Tiger Woods is part of a cohort of athletes that America has the right to be proud of. As a world golf star, Woods has grown to become a billionaire. This young man with a remarkable appearance at one time captivated numerous golf fans. Both natural talent and hard training helped Tiger succeed in his work.
From the biography of Tiger Woods
The future famous golfer was born on December 30, 1975. His birthplace is the city of Cypres (USA, Southern California). The real player name is Eldrick Thont Woods. Tiger's father was an officer in the Vietnamese army. He gave the nickname "Tiger" to his son in honor of his friend and colleague.
Woods set his first record at 9 months. This random episode during a golf match was filmed by reporters. After that, little Eldrick got into the Guinness Book of Records. The audience fell in love with a smart little boy. Woods and his parents began to be invited to numerous television shows.
In 1984, Eldrick won the international tournament, which involved children aged 9-10 years. For the eight-year-old Tiger, the organizers made an exception. And they were not mistaken - from that moment the young winner entered professional sport, where he began to confidently climb the steps of achievements.
Golf in the Woods Life
From the outside it may seem that the path to the title of the best golfer in the world at Woods was simple. But only he himself knows how much time, effort and energy he had to put on the altar of achievements in order to achieve such an impressive success.
In professional golf, Tiger made his debut in 1996 in Milwaukee. As a result, he took the 60th position. In the following tournaments, Woods was recognized as the best beginner golfer.
The American showed a truly serious result in 1997. The press spoke about him louder. Gradually the audience was conquered by a promising athlete. Golf lovers liked his playing style, interesting appearance and natural charm.
Already in 2000, Tiger was recognized as the best golf player in the world. The game became for Woods not just a hobby, but a matter of his life and a source of income.
And then a series of failures followed. For a while, Woods sank down in rankings. He even thought about leaving golf and doing military service - following the example of his father. But a year later, Tiger got back into shape and continued to win the sympathy of the audience, the smiles of fans and the prizes of the competitions.
