Tiger Woods says he's employed a different tactic in preparation for The Turkish Open. Not practicising at all.

He put the clubs into storage for a couple of weeks and spent some time with his family.

The world number One smashed ten golf balls across the Bosphorus Bridge to publicise his involvement in the tournament in Antalya. The American was criticised in some circles for only travelling to China for an exhibition and not playing at either Shanghai events.

He says he needed of some R and R and spent some time with his daughter who was not feeling well. Woods, himself, has caught a cold as you'll hear.

"I know that, they are are trying to promote the golf around the world and as I explained earlier, I think the inclusion of the Olympics has changed the dynamics of how we think about golf. There are other countries that are not getting more involved. China has been unbelievable what they have done in the last 12 years, and the number of kids that have come through the programmes and see, little kid like Guan (Tianlang) you know make it to Masters at age 14. That is what is coming, that is the next wave of kids. Give them 10 to 20 years and you are going to see certain countries start to dominate the game of golf." Tiger Woods said.
