Short introduction
Eldrick “Tiger” Woods is one of the most successful golfers of all time. At the age of two, he appeared on television as a magical golf for the first time. During his career, he solved many notes and showed that golf was not only white elite sports. He helped golf to be more popular outside the United States.
Early life
Tiger Woods was born in Cypress, California to Kultida and Earl Woods. His father – Woods still called the only idol – was Vietnam veteran and Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army. He was also very enthusiastic about golf which came into contact with sports very early.

From 1991 to 1993 he was the winner three times the amateur title of the US junior. From 1993 to 1996 he broke another record while also won the title of amateur men three times in a row.
From 1994 he was part of the Stanford University Golf Team, which he won the title NCAA. Before moving to a professional camp, he studied the economy for two years.
Career
Given the tremendous development of success as amateurs, Woods began his professional career with the highest expectations. As a result, the main sports goods producer such as Nike offered an unprecedented advertising contract even before the first tournament victory.
However, it does not take long for forests to meet the success of sports. After three months, he could celebrate two tournament wins on the US PGA tour, which made him get the title “Rookie of the Year”.
In April 1997, Woods made a large breakthrough with his first big victory at the US Masters, which he defined a number of records. For example, Woods is the youngest winner with the lowest score to date and the biggest advantage over pursuit packages.
Because Woods often seemed to outperform competition at a young age, he was immediately compared to Legend Golf Jack Nicklaus, who had 18 big wins during his career. As a result, Woods is mainly measured by the victory of the main titles.
Woods made a second big victory in 1999 at PGA Championship. The record for breaking records at the US Open and open Britain was followed in 2000. Woods had won each of the four main tournaments at the age of 24 years. Ten further big wins were following in the 1990s.
