Eldrick Tont Woods (born 1975), who goes by his nickname, Tiger (which he later changed to his legal name), is a professional golfer. He has won only 1 major golf tournament in the past ten years. In his career, he has won fifteen majors, second only to Jack Nicklaus' record haul of eighteen. On October 27, 2019, Woods tied Sam Snead's record of 82 PGA Tour victories, but has not won any more since then.^[1] Patriotic, Tiger Woods reportedly declined an offer of $700-800 million to join the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV in order to remain with the American PGA organization.

Tiger Woods repeatedly declined attempts by the liberal media to elicit criticism of President Donald Trump, who presented Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom on May 6, 2019, in honor of Woods' victory at the Masters after a long drought.^[2] As of March 2026, Woods is reportedly in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, who is the mother of five grandchildren of President Donald Trump by virtue of Vanessa's 13-year marriage with Don Jr., which ended in 2018. When Bill Clinton was the president in the 1990s, Tiger Woods famously declined an invitation by Clinton to meet him at the White House.

Woods' 2000-01 run of four consecutive major titles is the greatest of the modern era. Dubbed the "Tiger Slam" by the media, he won the 2000 US Open, the 2000 Open Championship, the 2000 PGA Championship and the 2001 Masters. It is currently the closest any golfer has come to replicating Bobby Jones' true (single season) grand slam of the 1930 Open Championship, 1930 US Open, 1930 US Amateur, and the 1930 British Amateur (the major titles of his day).^[3]

By 2000, Woods became the most overpromoted favorite of the liberal media in the world. He had estimated 5-year endorsement deals worth $100 million with Nike, worth $30 million apiece from American Express and Buick, and $2 million apiece from Rolex and Wheaties.^[4] He appeared frequently on magazine covers and Nike ads, despite a gap of eleven years without winning a major tournament until he regained the Masters title in 2019. At the Masters in 2013, he was given merely a two-stroke penalty for a rules infraction that many felt should have resulted in disqualification from the tournament.^[5]

In 2012, the liberal media declared Woods to be a favorite to win the Masters. In fact, he turned in his worst performance there in seventeen years, and his swearing and kicking of a club were captured by a camera. After he learned that people did not appreciate that, he declared:^[6]

“

I certainly heard that people didn’t like me kicking the club. I didn’t like it either. I hit it in the bunker, and it didn’t feel good on my toe, either.

”

Despite showing promise of becoming the greatest golfer ever, Woods's career and athletic achievement slumped amid reports of adultery. His wife subsequently obtained a divorce.^[7]

He has had five knee operations, including the removal of a benign tumor and also a cyst.^[8]^[9]^[10]

LIV

Tiger Woods reportedly declined an early offer in the range of $700 to $800 million to join the LIV golf tour, which began play in 2022.^[11] However, that report was based entirely on hearsay, and it is unclear if that offer was a firm offer and if it remained available after other golfers were signed on for much lower compensation.
