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.

wow, had no idea he had that much asian in him!
Ok, katarina the ‘nordic’ shut up coz u r probably ugly anyway, get over yourself. Now the race thing, my 2 sense and fuzzy bear are right, totaly agree. Black children and women so seem to be put down a lot. What gets to me is that its not only the so called ‘white’ media, its the black media too, how come we never really see a dark beauty in music video ? Why is it that black people that are darker are put down by the ‘lighter’ black people. And about tiger woods, he has obvious identity issues, still the man messed up he’s own life so oh well. In my opinion, all colours and races and shades are beautiful.
U so right sweedy, black people like oppressing each other so much!!! & I like ur polite stance about races… but what is he (Tiger Woods)??? How do u describe him in 1-word – what is he’s race???? u cant just say multiracial.. I mean, we have chinese, caucasian, blacks (like me), Indians.. etc – but what is he??? Or just human maybe??? A human cocktail?
white nordic looking women are the most beautiful women on the planet how can you blame him. Beauty has standards. I’m Icelandic the most beautiful ethnicity in the world:)
hes clearly only a quarter black. People assume that because he’s brown, he must be half and half. But if he took of that hat and people payed attention his hair texture, it would be different. Native Americans can be brown, as well as Asians(thai asians)
@noob
cut the crap,it obvious you don’t know anything,so be quite
@Katarina
No they are not,no one can lay claim to that title
@Katarina
That’s your opinion, and other people have theirs, so shut up because that’s quite offensive to others. Icelandic is half/half to me, now that’s just me. I find no ethnicity ugly, if that’s what your thinking. In my personal opinion, I find Japan, Mexico, and Russia the my favorites, but I wouldn’t say out of the blues “Japan Mexico etc are the most beautiful because I’m Japanese and Mexican, Russian, so guys are more attractive to etc”. That’s not what I think that’s just my opinion
WHat you said is completely BULLSHIT no offense, because what your said was completely untrue, and my quote example was untrue (although I am interested in Japan Mexico and Russia) . Beauty does not have standards, because everyone has different views in what’s beautiful or not, it’s all over the world. Icelandic “nordic” women can have many critics from other people, just like any other ethnicity.
I don’t even get why your stopped by on Tiger Woods page and say that raucous comment. Tiger Woods ex-wife has nothing to do with his ethnicity people!
dont you see hes only mating with white women? if he loved himself he would mate wit women from different types of backgrounds, i doubt he would even look at a black woman
I can tell he has some self esteem issues. Maybe black women teased him growing up. I don’t know. Just making an assumption here. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true.
Why use the verb ‘mate’? hes not an animal. lol
why the fuck you care who he dates anyway? hahaha he’s laughing his way to the bank and your broke stupid ass over is worrying about who he dates/sleeps with. dumbass!
that dude is black n want dilute his race cause he hates himself. period!
He’s Mixed With Black!
