Tiger Woods
Golfer; fifteen-time major champion
The prodigy who broke golf's colour line — then broke every record in it.
The rise
Born Eldrick Tont Woods on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California, he appeared on television at two and won the U.S. Amateur three consecutive times. His 1997 Masters victory — by twelve strokes, at twenty-one — remade professional golf's demographics, economics and global reach.
