Early Life and Career

Tiger Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. He began playing golf at the age of two, and by the time he was 12, he had won numerous junior tournaments. Woods turned professional in 1996, and he quickly became one of the most popular and successful golfers in the world.

Woods won his first major championship, the Masters Tournament, in 1997 at the age of 21. He went on to win three more majors that year, becoming the youngest player to ever win the "Tiger Slam" (all four major championships in a single calendar year).

Woods continued to dominate the golf world in the early 2000s, winning multiple major championships and spending a record 683 weeks as the world's number one ranked golfer. However, injuries began to take their toll on Woods in the mid-2000s, and he underwent several surgeries on his knee and back.

Personal Scandals

In 2009, Woods was involved in a car accident that led to the revelation of multiple extramarital affairs. The scandal damaged Woods' reputation and led to the loss of several major sponsorships. Woods took a break from golf to focus on his personal life, and he did not return to competition until 2010.

Woods has struggled to regain his form since his return to golf. He has not won a major championship since 2008, and his world ranking has dropped to 11th.
