Hats off to Ryo Ishikawa

[Tiger]

Donating all of his 2011 winnings + ¥100,000 to Japan Earthquake Relief Fund. Staggering. 19 years old. What a gesture. What a man.

It's actually ¥100,000 per birdie!! He had nearly 350 last year! Legend!

Fair play to him. That'll be a great chunk of cash.

Very nice to see.

Tiger, from what I read it's actually all of his 2011 winnings (About $2m last year to give an idea) plus 100, 000 Yen PER BIRDIE (350 odd last year!)

Fantastic gesture. He could have donated a hundred grand and people would have still thought he was great. Selfless and humbling. Good on him.

 

[Swinger]

Nice. Great to see a player do this especially one so young.

It's not like he'll be hard up anyway.

Wonder what our guys would do in a similar situation!!

(I'm not getting my hopes up!!)
