Earlier this week, Tiger Woods unveiled his first golf course design when El Cardonal opened at the private Diamante Cabo San Lucas Club in Mexico. ESPN caught up with Tiger to get some "inside scoop" on his design:


As much as Tiger enjoyed having his first design finally open, he told ESPN's Bob Harig that he isn't losing focus:

"I'm not going to design that many golf courses like Jack did. That's not my intent. I'm only going to do a few at a time. I'm still in the peak of my playing years and I'm still concentrating on winning golf tournaments and winning major championships.

"I just don't have the time, with family, to try and do all that and try and design 15 courses around the world. I want to do a couple here and a couple there and give them my entire input and time."

Whatever the case, Woods is not finished working at Diamante; owner Ken Jowdy has retained Woods to design a third 18 and a separate short course at the club.

"It's an endorsement when you want to continue working with him and you realize what he has brought to us. You just have to look to our members and see the excitement he has brought to this. I don't think anyone else can move the needle like he has for us. For whatever reason, Tiger brings it to another level."

Good for everyone involved.
