Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods, born December 30, 1975, is an American professional golfer. Considered one of the sport's all-time greats and a modern global sports icon, he shares the record for most PGA Tour wins, sits second in men's major championship victories, holds numerous golf records, and is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. After a standout junior, college, and amateur run, Woods turned pro in 1996 at age 20. He captured his first major at the 1997 Masters, winning by a record 12 strokes. By winning the 2001 Masters, he became the only golfer to hold all four major titles simultaneously over a single calendar year, a feat called the "Tiger Slam."
