His Father's Son: Earl and Tiger Woods

His Father's Son: Earl and Tiger Woods
His Father's Son: Earl and Tiger Woods. From the time he entered the public consciousness as a two year-old golf prodigy on The Mike Douglas Show, Eldrick "Tiger" Woods has often been viewed less as a human being and more as a ball-striking machine-and his carefully guarded image and emotionless persona seemed to guarantee that it would remain that way.

Even after his recent bombshell adultery scandal, the public still knows very little about the man behind the golf clubs and multimillion-dollar endorsement deals. But one thing is certain: Earl Woods, Tiger's beloved and now deceased father, knew him better and influenced his life more than anyone. So, in this case, to know the father is to know the son.
