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.

He could pass as Cambodian, Filipino, or Malaysian.
his kids look mexican!!
It clearly says he is Dutch too….
neiltennant is an ignorant dumbass. I HATE WHEN DUMBASS PEOPLE SAY ‘OH WHY U ACTIN WHITE’. just because someone is educated and isn’t a hoodrat/thug, that means they want to be white? fuck that shit. there are some ghetto ass white people who act black (aka wiggas/wiggers).
Tiger looks like what you’d get if a Martian mated with an alley cat lol
Tiger hates his black side, funny how he tries to milk his little white decent. Sure he’s mixed, but when you see him, you’re gonna assume he’s just black, unless if you have psychic powers to automatically deduct all his other roots. He’s 50 % black. Hard to believe he’d be accepted by Thai people as black as he is. But his dream is to be white, even those called him the ‘whitest black man they’ve ever seen ‘
He looks Asian & Black to me, like what he is.
