Pro-Golfer Kyoung-ju Choi and his "Share of Love"

Choi spoke at a KBS press conference on Wednesday to talk about his donation of $100,000, or $1,000 each to 100 people, in a special program called "Miracles of Sharing- KJ Choi and his 100 Angels".

Said K.J., his foundation has benefited many and those experiences led him into this program. He would like to experience personally through 100 recipients the sharing of love.

"The Bible says even if you have abundance of ability in you, you will accomplish nothing without love. I am happy to be able to make a contribution." said Choi.

KBS TV aired the special 2-hour live broadcast nationwide over the weekend on a popular show called "Love's Request", and showed how KJ Choi's Foundation has touched the lives of the recipients.

The program also showcased KJ's early childhood days to his success as a world class golfer. Various Korean celebrities and singers joined KJ Choi on stage as they performed songs and participated in some KJ Choi trivia and a putting game. To the surprise of many, Choi also demonstrated another talent - singing. Yes, Choi can sing.

"I consider myself fortunate receiving a great deal of love from so many people in my life, and I am very happy that I actually participate in the 'Share of Love' program."

Choi established his foundation last year and has helped misfortunate neighbors and disaster-stricken people. He had also participated in a charity golf tournament to help needy children last year.

Just a couple of months ago, K.J., who has lived in the Woodlands, Texas with his family for the past five years, was struck by the damage caused by Hurricane Ike and decided to take action. He donated $100,000 of his FedExCup bonus pool money to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund. "As a Houstonian I felt the impact of this storm first-hand, along with my neighbors and hope my donation will help my fellow residents get back on their feet." PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem said, "The scope of the devastation on the Gulf Coast is tragic, we commend K.J. for his generous donation and commitment to the community he calls home."

K.J. Choi and his family also celebrated the 1-year anniversary of their K.J. Choi Foundation over the weekend, which included silent auctions of K.J. Choi autoraphed memorabilia.
