Thomson and Nield, both 14, will have a clinic with the world's best golfer and Australian number one Geoff Ogilvy on Thursday during the first day of Woods' Melbourne visit to play in the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath Golf Club.

Thomson and Nield have been invited to the clinic by the State Government and Woods' management IMG in recognition of the impact the Remlaw fire had on Horsham Golf Club in February.

Thomson said he could not believe he had the opportunity to rub shoulders with his idol and Ogilvy.

"When mum told me I couldn't believe it for starters," Thomson said. "She rang me straight after school and I had no idea about it.

"I said: `Are you serious?' and she said `yeah' and I went `oh yeah, sweet' and I was a bit jumpy."

Nield said he would not know what to say when he met Woods.

"What do you say to Tiger Woods?" Nield said.

"I would be like ah, ah, ah, ah..."

The pair said they could not wait for Thursday, but would devise a careful game plan.

"It will be good as," Thomson said.

"We will get there in the morning and watch the golf, but not Tiger. There will be massive crowds around him so we will watch someone else because we are meeting him later anyway."

The duo said the hardest part was finding out on Thursday night and being sworn to secrecy until Sunday.

Thomson: "Something came up about Tiger Woods in class on Friday, and I thought `that would be right'."

Nield: "At the hairdressers the lady was talking about how her husband had front row seats to see Tiger, and I just sat there with a smile."

Two juniors from fire-affected Marysville Golf Club will join Thomson and Nield at the clinic.

Premier John Brumby said the government was pleased to give the young golfers the opportunity.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these young golfers to get up close and learn more about the game from the world's best golfer and Australia's best golfer," Mr Brumby said.
