The legend called Tiger Woods
Born on December 30, 1975, Eldrick Tiger Woods is the world’s #1 golfer
from America. He was born to Earl and Kultida Woods. He is of Cablinasian
ethnicity because of his multiracial background as his ancestors belong to
Thailand, China and Dutch. He is a follower of Buddhism. Woods was very
smart from his childhood. He started to play golf from the age of two.
Other than that, he anchored with Comedian Bob Hope on a television
show “The Mike Douglas Show”. When he was five, he appeared on ABC’s
“That’s Incredible” and also on “Golf Digest”. When he was nine, he won
the Junior World Golf Championships for the first time in the youngest
category and following that, he won the title nine more times
consecutively from 1988-1991. At fifteen, he was the youngest to win US
Junior Amateur Champion. He won the same title for the second time the
following year along with the Golf Digest Amateur Player of the Year.
His first encounter with PGA Tour major was in 1995. He won a silver
medal in The Open Championship. He became the youngest to win The
Masters, in April 1997. Tiger won twenty Masters in total. On June 15,
1997, he was honored with number 1 rank in the official World Golf
Ranking. His victory in the Memorial Tournament in June 1999, proved
Tiger as one of the greatest golf personalities in the history. For the
second time he was named the PGA Tour Player of the Year. In 2000 US
Open, with fifteen shot win, Woods broke the record by winning nine US
Open records. After Lee Trevino, he was the second man to win Triple
Crown of Golf in a single year.
His career graph declined a bit in 2003-04. He fell to second position in the
PGA Tour money list and nor did he win a major. He was the number one
golfer for two hundred consecutive weeks, which ended in September
2005. Some said that misunderstanding with his coach Butch Harmon was
the reason to his slump and others blamed the stress on his left knee
which received a surgery. In 2005, he returned to his old form by winning
the Buick Invitational and Ford Championship. He was once again given
the top rank in Official World Golf Rankings. Tiger’s father’s death due to
longtime illness affected him a lot. He took a break for nine weeks and
made a comeback in the 2006 US Open. He got a two stroke victory at the
Buick Invitational in 2007.
Woods was known for wearing his signature red t-shirt in the final match
of his tournaments. His thinking was that it brought assertiveness and
aggression. His individual achievements include official money PGA Tour for
fifty seven times, World Golf Championships for thirteen times and Major
Championship for twelve times. Looking back, he turned into a
professional golfer in August 1996. The same year he earned $60 million
from endorsements of products like Nike and Titleist. The next year he
was named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated and PGA Rookie of
the Year.
Tiger won his eleventh and twelfth professional golf championship at the
age of thirty. Among the list of top 10 in career PGA Tour wins and career
major wins, he is the only player who is active. He received the PGA Tour
Player of the year award eight times and was on the money list for seven
times. Four times he was named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the
Year. He was only one golfer who held the world number 1 title for the
longest time period and for most number of weeks. In 2006, Woods was
the highest paid athlete with an income of $ 100 million from matches and
advertisements.

5, 2004. They bought a $ 39 million property in Jupiter Island, Florida. The
