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 father’s recent ancestors are all listed as “Black” on U.S. censuses.

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.

    South East Asia’s original people were black, similar looking to Papuans or Australian Aboriginals…same goes for Thailand, Singapore, Philippines were black ( search Ati people), – almost every country in South East Asia…the Chinese came down and slaughtered the natives to the extent of extinction to many of the original natives..GENOCIDE 101

      According to wikipedia, South Asia is a caucasian region. Original people from everywhere were blacks (homo sapiens), they just adapted to climate developing different physical characteristics.
