When The Ryder Cup was restructured

He set up the Foundation, which he hopes will help children in the same way he was helped by the sport.
"I'd like to use my passion for and devotion to the sport of golf to help children and young people who, just like me, have been struck by cancer or another serious disease or physical disability," he said.
"In doing so, I hope to improve their quality of life by offering them more fun, recreation and distraction in times of hardship.
"Using the special opportunities provided by the sport of golf, including competing without the risks of contact sports, the Foundation's aim is to offer distraction and therapy to children and young people during the course of their illness, to continue to do so following their recovery, as well as to organise golf days in the form of clinics and private lessons in which laughter and fun take centre stage.
"The aim is to introduce as many children and young people with cancer and/or a disability as possible to golf and to organise a great golf clinic day on the golf course as well as indoors with help from the golf simulator, and to offer them a new sports challenge."
When The Ryder Cup was restructured in 2004 with the formation of Ryder Cup Europe LLC, one of the important outcomes was the formation of The Ryder Cup European Development Trust.
