Living up to the dream of his father, Tiger Woods has steadily climbed the ladder of success to become one of the greatest golfers of all time. However, he isn’t the only contribution of the Woods family to the golfing world. Walking in the footsteps of Tiger Woods is his half-niece, Cheyenne Woods.

Being the niece of Tiger, Cheyenne has been a prominent name in the golf world ever since her debut in 2012. However, what shines isn’t always gold. Apart from the positives, the surname ‘Woods’ has also driven the 32-year-old into a worrisome state. Something, she brought to light in the year 2020.

Cheyenne Woods highlights the impact of being the niece of Tiger Woods

Four months after failing to make the cut at the 2020 Women’s Australian Open, Cheyenne indulged in a conversation with a media house. During the conversation, she admitted, “I thought if I just pretended it didn’t bother me, it wouldn’t – but I learned that I truly did have to address it.”

Daughter of Earl Dennison Woods Jr., Cheyenne was far from touching the success of her half-uncle Tiger Woods at that moment. However, that didn’t pull her back from time and again giving a glimpse of her potential. Needless to say, the potential also helped her in developing her own individuality.

During the conversation, she further elucidated her way of rising above the tag of ‘Tiger Woods’ niece” to explore her own individuality. “I had to see for myself that I am a person, a golfer outside of being Tiger’s niece, before anybody else can see that as well, she said. “I know why I am doing this, I know who I am. I had to disregard what people wrote or said. I’m doing this for me”

Dealing with the tag to rise up as a better individual

As one says, ‘maturity comes with experience’. Similar was the case with Cheyenne. Despite all the downfalls, the Arizona born golfer made sure to not only have a cordial relation with Tiger but also find a way to look out for the positives of being his niece. Something, that ultimately resulted in her growth as a better player.

““I have had those moments of wishing I was Jane Doe. But listen, it has helped me. I have been able to have conversations with Tiger, have doors and opportunities open to become a better player and person. At one point I wanted to prove everybody wrong. Now I see the positives.”

Two years since the interview, Cheyenne Woods continues to walk on her path of success. In April last year, she, along with baseball star Aaron hicks gave birth to their son, Cameron Jaxson Hicks. On the other hand, her uncle, Tiger Woods, is making the final touches before his much anticipated return to the game later this year.
