Mixed Tiger Woods

 

Tiger was born in Cypress, California to Earl and Kultida Woods. He is the only child of their marriage but has two half-brothers, Earl Jr. and Kevin, and one half-sister, Royce from the 18-year marriage of Earl Woods and his first wife, Barbara Woods Gray.

 

 

Earl, Tiger’s father, a retired United States Army lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran, was of mixed African American (50%), Chinese (25%) and Native American (25%) ancestry. Kultida, his mother, originally from Thailand, is of mixed Thai (50%), Chinese (25%), and Dutch (25%) ancestry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This makes Woods himself one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch.

 

 

Since his mother is Thai, when Woods came to Thailand for a tournament in 2000, the Thai officials tried to bestow on him royal decorations, and even offered him Thai citizenship. Woods politely turned them down. Woods has a niece named Cheyenne Woods who is a promising amateur golfer at Wake Forest University.

 

Let’s wait and see.
