The first name that comes in anyone’s mind when we use the term ‘golf’ is Tiger Woods. Even if you don’t know much about golf, the name Tiger Woods would still be most probably pretty familiar to you. That’s because today he has become such a famous icon that almost everybody in the whole world knows him well.
For those of you who probably don’t know much about this family background, Tiger was born on December 30, 1975, in California. He is the only son of parents Earl Woods, who was a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran of African-American, Chinese, and Native American descent, died in May 2006 from cancer, and mother Kultida Woods, partly Thai, Chinese, and Dutch. Tiger has three half-siblings from his father’s first marriage to Barbara Gray Woods. In childhood days he was known as Eldrick Woods.
This young, energetic and highly talented American golfing superstar has always worked hard at making his own identity and proving his talents in this extremely competitive world of professional golf. He has not only succeeded in doing so, but has rather gained the status of a legend today. He is undoubtedly one of the top-most successful golfers in the entire history of the sport. Tiger Woods won his 11th and 12th golf championships in the majors in 2006 while he was just merely 30 years old!
