See p. 605 for the letter I wrote Tiger." Includes a copy of Savic's memoir. President George H.W. Bush was a frequent guest at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.

The two days Bush spent with Savic are recounted in the book, A Wonderful Run at Life: The Stories of Pandel Savic (2016). While the visit was short, the two shared stories of their time during World War II and the young career of Tiger Woods. Pandel Savic died in 2018.
