Eldrick Tont Woods, better known as Tiger Woods, born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California, is an American golfer. Considered one of the greatest golfers of all time, he is one of the most popular athletes of the early 21st century.
Winner of 15 major tournaments, he revolutionized the world of golf with his sporting achievements and by attracting a new audience. A prodigy, Tiger Woods began playing golf at a very young age and had an exceptional junior career.
As an amateur, he was watched for his extraordinary talents and turned professional at the end of the summer of 1996. Winner of the 1997 Masters, he became the world number one less than a season after turning professional.
Dominant throughout much of the 2000s, various physical problems with his knees and back forced him to reinvent his game. A commercial figure and the face of Nike, Tiger Woods secured numerous lucrative contracts off the course, making him one of the wealthiest athletes of the 2000s despite scandals tarnishing his private life and marriage in 2009.
In April 2019, at the age of 43, he achieved the feat of winning his 5th Masters at Augusta and his 15th career major title, eleven years after his last major victory. On May 6, 2019, he was awarded the highest civilian honor in the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Donald Trump. On March 8, 2022, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
