Condoleezza Rice will be honored as the 2022 Ambassador of Golf July 7 during the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship at Firestone Country Club.
Having watched PGA Tour events played underneath the iconic Firestone ball even before she took up golf 17 years ago, Rice has designs on playing the famed course, or perhaps the adjoining North or West courses. Who better to consult than Woods, an eight-time winner of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational?
Rice, 67, is now a professor in global business and the economy and director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, which Woods attended for two seasons. She lives across the street from the Stanford golf course and serves as the faculty fellow for the women’s golf team that recently won the NCAA championship. That's just one way she’s growing the game.
“I played with Tiger, he's great fun to play with. But one of my absolute favorite foursomes is each year Bubba Watson and his wife Angie and my friend Lee Styslinger and I play on the Sunday before the Masters. Angie and I take on the boys and until this year we've been winning. This year Bubba sunk a putt on the 18th hole to win.”A: “The first time I broke 80 is my favorite round. I played The Madison Club down in the desert in [La Quinta] California.
Q: Next week is the 50th anniversary of Title IX? What's your experience been like working with the Stanford women’s team and seeing the change? “There's still a lot of work to do around Title IX. We saw the awful circumstances a couple years ago with the women's basketball championships. Who gives the women a locker room that looks like it's not even in a high school and gives the men one that looks like it's an NBA locker room? We have to keep people conscious of what Title IX really requires, and not just the letter of the law but the spirit of the law that women should have absolute equal opportunity.
“I also think accessibility to courses is an issue because just standing on a driving range and hitting balls isn't that much fun. Going on a course is really fun.
