Tiger Woods started playing golf when he was two years old. Now he is one of the most famous

and his mother is Thai. His real name is Eldrick, but everyone knows him as Tiger, the nickname
his father gave him.
He started playing golf professionally in 1996 and won all four of the World Golf Championships
before he turned 25. He holds the record as the youngest player ever to win all four of these
championships. Although he has played on many great golf courses, one of Tiger's favorite
places to play is Pebble Beach.
Tiger became a role model at an early age. People look up to him, so he is very grateful. Because
many people helped Tiger as a child, he wants to lend a hand to others now. Some people cannot

himself was prevented from playing golf. Because of this, he created the Tiger Woods Foundation
to help make golf open to everyone. He likes to see diversity on the golf course, and he wants all
