Tiger plays charity skins in India
-- NEW DELHI -- Tiger Woods made 10 birdies at Delhi Golf Club but failed to win a skins game, according to a golf website.
According to a Golfingindian.com report on Tuesday, Woods and Hero Motors chairman Pawan Munjal lost the charity skins game to Shiv Kapur and Anirban Lahiri. Kapur played at Purdue and once competed at the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone.
Woods made his first visit to India as a guest of Munjal and later tweeted about it.
Great day of golf. Hopefully this visit, in some small way, helps grow the game in this amazing place. http://t.co/2sxRITkmRp

India newspapers reported Woods received about $2 million for the appearance. The event was closed to the public.
In a video posted on the website, Woods says Delhi Golf Club was the narrowest course he has ever played and that he was nervous on some of the tee shots. Woods says he hopes the exhibition helps junior golf in India.
