By all accounts KJ is a great person and well liked on tour

Pretty cool to see a guy from South Korea donating to tornado relief in Alabama

You should put this in the SEC rant since there are a lot more people from the South posting and viewing that section of the website. All I can say is KJ = awesome.

I knew I liked him for some reason. I always have thought of him as a class act.

“When I heard the news about the tornadoes, not long after the Japan tsunami disaster, I knew I had to do something help them as well,” said Choi, who will distribute the funds through his foundation.

“While winning The Players Championship was a defining point in my life, there were those who were going through their low point. I want the victims of the tornadoes to know that their misfortunes will not be ignored.”

Wow. That's fricking awesome.

Before picking up golf Choi was a competitive power lifter, being able to squat 350 pounds as a 95 pound 13 year-old teenager, thus aptly nicknamed "Tank" by South Koreans.

It refreshing to hear news like this. Good for KJ. I never had any reason to like or dislike him before reading this (although if it wasn't for him, my man David Toms would the reigning TPC Champion)... Now the choice isn't a difficult one.

I was also pulling hard for Toms, but I am much happier that someone like Choi won and not a douchebag.

Awesome...I've always heard people that run in to him in the Woodlands rave about how ridiculously nice he is. This just confirms it. He defines being a class act.
