More DescriptionTiger Woods is a professional golfer widely regarded as one of the sport's all-time greats. He was born in Cypress, California, on December 30, 1975. Woods began playing golf at a young age and was already winning national junior tournaments by the time he was a teenager.
Woods became the youngest player to win the Masters tournament, one of golf's most prestigious events, in 1997, at the age of 21. In 2001, 2002, and 2005, he won the tournament three more times. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Woods dominated the sport, earning him the moniker "Tiger."
In addition to his Masters victory, Woods has 14 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus. He has also won numerous other PGA Tour events and held the world number one ranking for a record 683 weeks.
Woods' personal life has been heavily scrutinized by the media. He was embroiled in a scandal in 2009 after reports of extramarital affairs surfaced, resulting in the breakdown of his marriage. Woods took a break from golf to focus on his personal life before returning to the game in 2010.
Woods has also faced numerous injuries throughout his career, including back problems that have required multiple surgeries. Despite these setbacks, he has continued to compete at the highest level and remains one of the most popular and influential figures in the world of golf.
