Cheyenne Woods is an American professional golfer. She is also Tiger’s half-niece. She is born to Susan Woods and Earl Dennison Woods Jr., who is Tiger Woods’ half-brother. Her paternal grandfather, Earl Woods, was her first coach and inspiration. Earl Woods was also Tiger’s father.
Thus, it does make sense how they both share the same place for the start of their professional journeys. Cheyenne Woods once touched upon this topic. She said, “My grandfather was the one who really guided me through my junior career. I started golf when I was five years old. Actually, my grandfather’s garage is where Tiger started also.”

She continued, “The ladies European tour was something that I didn’t really plan on going into my professional career but it’s something that worked out perfectly and I wouldn’t have wanted to start my career anywhere else. My goals for my career are definitely to play LPGA to be a consistent contender each week. But mainly just toprove myself that I’m able to do it and I’m not just Tiger Woods niece who gets all this attention.I’ve learned to deal with it and learn.”
Cheyenne has probably taken steps to further that goal already. She staunchly advocates for the growth of golf among female African Americans. She aims at a future where more young African Americans girls win at the Tour.
