Eldrick "Tiger" Woods

by Alexandra from Alpharetta, Georgia

"One thing people forget is that Tiger is a dedicated player. When you are the most talented and the strongest and the most dedicated, it doesn't surprise me what he's done." - Lee Trevino

Eldrick "Tiger" Woods is the most accomplished golfer today. He is my hero because he never gives up. Tiger was born on December 30, 1975 in Cypress, California to Kultida and Earl Woods. Eldrick was given his nickname "Tiger" after one of his dad's friends that was a courageous "combat buddy" in the Vietnam War. Tiger donates some of his time to the Tiger Woods Foundation, which helps underpriviledged children. Tiger Woods is an amazing person and golfer.
