Tiger Woods, also known simply as Tiger, is an American professional golfer. He is considered one of the greatest players of his generation.

Tiger’s father, Earl D. Woods (Earl Dennison Woods), an infantry officer, college baseball player, and writer, was born in Manhattan, Kansas, to African-American parents. Various family rumors have stated that Tiger’s father had Native American and/or Chinese ancestry. It is not clear if this ancestry has been verified/documented.

Tiger’s mother was born Kultida Punsawad, and is from Thailand. Tiger’s maternal grandfather was Thai, and Tiger’s maternal grandmother had a Dutch father and a Chinese mother.

Tiger is a practicing Buddhist.

Tiger has two children with his former wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren.

His niece, Cheyenne Woods, is also a professional golfer.

Tiger’s paternal grandfather was named Miles Woods (the son of Katherine “Kate” Hickman). Miles was born in Louisiana. Kate was the daughter of Henry Hickman and Elizabeth “Eliza.”

Tiger’s paternal grandmother was named Maude E. Carter (the daughter of Lewis/Louis Carter and Hattie). Maude was born in Kansas. Lewis was the son of Valentine Carter and Amanda.

Tiger’s maternal grandfather owned a tin mine in Thailand.

    Your right about that.The problem is you have to know the tribal name,or else you can’t find them on the net.That why people always think of black as one color,instead of and umbrella term

    to chief mulatto native :
    Pure blacks are not black as charbon, sorry !!!! You can have pure black people who are light skinned, there is a lot of african tribes where people are all very light skinned, like other tribe where ppl are completely black skinned.
    I think you should make a trip to Africa to see it by yourself !!!!
    Anyway i heard that tiger woods doesn’t consider himself as black, but asian. I’m not sure about it i was speechless when i knew it .

    • chief_mulatto_native says:

      Those tribes had to mix with some Berbers, Arabs, Semetic, or European people in order to be lighter. They wouldn’t call “Negriods” “blacks”
