After successfully establishing myself as a valuable team member and writer for the organization and the golf division, I, Riya Singhal, have now taken on the role of a Content Analyst at EssentiallySports. In my second inning here, I continue to write for the golf division just as zealously as before. One of my biggest moments in ES came during my early days, when my piece about Brooks Koepka?s heartwarming gestures towards a young fan at the Masters quickly rose to the top of the charts.
I firmly believe in advocating for women in sports and agree with many LPGA stars, including Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, who have said that women in golf deserve the same recognition as men. While not working on taking the golf division to new heights alongside my team members, I love reading fiction and can be found exploring the grounds of Hogwards in spirit.

Tiger Woods berated his son, Charlie, as the father-son duo practiced swinging and teeing off during the PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. It was a friendly banter between the two, a video clip of which was posted by TWLEGION on its X handle. In the video, it was seen that Woods Jr. swung and hit the bat, and the golfer didn’t quite like it despite sporting a smile. “We’re ending on that right there; that was nasty! f****** nasty,” said Woods. He doubled down on the nasty remarks, but all as light-hearted banter. It was sort of Charlie forcing his father to show his “nasty” side on the course with his words, although it was sheer enjoyment. The PNC Championship’s Pro-AM tournament teed off at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in South Orlando on Thursday, with 20 professional golfers and a family member accompanying them. Tiger Woods and his son Charlie, who are making their fourth appearance this year, are the star attractions, amongst others.

Charlie Woods's recent show at the 2023 PNC Championship forces his father, Tiger Woods, to bring forth his "nasty" side!

I am Shamik Chakrabarty, and my sports journalistic journey, while driven by my
passion for English, began as the next best alternative to being close and
personal to the sporting world once it became clear to me that pursuing a career
in sports was not an option. Hence, trading my Callaway driver for a keyboard,
I've taken to enriching a reader's experience with my words as a Golf writer at
EssentiallySports. Having already spent a quarter of a decade in the industry, I
have had the privilege to cover many live events, including five ICC World Cups,
one soccer World Cup, and even some big golf events, at historic locations like
the RCGC. My career highlight, however, was writing for the Wisden Almanack. Now
focusing on my love for golf and living by my maxim of "staying young by heart
forever," I intend to reach out to every golf fan through ES, in this time of
social media boom, and further my stance as a journalist.

<h2>Charlie Woods 2023: Career Wins, Net Worth, and Endorsements</h2>
Tiger Woodsâ€™s young cub burst into the scene at the 2020 PNC Championship. A soccer fan since his childhood, Charlie Woods veered towards golf at a later stage. And now, the 14-year-old has quickly established himself as a bankable linksman in his school, netting individual and team titles.
<h2>Which school does Charlie Woods go to?</h2>
Charlie Woods is a freshman at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The private school, located in North Palm Beach, boasts a student count of 964 as per U.S. News, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 8:1.

The schoolâ€™s sports team is known as the Benjamin Buccaneers. Notably, Charlie Woodâ€™s sister, Sam Woods, is also on the Buccaneersâ€™ roster. However, the elder sister prefers soccer over golf.

[caption id="attachment_2480649" align="aligncenter" width="3721"]<img class="wp-image-2480649 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-17T172228Z_1755756377_MT1USATODAY22125496_RTRMADP_3_PGA-PNC-CHAMPIONSHIP.jpg" alt="Charlie Woods" width="3721" height="2481" /> Dec 17, 2023; Orlando, Florida, USA; Charlie Woods plays his shot from the first tee during the PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.

Benjamin School was also home to Florida State Seminoles quarterback Jordan Travis, Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Berube, and Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Alam. The school also lists Jack Nicklaus and Barbara Nicklaus as its trusted emirati.
<h2>How has Charlie Woods performed for his school?</h2>
Woods, despite being 14 years old, has a trophy in his cabinet that his 82-time PGA Tour winner father doesnâ€™t. And Charlie Woods is mighty proud of that, as was evident from his gleeful smile at the 2023 PNC Championship.

Charlie Woods played a pivotal role in his schoolâ€™s final victory at the Florida High School Athletic Association Class A state championship. The Benjamin School Buccaneers notched a one-point victory at the State Championship after coming from behind.

Woods Jr. scored 78 and 76 in two rounds during the Mission Hill Resort outing, in the presence of his father. Individually, Charlie Woods finished in the 26th position on the leaderboard. Woods Jr. was the fourth-best performer for his school on the five-man roster.
<h2>The individual achievements of Charlie Woods</h2>
How good is Charlie Woods? What does his performance show? For a 14-year-old golfer who is burdened with his fatherâ€™s imposing legacy, Charlie Woods has performed fairly well.

Woods Jr. sniffed the title first in 2020 at the Links Tour Jonathanâ€™s Landing at Old Trail in the South Florida PGA Juniors age group of 9â€“11. But Tiger Woods, after watching his son dominate the Hurricane Tour, promptly shifted his son to the Junior South Florida PGA Tour, where the competition is tougher. Moreover, Woods Jr. is also in the age bracket of 13â€“18 on the Medalist Tour.

[caption id="attachment_2480682" align="aligncenter" width="3611"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2480682" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-16T180706Z_1083927976_MT1USATODAY22117197_RTRMADP_3_PGA-PNC-CHAMPIONSHIP-1.jpg" alt="Charlie Woods" width="3611" height="2407" /> Dec 16, 2023; Orlando, Florida, USA; Charlie Woods plays his shot from the sixth tee during the PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

So, 2021 went without any titles for the young Woods on the Challenge Tour. Next year, Woods failed to break into the top 20 from his four outings. Last year, the 14-year-old teed off in eight events on the Medalist Tour.

Out of his eight appearances, the top-10 finish came in three with his best performanceâ€”a tied 5th place finishâ€”coming in at the SFPGA Tour Championship last month. Charlie Woodsâ€™s scoring average of 76 puts him in 60th place on the season-long leaderboard. But thatâ€™s a decent performance considering Woods Jr. is still on the younger edge of the age group he is participating in.

Woods Jr., however, carded his best round at the regional qualifier for the Notah Begay Hill Junior National Championship. With Tiger Woods on the bag, the teenager shot 8-under, 64 at the Mission Inn Resort in Orlando. Charlie Woods fluttered off nine birdies in the final round to qualify for the national championship.

At the National Championship, however, the 14-year-old failed to clinch the title. Again, with the 15-time Major Champion caddying for him, Charlie Woods carded a bogey-free final round to pose 2-over 215. The teenager settled for a tied 17th position in the 14â€“18 age group.
<h2>PNC Championship performance</h2>
The world first got to witness Charlie Woods in action at the 2002 PNC Championship. The family outgoing has become a regular for the father-son duo. In their first outing, Team Woods finished in eighth place on the leaderboard. But in the 2020 outing, Charlie Woods got the limelight more because of his elite-level trash-talking with family friend Justin Thomas than this on-course performance.

That soon changed the next year, as the young Woods and Tiger Woods made 11 birdies to give the winning team, Team Daly, a hot chase until the final round. Charlie Woods had to settle for a runner-up finish. Next year as well, the Woods team finished in the 11th spot.

[caption id="attachment_2480663" align="aligncenter" width="4382"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2480663" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-17T224822Z_14821765_MT1USATODAY22127525_RTRMADP_3_PGA-PNC-CHAMPIONSHIP.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods 2023 PNC Championship" width="4382" height="2921" /> Dec 17, 2023; Orlando, Florida, USA; Tiger Woods watches as his son Charlie Woods (right) putt rolls up to the cup during the PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

2023 was when the world got to admire Woodsâ€™s game as well as his uncanny mannerisms and similarities with his father. A buffed-up Woods Jr. drove a 300-yard drive at the Ritz Carlton Golf Course. If that were not enough, the 14-year-old also chipped a slow putt that drew a smile on his fatherâ€™s face. Although the duo once again failed to net a victory, Charlie Woods showed promise.
<h2>Charlie Woods's net worth</h2>
Charlie Wood has not signed any Name, Image, or Likeness deals yet. But the 14-year-old is heavily linked with Greyson Clothiers. In fact, the brand reshared a story posted by Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, on their Instagram page, welcoming the young prodigy to their team.

However, the apparel brand deleted the post eventually, throwing the golf world into further confusion. Also, a point in the matter is that the teenage Woods sported Greyson apparel in the 2023 PNC Championship. The brandâ€™s wolf emblem was seen on the back of Woods Jr.â€™s apparel during the final round. However, there has not been any confirmation from either side yet.

<h2><b>Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-tiger-woods-parts-ways-with-nike-fractured-deal-becomes-a-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which came to an end after a 27-year partnership</a> that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023.

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-where-does-tiger-woods-live-inside-his-54-million-mega-mansion-with-two-private-docks-tiger-woods-house-jupiter-florida-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property</a>.

Woods also bought both his parents' houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl's names.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.

From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

Tigerâ€™s father, Earl, was his inspiration to play the sport and was also the one who taught him how to play the game. His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years.

In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he's now known as.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids</b></h2>
Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods's heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006.

[caption id="attachment_936305" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-936305" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1021662-1.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods with his father and mother" width="1920" height="1372" /> 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand. Mandatory Credit: David Cannon/ALLSPORT[/caption]

Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961.

Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Dating History</b></h2>
In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-what-does-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-do-for-a-living/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elin Nordegren, a former model</a>. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-where-is-she-now-and-what-caused-the-downfall-of-their-relationship-update-tiger-woods-ex-wife-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went through a very public and scandalous divorce.</a>

Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin.

Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lindsey-vonn/">Lindsey Vonn</a>. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles.

Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Awards and Achievements</b></h2>
Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead.

Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date gotten his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships.

The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-crazy-fitness-routine-that-made-him-a-golf-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tons of training, and rigorous hard work</a>,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods Documentary</b></h2>
All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport.

The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Car Accidents</b></h2>
Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as <em>â€œserious.â€</em>

Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him.

In February 2021, Woods was yet again involved in a car accident. Due to a speed crash, his car had flown off the road. He was the only party involved in the accident. The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career Tiger Woods&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements. Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, which came to an end after a 27-year partnership that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023. Golf &#8211; 150th Open Championship &#8211; St Andrews, Scotland, Britain &#8211; July 10, 2022 Tiger Woods of the U.S. during a practice round REUTERS/Paul Childs Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property. Woods also bought both his parents&#8217; houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl&#8217;s names. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies. From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy. By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years. In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he&#8217;s now known as. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods&#8217;s heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006. 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand. Mandatory Credit: David Cannon/ALLSPORT Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961. Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Dating History In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, Elin Nordegren, a former model. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they went through a very public and scandalous divorce.

Messerschmidt/Getty Images) Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin. Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â Lindsey Vonn. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles. Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Awards and Achievements Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead. Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

(Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date gotten his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships. The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, tons of training, and rigorous hard work,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself. Tiger Woods Documentary All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport. The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Car Accidents Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as â€œserious.â€ Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him. In February 2021, Woods was yet again involved in a car accident. Due to a speed crash, his car had flown off the road. He was the only party involved in the accident. The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them. Yet the PGA Tour star found the resolve to compete in major championships in 2022. Woods&#8217;s health struggles continued as he withdrew from the Masters in April 2023 due to a re-aggravation of his plantar fasciitis. After nearly an eight-month-long hiatus, the 82-time PGA Tour winner made a comeback at the Hero World Challenge in December 2023. The Tiger Woods Foundation, Charity Work, and Philanthropy Tiger and his father, Earl, started the TGR Foundation back in 1996. It was first set out with the goal of helping children play the sport. But 27 years later, the foundation now aims to educate children on all fronts.
