Who is Tiger Woods?

Tiger Woods is a great athlete, and well on the road to becoming a hero. Before the age of 20, he’ d already attracted thousands of worshippers. For example, Sports Illustrated, the American Bible of sports coverage rarely reserves ten pages to profile a college kid. Likewise, Newsweek heralded Woods’s prodigious talent, declaring in bold print: “He can hit like [Greg] Norman, putt like [Jack] Nicklaus, and think like a Stanford freshman. He’s already the best 19-year-old American golfer ever.” A child prodigy, he was introduced to golf when he was just a toddler of two! He won the Junior World Golf Championships six times and became the youngest ever U.S. Junior Amateur champion when he was 15 years old. He turned professional when he was 21 and won his first major tournament the very next year in a record-breaking performance. Soon he dominated world golf and reached the No.1 position in the world rankings. Over his career, he has broken several golf records and has won 14 professional major golf championships. He is one of the few players—and the youngest—to have achieved the career Grand Slam of golf. He reached the pinnacles of glory during the 2000s when stories of his multiple affairs started doing the rounds.
