Describes the life and career of the African-American golf prodigy, giving information on his early life, the influence of his parents, and the relationship between celebrity and the media. While golf is seldom thought of as a sport for minorities, Tiger Woods has made the sport appeal to a whole new demographic. When only a teenager, Woods accomplished many junior records in golf and enjoyed unusual attention for a young person. While not yet thirty years old, Woods' impact on American culture goes beyond the world of sports.
