Cheyenne Woods Is Tiger Woods’ Niece (Photos)
Golf Champion Tiger Woods’ nice, Cheyenne Woods, made her professional debut on Saturday (June 27) at the Wegmans LPGA in Rochester after receiving a sponsor’s exemption. The 18 year-old golfer did not make the cut finishing at 5-over 149 — four strokes above the cutline – but she is ready to make a name for herself.
Cheyenne said: “There is the expectation of ‘Woods. I’ve grown up with it. I’m used to having the title and seeing the headlines read ‘Tiger Woods’ niece.’ But I also want to make a name for myself.”
“My goal was to make the cut, but I thought I played well for the most part,” she said, masking her disappointment with a smile similar to her famous uncle’s. “I was … comfortable out there and then, I don’t know, I just had a lot of fun and just tried to take in the moment.”
A freshman on the highly ranked Wake Forest University women’s golf team, Golfweek ranks Cheyenne at No. 100 out of 2000 female college golfers. Cheyenne is the daughter of Earl Woods Jr., Tiger’s half brother. The young golfer was taught how to play by the same man who taught Tiger everything he knows, her grandfather and Tiger’s dad, the late Earl Woods Sr..

Tiger Woods has millions of fans in Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa with very little golfing tradition and where golfing is now growing like wild fire. Despite the participation of Africans like Clark, Goosen and Els in the international team in the President’s Cup concluded today, most Nigerians cheered the US team to victory because of the Woods factor. The emergence of the young and beautiful Cheyenne, Tiger’s niece on the LPGA scene is an exciting development that will further generate interest in lady golfing in Nigeria that the likes of the fashionable American ”Pink Panthress”, Ochoa the Mexican and young Michelle Wei are already doing. Cheyenne shows a lot of maturity already in her published interview and with the Woods pedigree we expect more exciting days ahead in golfing as she later turns professional in competition with other up and coming promising young golfers like Alexis Thompson, the 14 year old who recently led all the top lady golfers for two days in an LPGA tournament!
