Tiger Woods is perhaps the world’s most well known athlete and has increased the popularity of golf immensely since his professional debut in the late 1990′s. Woods is currently the #1 player in the world rankings, and with $110 million in winnings and endorsements from 2008, he is also the highest paid professional athlete.

Tiger Woods was born on December 30, 1975 in Cypress, California to Earl and Kultida Woods. Tiger Woods is credited with not only helping resurrect golf’s popularity and increase prize money, but also breaking color barriers in a sport that has a long history of white dominance. Woods’ father is African-American, Chinese, and Native American in ancestry while his mother is Thai, Chinese, and Dutch in ancestry.

Tiger Woods has won 14 major golf championships, four shy of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 major victories. Woods’ most memorable victory was certainly his first major championship. Woods won the 1997 Masters in record breaking fashion and became the first person of color to ever win the event.

It is the dream of pretty much every golfer to travel around the world, playing the best courses in every country. Whether it is St. Andrews in Scotland, the great courses of Australia, or Pebble Beach out in California, there are some extraordinary places that the average player will never see. With a golf course book, you can see and experience those places in pictures and in stories.

One of the best ways to travel the world in golf terms is through a golf course book. You will get to read about many of the world’s best courses and if you are motivated enough, you can go see these places for yourself. Many people have started out with a golf course book, only to go on and complete their own worldwide golfing adventure a few years later.
