Tiger Woods began his remarkable career in 1997, when he became the youngest man and the first African American to win the U.S. Open.

Tiger Woods won the prestigious Masters Tournament on April 13, 1997, making golf history. The triumph set numerous records. Woods, who was 21 at the time, was the Masters Tournament's youngest winner. He trounced the rivals with a competition-beating score of 270 for 72 holes. He finished with the largest victory margin in the tournament's history, with a twelve-stroke lead. The fact that Woods, an ethnically diverse individual, became the first non-white champion of the Masters helped to disprove many stereotypes and opinions regarding minorities in golf.

Tiger Woods, who won the Masters at the age of 21, became the youngest champion ever and the first golfer since Jerry Pate in 1976 to win his first major championship. Woods took the lead in the Augusta Golf Classic in 1997 and then put on a never-before-seen golf clinic.

The ESPY Awards and the Associated Press named Woods Male Athlete of the Year in 1997.

He won the PGA Tour's top prize five times in 1999. More importantly, Woods broke through social barriers by being the first African American and Asian American to win a major championship. Woods gained dual citizenship from the Thai government before to competing in the Asian Honda Classic in 1997 (his mother, Kultida, is half Thai and a quarter Chinese). Even non-golf fans throughout the world have fallen in love with and are fascinated by Woods. Because of his charisma and good looks, he rose to prominence as an international star and a strong proponent of golfing equipment and apparel.

Prodigious Golfer Woods was reared in many ways like a typical middle-class American guy. He developed a taste for fast food and a passion for video games. He also spent a lot of time acting ridiculous for his father's video camera. There is little doubt that golf was his primary preoccupation as a child. He spent a lot of time improving his swing and competing in youth tournaments. When he was eight years old, Woods won his first official competition. From then on, he was virtually unstoppable, winning honors and breaking amateur records all over the place. By the time the young prodigy enrolled at Stanford University as a freshman in 1994, he had almost reached mythical proportions in the media.

Early Years Eldrick Woods was given the nickname "Tiger" by his father Earl, a former Green Beret in the army, when he was a toddler on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Earl's life was rescued several times by a South Vietnamese officer simply known as "Tiger." When he was little, Woods was one of the best junior golfers ever. He putted against Bob Hope on The Mike Douglas Show (1961) at the age of two, shot 48 for nine holes at three, and was featured in "Golf Digest" at five. In southern California, Woods won several major juvenile titles. After winning three consecutive U.S. Junior Amateur titles in 1991, 1992, and 1993, he won three consecutive U.S. Amateur titles in 1994, 1995, and 1996. He turned pro in the summer of 1996, and the game has never been the same since. Woods once stated, "Golf is a sport for white men dressed as black pimps," and he meant it. Hockey is a white man's sport. Basketball is a sport for African-American men."

Woods created history once more with his record-breaking triumph in the US Open in June 2000. Open. Woods was the first player to finish at 12 under par, tying Jack Nicklaus for the lowest score (272) after 72 holes, and his 15-stroke victory margin set a major championship record. Woods completed the career Grand Slam of the four major championships on July 23, 2000, becoming the youngest player in golf history to do so. In 1930, Bobby Jones completed the only calendar-year Grand Slam by winning the US Open, British Open, US Amateur, and British Amateur championships.) Woods won by a comfortable 8 strokes, finishing 19 strokes under par. In 2001 and 2002, he won back-to-back Masters titles.

After a winless streak of ten major championships, Woods won the Masters and the British Open in 2005. The following year, he dominated the tour, winning nine events, including the British Open and the PGA Championship. He won his 13th major title after successfully defending his title at the latter competition in 2007. Woods won his third US Open championship in his first matchback on the tour in 2008, two months after having knee surgery, completing his third Grand Slam of his career, a feat only Nicklaus had accomplished. Woods' stunning performance in the U.S. His Open victory, which included an 18-hole play-off round and a sudden-death play-off, aggravated the injuries to his knee. The following week, he withdrew from the remainder of the 2008 golf season to undergo more extensive knee surgery.

He has won a few tournaments since returning to the game in 2009, but he has yet to win a major championship for the first time since 2004. Also in 2009, Woods lost the PGA Championship despite being two shots ahead going into the final round, breaking a previously unheard-of streak in which he had never lost a major tournament when leading or coleading after 54 holes.

In November 2009, Woods was involved in a one-car accident outside his Orlando, Florida home. As a result of the crash's unusual circumstances, his personal life was subjected to considerable public investigation. Woods, who married Elin Nordegren in 2004, was discovered to have a number of extramarital affairs, and his adultery - which clashed with his solid-citizen reputation - became public knowledge. This reputation has helped him earn hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsements throughout the years.

In January 2017, he made his first PGA Tour outing in 17 months. However, he only played in one tournament before stating that he will have more back surgery and miss the rest of the 2017 season. When Woods was arrested in May 2017 on suspicion of driving under the influence of a combination of sleep and pain medications, his personal life grabbed headlines once more. Later, he admitted to receiving "professional assistance" to regulate his prescription intake. Woods returned to the PGA Tour in January 2018 and finished the entire season.

He completed his extraordinary comeback from a spate of ailments that threatened to destroy his career by winning the Tour Championship in September, his first victory in five years. Woods stunned the golfing world by winning the Masters for the first time in 14 years in April 2019. He did this while simultaneously breaking the previous record for the longest interval between victories in that competition and moving up to second position in terms of age to earn a green jacket behind Jack Nicklaus. Later that year, Woods won the Zozo Championship, capping off an incredible season. With his 82nd Tour victory, he tied Sam Snead's record.

Woods' father died. Woods endured a significant personal tragedy when his father died in May 2006 after a fight with prostate cancer. At the time, Woods said on his website, "My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply."

Despite his anguish, Woods returned to golf and won several tournaments, including the PGA Championship and the British Open. 한국야동
