On December 30, the world welcomed Eldrick T. Woods, famously known as Tiger Woods, in Southern California. Born into a diverse and culturally rich family, Tiger’s lineage is a remarkable blend of heritage: a quarter Chinese, a quarter Thai, a quarter African American, and an eighth each of Native American and Dutch ancestry. His father, Earl Woods, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, played a monumental role in shaping Tiger’s early interest in golf. Earl's military discipline and deep love for the game provided a strong foundation for Tiger’s future path. His mother, Kultida, brought her Thai heritage into Tiger’s upbringing, adding to the unique cultural atmosphere of his childhood.
Raised in Cypress, California, Tiger Woods showed an extraordinary talent for golf from a very young age. The combination of his parents' support, his multicultural roots, and a determined spirit laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most iconic careers in sports history. The beginning of Tiger’s life is not just a birth story—it’s the emergence of a legend destined to change the game of golf forever.
