His real name is Eldrick Woods. Tiger got his nickname from a Vietnamese soldier friend of his father, Vuong Dang Phong, to whom his father had also given the Tiger nickname.

Tiger's real name is Eldrick Tiger Woods, tiger is his middle name. This information is all over the internet, i don't know much about this vietnam soldier guy, but his middle name is TIGER

Answer 7

I believe it was simply a childhood nickname that stuck throughout his life. Don't look too much into the race thing. It could also be that he doesn't want to be called Eldridge! I know I wouldn't . hahaha

To the genius above me... his real name is not Tiger.
