where is tiger wood from?

Question

Tiger wood is the best golf player. I think he's from America.

Answer 1

Woods' father, Earl Woods was a Vietnam War veteran and a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, of mixed Black, Chinese and Native American ancestry. He was the chairman of his son's charitable foundation, the Tiger Woods Foundation, before his death at age 74 on May 3, 2006, following a lengthy battle with prostate cancer (see section Charity and youth projects below). Woods' mother, Kultida Woods, is originally from Thailand, and is of mixed Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry. This makes Woods himself one quarter Chinese, one quarter Thai, one quarter African American, one eighth Native American, and one eighth Dutch[1]. He refers to his ethnic make-up as Cablinasian (a portmanteau of Caucasian, Black, American-Indian, and Asian), a term he made up himself.

Woods' actual given name is 'Eldrick'. He was given the nickname 'Tiger' at birth, after Vuong Dang Phong, a Vietnamese war comrade of his father's, and became generally known by that name. By the time he achieved national prominence in junior and amateur golf, he was simply known as "Tiger Woods".

Woods has two half-brothers, Earl Jr.(1955), Kevin (1957), and one half-sister Royce (1958) from the 18 year marriage of Earl Woods and his first wife, Barbara Woods Gary. Earl Jr.'s daughter Cheyenne Woods (1991)[2], Tiger's niece, is also a golfer and had received some coaching from Earl Sr.

In 2004, Woods became engaged to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model. They were introduced by Swedish golf star Jesper Parnevik, who had employed her as a nanny, in November 2003. They married on October 5, 2004 and live at Isleworth, a community in Windermere, a suburb of Orlando, Florida. They also have homes in Jackson, Wyoming, California and Sweden. In January 2006, Woods and his wife purchased a US$39 million residential property in Jupiter Island, Florida, which they intend to make their primary residence. Woods' Jupiter Island neighbors will include golfers Greg Norman and Nick Price, as well as singers Céline Dion and Alan Jackson. In 2006, Woods was named Forbes highest paid athlete. [3].

There has been speculation that Woods may enter politics when he retires from golf, some even considering him a possible candidate for President of the United States. Since he turns 35 in the year 2010, the first presidential election in which he would be a constitutionally valid candidate will be in 2012. None of this is verified, but Woods has often said himself that he is thinking about turning to politics when he leaves golf.
