom after the hit Bollywood musical and featuring such well-known acts as Lipta, Paradox, Po Yokee Playboy, Crescendo, the Richman Toy, Apartment Khunpa, Playground, Tattoo Color, Friday and Groove Riders.

Majare is the platform for electronica and hip-hop artists featuring Red 20, Ball Jarulak, Ta-Mone, Skalaxy, Da Jim, Tete, Phumijit, Mocca Garden and artists from Smallroom 007.

The Very Best of Roberta Flack Roberta Flack (Rhino Records)

If you’re a fan of the veteran Grammy-winning vocalist, then you’ll enjoy this greatest hits album, whether or not you managed to get tickets for her recent Bangkok show. It features all the hits from her career from the early ’70s including “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, “Feel Like Makin' Love”, “Making Love” and “Oasis”. On this 17track album, Flack also duets with Donny Hathaway in “Where Is The Love” and “The Closer I Get To You”, with Peabo Bryson on “Tonight I Celebrate My Love” and with Maxi Priest on “Set the Night to Music”.

New Moon Various Artists (Atlantic)

The soundtrack album from the “Twilight” saga compiles plenty of originals from indie-friendly bands and is an ideal gift for just about any teenager. It rocks from the opening track, which is Death Cab For Cutie’s excellent “Meet Me on the Equinox”.

That’s followed

by Band of Skulls’ “Friends”, Thom Yorke’s “Hearing Damage”, and The Killer’s “White Demon Love Song”. You’ll also find ballads like Lykke Li’s “Possibility” and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s “Done All Wrong” with an acoustic guitar lament. Muse does a New Moon remix in “I Belong To You”. It might be aimed at the teens but even older listeners will find it an interesting album.

Singing it softly She may be a septuagenarian but American soul singer Roberta Flack can still pack a punch

By Kittipong Thavevong D A I LY X P R E S S

A

recording artist with more than 40 years experience, Roberta Flack was in fine form as she took to the stage last Sunday for her only Bangkok concert. Now 72, her voice and energy levels not be quite as strong as in her heyday but her humour is every every bit as sharp.

Flack at the piano, and backed up by her own band, started with her signature song “Killing Me Softly with His Song”.

That song won her a Grammy award in 1974, a year after she landed the same award for “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, the number that shot her to fame and the soundtrack of Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut, “Play Misty for Me”.

Her repertoire also included hits “Tonight I Celebrate My Love”, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”, “You’ve Got a Friend” and “Where Is the Love” plus several other songs little known to many of the Thai audience members. Flack spent most of the concert singing and sitting at the piano. She stood to sing while still playing as the tunes got faster, drawing loud applause and sang an entire song while on her feet towards the end of the 90-minute show at Central World’s Bangkok Convention Centre.

She drew laughs from the audience, many of them foreign expatriates, with her humour. And she laughed too, turning to check with her musicians whether or not they had already played the number she picked for the encore.

The saxophonist vied with Flack for the loudest applause from time to time with lively solos that enhanced many numbers.

The concert lasted about 90 minutes and featured just 15 songs. That’s short compared to concerts by local acts but for a rare live show by a world-class artist, it was more than worthwhile.

ASTROLOGY

By Eugenia Last

Today’s Birthday: You have to live and act in the moment this year. Strive for perfection and originality and don’t be afraid to be different. You will be at your best when representing something you believe in, so don’t bother with anything that doesn’t move you. Focus, protect and persevere.

Yesterday’s Puzzle Answer Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

ARIES **** March 21-April 19 Put your heart and soul into the development of something you really want to pursue. You will be able to manoeuvre your position to fit your own needs if you have a sound plan.

TAURUS *** April 20-May 20 You have to be upfront about what you want and the way you see things unfolding if you want the same in return. Once you have laid your cards on the table, it will be much easier to strike a deal.

GEMINI *** May 21-June 20 You will miss out if you don’t get involved in something that requires extra hours or taking on work that will prove how valuable you are. This is the perfect time to impress.

Now is the time to travel, share your ideas and launch something that excites you. Plan a little romance for late in the day.

SHOWDOWN Woods, Mickelson renew their rivalry in HSBC Champions AFP, Shanghai

T

iger Woods renews his battle with Phil Mickelson in China this week as Asia hosts its biggest golf tournament ever with the HSBC Champions now elevated to World Golf Championship status.

The last time the world’s top two players met, Mickelson surged to victory at the Tour Championship, leaving Woods trailing in second.

It will be another intriguing showdown at the Sheshan International Golf Club in an event that has attracted a compelling list of the sport’s best players, with a seven million dollar purse.

Mickelson won in 2007 but Woods has only managed second here, in 2005 and 2006.

“I’ve come close a couple of times and hopefully this week I can put my game together and improve on those finishes,” said Woods, who last month became the first sportsman to break through the billion-dollar earnings barrier.

“It is an event that symbolises the amazing progress of golf in Asia and its new World Golf Championships status underlines how firmly China has established its place on the global golf calendar.

“I enjoy playing around the world when possible, and having a WGC event in China is very important to the global growth of the game.”

Mickelson, who finished eighth last year, is relishing another crack at the title. “After The Open Championship, it is hard to think of a bigger and better tournament held outside America,” said the American world No 2. “It gives us the strongest field in our fastest growing and potentially largest market. I’m convinced the HSBC getting WGC status is a truly great thing for our tours.”

As well Mickelson, Woods will come up against Asia’s first Major winner, Yang Yong-eun.

Not only did the Korean beat Woods to claim the PGA Championship but also memorably held him off to triumph here in 2006, setting up an enticing rematch.

“Winning in 2006 changed my career. I don’t think I would

have done the things I have done since without that triumph,” said Yang.

In addition to Yang, the Asian charge is led by India’s Jeev Milkha Singh, Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee and China’s Liang Wenchong, who finished second to England’s Ian Poulter at the Singapore Open on Sunday.

Other Americans teeing off include 2009 US PGA Tour winners Brian Gay, Jerry Kelly and Sean O’Hair, along with Stewart Cink, who pipped Tom Watson for The Open at Turnberry in July.

The European challenge is headed by defending champion Sergia Garcia, current Race to Dubai leader Lee Westwood, world No 4 Paul Casey and three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington.

Garcia said he was excited to be defending his title against so many top players.

“I suppose being defending champion brings its own unique pressure but, actually, I feel more excited than anything else about being back to Shanghai,” said the Spaniard. “I’ll be the defending champion on a course I really enjoy.”

ustralian stayer Shocking denied international contenders Crime Scene and Mourilyan to win the US$5 million Melbourne Cup at Flemington yesterday.

The Irish-bred four-yearold (9/1) finished the two miles too strongly for Godolphin’s Crime Scene (40/1), romping home with three-quarters of a length to spare. South African-trained Mourilyan (20/1) was another one-and-a-half lengths away in third.

The win was a major triumph for Australian jockey Corey Brown, beaten by a nose on English galloper Bauer in last year’s Melbourne Cup. “I’ve had to watch the replay of last year’s race for a year and now I can forget about it. I’ve won the Melbourne Cup,” Brown said.

It was more Melbourne Cup heartbreak for the global Godolphin stable with its third second-place finish in Australia’s iconic horse race.

Crime Scene, Godolphin’s only starter after deciding not to enter Kirklees, now joins Central Park (1999) and Give The Slip (2001) as the stable’s runners-up.

Ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, Crime Scene looked set to draw away inside the final 200m (furlong) but could not go with Shocking and was well beaten at the post.

Arsenal look for knockout win against Alkmaar

MY FUTURE IS AGAINST LYON

ive-time kings of Europe Liverpool could be facing an early Champions League exit if they fail to put massive injury woes behind them to beat Lyon in France tonight.

While Lyon, Sevilla and Arsenal look to build on solid campaigns so far by qualifying early for the knockout phase, the writing is on the wall for Rafael Benitez’s stuttering Reds.

Liverpool’s domestic worries worsened at the weekend when both Jamie Carragher and Philipp Degen were sent off during a 2-1 defeat at Fulham.

It was Liverpool’s fifth defeat in 11 English Premier League games this season but if Benitez is worried at the lack of domestic bliss the Spaniard should be even more concerned about not being able to fall back on, and remain competitive in, the Champions League.

Making tonight’s task harder is the fact Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are both struggling for fitness, while reports claimed yesterday that up to 12 players could miss the match through injury.

If Lyon win and Fiorentina beat Hungary’s Debrecen in Italy, Lyon will remain top of Group E, on 12 points, with Fiorentina on nine. Liverpool, on three points, would then have two games in which to make up what would be a massive deficit.

When Benitez was asked about his future after the Fulham game, Benitez simply replied: “My future is against

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is a doubtful starter against Lyon tonight.

Lyon.” But the under-pressure Spaniard sounds increasingly like a desperate man.

“We have to think about what we have to do now. We have too many injuries and I have to analyse how many players I have available,” he said.

Despite currently playing second fiddle in the French league to champions Bordeaux, Lyon are, in contrast, in rude health as they bid for their fourth group win having beat Liverpool at Anfield last time out.

Lyon coach Claude Puel had Bafetimbi Gomis to thank for the goal which gave his side a 10 win over derby rivals Saint Etienne at the weekend.

And except for one or two

players Puel will have an entire squad at his disposal for a match they can start, theoretically, under no pressure. A draw would see Lyon safely through to the knockout phase.

“It’s good that we won the derby, for us and our supporters. It was our third straight match away from home,” said Puel.

Other than Lyon, Sevilla are the only other side playing tongiht to have won all three games so far.

Having beaten Stuttgart 3-1 in Germany a fortnight ago, Sevilla also have a formidable home record of being unbeaten at home since defeat to Real Madrid in April 2009.

That statistic does not bode

well for Stuttgart, who sit below mid-table in Germany and were dumped out of the Cup by Greuther Fuerth last week.

With two wins and a draw Arsenal sit on seven points and they will qualify for the next round if they take three points from AZ Alkmaar at the Emirates.

After drawing with AZ last time out, Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas said the offence-minded Gunners need to also play tighter if they are to stamp out the kind of mistakes that cost goals.

“Of course we wish we could score four or five goals in every single game, but we must realise that sometimes that is not the way football is.”

Spanish football has reacted with shock to an assault on Fernando Caceres which left the former Primera Division player in a critical condition.

Caceres, 40, was a fast and agile centre-back for Liga clubs Zaragoza, Valencia and Celta Vigo, 1993-2004, and played for Argentina at the 1994 World Cup. On Sunday Caceres, who is now a nursery team coach at Argentine giants Independiente, was the victim of a criminal assault in the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

A gang of criminals, some of them possibly underage, tried to steal his car. It appears that he resisted the assault and was shot in the head. Caceres has been in a coma for two days, and has had his right eye extracted in a difficult operation.

Alejandro Collia, vice-minister for health in Buenos Aires province, said that “he continues in a critical condition...The doctors continue to work to save his life.”

Radio Marca yesterday gave a pessimistic update on Caceres’ condition, and expressed the hope that “he manages to recover from this horror”.

Zaragoza, Valencia and Celta have all sent messages of sympathy and support to Caceres and his family.

Victor Fernandez, Zaragoza coach in the 1990s, said on Television Espanola that “this is terrible news...we are all hoping that Fernando recovers.”

Meanwhile, England striker Wayne Rooney has become a father for the first time after his wife Coleen gave birth to a boy. Kai Wayne Rooney was born on Monday at a hospital in Liverpool. – D P A

ngland international David Beckham re-signed on loan with Italian giants AC Milan as widely expected, the Serie A side announced.

The 34-year-old had already spent time on loan with AC Milan from his American club LA Galaxy from January this year to June and is desperate to make the England squad for next year’s World Cup finals in

South Africa. “I need to give myself the best chance possible to make the World Cup squad and playing for Milan on loan will help me to do that,” Beckham said in a statement on the Galaxy website.

“I genuinely enjoyed my time at Milan and I look forward to meeting the players and staff again.

“I’m thankful to Tim Leiweke and Bruce Arena for

allowing me this opportunity.

I’m committed to LA Galaxy and MLS in the long term and remain as passionate as ever about growing the game of soccer in America.

“I’m completely focused on ending this season on a high note with my club by winning the MLS Cup.” A statement on the Milan website said that Beckham would once again stay at the

San Siro from January to June.

“We are very happy to see David Beckham back in the red and black shirt after the splendid experience we had with him last season,” said Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani. “We’re sure that this spell in Europe will help him to take part in the next World Cup and then continue his career at Los Angeles Galaxy, whom we thank for their help.”

C

hase Utley, who takes pride in playing each game as if it were his last, hit two historic home runs Monday to ensure defending World Series champions Philadelphia had more games to play.

Utley smacked a three-run homer in the first inning and a solo round-tripper in the seventh to power the Phillies past the New York Yankees 8-6 yesterday and lift them within 3-2 in Major League Baseball’s best-of-seven final.

“It was a do-or-die game but I try to prepare the same way no matter when I’m playing,” Utley said. “You go out and play every game as hard as you can.

Sitthi bids to reclaim title Former world champion Sitthi Charoenrit is spearheading Thailand’s challenge in the week-long WBPF Men’s Body World Bodybuilding Championships in Doha, which started yesterday.

Sitthi, who reigned as the 80kg World Amateur Champion between 2005 and 2006, is on a mission to reclaim his title. “I want to become the world champion again but I face tough competition from Iranian, Iraqi and United Arab Emirate bodybuilders. I’m always confident going into a contest but in the end it all depends on the judges,” said Sitthichai.

Utley’s five homers in the 105th World Series matched Yankee legend Reggie Jackson’s 1977 total for the most in any Series and lifted Philadelphia into a sixth game tomorrow at New York, where game seven would be on Friday (both Bangkok times) if needed.

“Obviously it’s great company. At some point, not right now, I will look back on it and see what kind of special moment it is. But right now our goal is to win two more games.”

Only six of 40 Series teams

trailing 3-1 have ever rallied to win the crown, but no Yankees foe in that situation has even forced a seventh game.

Utley and Raul Ibanez smashed homers in the seventh to build an 8-2 edge for the Phillies, who knocked out short-rested Yankee starter AJ Burnett early in the third inning. “If we had pitched, we probably would have won.

That’s the bottom line. AJ struggled,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “I don’t think there was any [short rest] correlation. He just wasn’t able to get it going.”

Southpaw Andy Pettitte, New York’s game-three winner, will pitch game six on short rest if

he is able, Girardi said. The Phillies will start Pedro Martinez, the former Boston pitcher and game two loser whom Yankee fans loathe.

Phillies southpaw Cliff Lee, who won the Series opener, contained baseball’s highestscoring line-up for seven innings before faltering in the eighth, but South Korean Park Chan Ho and Ryan Madson snuffed out a Yankee rally bid.

Utley, who pounded a pair of homers to support Lee’s gameone victory, joined Kansas City’s Willie Aikens from 1980 as the only players with two multi-homer games in the same World Series since the event’s 1903 debut.

THESPORT World No 1 Tiger Woods paid tribute to wife Elin yesterday for putting up with him being away from home as he prepares to win a tournament that has so far eluded him, the HSBC Champions.

Woods said it was getting harder and harder to leave his Florida base now that he has children, but that it was his obligation to be a global golfer and raise the profile of the sport. “That’s the thing most athletes have to juggle, being there for your family while doing what you do on the golf course,” he said, adding that it was all about striking a balance.

“It’s certainly a challenge but I’ve been very lucky to have such a fantastic wife who has been just tremendous with our kids.

“It’s been a lot of fun being around the kids and being part of them growing up. Yes, it is getting harder and harder to leave home and I’m sure it’s only going to get worse as they grow older,” he added.

“It’s part of what we do as athletes unfortunately.

We travel. But as a golfer you have to travel all around the world. It’s part of the job.”

Woods has two young children, Sam and Charlie.

Despite the time away, he made clear that as world number one he had an obligation to help raise awareness of golf in countries like China, where the sport is starting to take off.

“It’s part of our responsibility as players,” he said.

“I have played on every continent except Antartica, and they don’t have a golf course there yet.

But the whole idea is to play around the world. That’s our responsibility as players, as world class players.”

He pointed to China as a place where future growth of golf was unlimited, with the country going from no golf courses 25 years ago to hundreds today.

“The game has grown globally. The inclusion of us being in the Olympics [from 2016] reflects that,” he said.

“The game of golf I think is pretty healthy. We’re getting more grassroots involvement and it’ll be exciting to see what the future holds.”

Woods has played the HSBC Champions twice before, in 2005 and 2006, and came second both times, to David Howell and Yang Youn-eun.

It is now an elite World Golf Championship event and he would love to add the title to his long list of achievements, which includes winning 14 Majors and an incredible 16 of the 30 World Golf Championship tournaments held. “I’ve come close a couple of times and hopefully this week I can put my game together and improve on those finishes,” he said.

“It is a big event.”
