Swing along at the tee with Tiger

Sporting legend Tiger Woods is heading to Beijing to teach his swing to young golf enthusiasts in the capital. The star of the fairway will tee-off in the city on Wednesday as part of a promotional tour of Asia.

The Nike "Make It Matter" Tour will see Woods promote golf to China's youth through a series of workshops teaching the theory of how to achieve a hole in one and how to train for an athletic competition.

The 35-year-old winner of 14 professional major golf championships, bested only by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, will arrive in the capital on April 13 after presenting awards for a youth golf competition in Shenzhen, where he will take part in an invitation-only panel discussion for students, faculty and Nike associates at Beijing Sports University.
