Tiger Woods's Kevo

With a considerable amount of golfing experience for such a young man, Eldrick “Tiger” Woods has had an outstanding start since becoming a professional golfer in 1996. Woods, who began hitting a golf ball at the age of two, became the world's most dominant player the summer of 1999, winning six of his last nine starts, including the PGA Championship and the prestigious NEC Invitational. And to put icing on the cake, he was a member of the U.S. Team that won the 33rd Ryder Cup.

Woods, at the age of 21 years, three months and 14 days, was the youngest Masters champion ever (1997), and won by a record margin of 12 strokes. He also was the first major championship winner of African or Asian heritage.

His accolades are many and one of the most notable is when The Associated Press chose Woods as the 1997 Male Athlete of the Year. He was only the fifth golfer selected since the award was started in 1931.

Woods has put together one of the most impressive amateur records in golf history, winning six USGA national championships plus the NCAA title, before turning professional on August 27, 1996, eight months past his 20th birthday. He concluded his amateur career by winning an unprecedented third consecutive U.S. Amateur Championship with a record 18 consecutive match-play victories.

Woods has been recognized as the "first" and "youngest" player in many events. In 1991, at age 15, he was the youngest-ever winner of the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. He became the first to win that title twice in 1992 and won for a third time in 1993. At age 18, in 1994, he was the youngest-ever winner of the U.S. Amateur, rallying from six holes behind with the greatest comeback in the history of the event. He won the U.S. Amateur for a second time in 1995. He is the only player in USGA history to have won both the Junior Amateur and Amateur titles.

To relax, Woods enjoys riding his bike along the beach.
