This story is about Tiger and his career. Tiger Woods was born on December 30, 1975.His real name is Eldrick, but everyone knows him as Tiger, the nickname his father gave him. His father is African-American and his mother is Thai. Tiger Woods started playing golf when he was two.
He started playing golf professionally in 1996.
Now he is one of the most famous professional golfers in the world. |
Because many people helped Tiger as a child, he wants to lend a hand to others now.
Some people can not play golf because of their ethnicity.
Others do not have enough money.
Because of this, he created the Tiger Woods Foundation to help make golf open to everyone.
He likes to see diversity on the golf course, and he wants all children to play golf if they want to.
Tiger is happy that many children now want to play golf because of him. |
