Tiger Woods, born Eldrick Tont Woods, received his first name from his mother, Kultida, who selected “Eldrick” to pay tribute to both his parents—incorporating “E” for his father, Earl, and concluding with “K” for herself. His middle name, Tont, represents a traditional Thai name. During Woods’ childhood, his father affectionately dubbed him “Tiger” in homage to a comrade and friend who shared the same moniker. In 1997, Tiger Woods achieved a historic milestone by becoming the youngest individual and the first African American to secure victory at the U.S. Masters, initiating a remarkable and pioneering professional golf career.
