Tiger Woods is one of the athletes that America can be proud of. As the star of world golf, Woods has grown to become a billionaire. This remarkable-looking young man has captivated numerous golf fans in his time. Both his natural talent and hard training helped Tiger achieve success in his business.
From the biography of Tiger Woods
The future famous golfer was born on December 30, 1975. His place of birth is the city of Cypress (USA, Southern California). The player's real name is Eldric Tont 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 casual episode of a golf match was filmed by reporters. After that, little Eldrick got into the Guinness Book of Records. The audience fell in love with the smart little boy. Woods and his parents were invited to numerous television shows.
In 1984, Eldric won an international tournament where children aged 9-10 years old participated. For the eight-year-old Tiger, the organizers made an exception. And they were not mistaken - from that moment on, the young winner entered professional sports, where he began to confidently climb the steps of achievements.
Golf in Woods' life
From the outside, it might seem that Woods' path to being the best golfer in the world 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.
Tiger made his professional golf debut in 1996 in Milwaukee. As a result, he took 60th position. In the following tournaments, Woods was named the best beginner golfer.
The American showed a really serious result in 1997. The press started talking about him louder. Gradually, a promising athlete conquered the audience. Golf lovers loved his style of play, his interesting appearance and natural charm.
Already in 2000, Tiger was recognized as the best world-class golfer. The game became for Woods not just a hobby, but his life's work and a source of income.
And then a streak of failures followed. For a while Woods dropped down in the rankings. He even considered leaving golf and pursuing 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 the fans and the prizes of the competition.
Personal life of Tiger Woods
Golf lovers began to attack the young athlete early in his career. Ladies of different ages and social status went to any tricks in order to gain the location of a talented handsome man. Here's one example: Duchess Sarah Ferguson, in order to shoot a story about a black golfer and get a closer look at him, turned into an ordinary reporter.
Models with charming appearance have repeatedly asked Tiger to give them a series of golf lessons. For the sake of communication with Woods, tennis player Monica Seles left her husband. I must say that Tiger did not often deny attention to fans. Most often, he found time and energy to communicate with beauties.
In 2004, Woods married the beautiful Elin Nordegren. This marriage has three children. Alas, this did not make the golfer an exemplary family man and faithful husband. Reporters during Woods' family life caught him in dozens of adultery with women of different professions and social status. In 2010, Tiger's wife filed for divorce. As a result, they broke up. I must say that the divorce significantly reduced the state of the loving golf master.
