Pedro Tineo can time his reaction to the news precisely. “For the first five minutes I was jumping and celebrating with my parents,” he says. “But then I started to concentrate, and to give the best of myself.” Five minutes of celebration, then straight to work — it may be the most Pedro sentence imaginable.
For him, the game was never optional. “Golf means everything to me, because I grew up with lots of golf players — all my family play golf.” Raised inside the game, Pedro understood earlier than most what a chance like this is worth: “The scholarship is the best thing I could imagine.”
“Golf means everything to me. I grew up with lots of golf players — all my family play.”
His dreams arrive in a rush, and in a telling order. “Beat Tiger Woods. Go to Arizona State — I think it's the best university to study at — and finish my studies too. And maybe win all the majors.” Look closely: university and finishing his studies sit right in the middle of the dream, exactly where the Foundation hopes they'll stay.
Between the International Baccalaureate at Sotogrande International School and elite coaching at La Reserva Club, both halves of that dream — the degree and the majors — now have a real path.
His thank-you speaks for the whole cohort. “I would say a million things — because you have made us the happiest children in the world.”
