Choi giving $200,000 to aid

U.S. tornado victims

K.J. Choi is giving $200,000 from his win at The Players Championship to help victims of the tornadoes that ravaged the southeastern United States. Choi says that while winning The Players on Sunday was a defining point in his career, those affected by the tornadoes are going through a low point.

The South Korean won The Players in a sudden-death playoff over David Toms for his eighth career victory on the PGA Tour. He earned $1.71 million. Choi often will give a percentage of his earnings from a PGA Tour event to a local church in the area. He is giving his money to tornado victims through his K.J. Choi Foundation, which he started four years ago to help underprivileged children around the world.
