Live Auction The Legend of the Starfish A vacationing businessman was walking along a beach when he saw a young girl. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The girl walked slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed the beached starfish back into the ocean. The businessman, hoping to teach the girl a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the girl and said, “I have been watching what you are doing. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day.

    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW: TIGER WOODS, ANIRBAN LAHIRI, PAWAN MUNJAL Tuesday, December 1, 2015 JOHN BUSH: I would like to welcome everyone to the 2015 Hero World Challenge. We're joined today with three special guests. I'll introduce, first of all, the chairman, managing director and CEO of Hero MotoCorp, Mr. Munjal. We have our tournament host, Mr. Tiger Woods, and playing in the Challenge for the first time, Anirban Lahiri. First of all, we'll get started with some opening comments from Mr. Munjal. PAWAN MUNJAL: Thank you. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Let me also welcome you all to the Hero World Challenge 2015 here at the Albany in this beautiful Bahamas. I got here yesterday midday, landed exactly at 12:00 noon and drove straight to the golf course, played the back nine. To me it looks very tight and the greens look small, so I don't know what the pros think about the course but I had fun. I had played the front nine when I came here in May for a couple of hours. The course is beautiful and the weather thankfully is also holding on, looking very beautiful. It's a beautiful afternoon. Thank you, Tiger, for hosting all of us. Thanks also to Tavistock, who have been involved with Tiger now for some time in hosting a similar event before this. I remember last year Jordan had flown in halfway across the world from Australia after winning the Australian Open there and then he lifted the trophy in Orlando at Isleworth. I understand he's done the same this year, other than not winning in Australia, but he's flown in from Australia again.
