An American professional golfer, who is considered as one of the greatest player in the sport's history. He was born on December 30, 1975 (age 39), in Cypress, California, United States. Woods has dominated professional golf since the late 1990s, winning each of the game's four major championships at least twice before the age of 30. At age 15 he became the youngest player ever to win the United States Golf Association (USGA) Junior National Championship. In 1993 Woods won his third consecutive junior national title and had become one of the top players on the amateur circuit. In 1994 he played for the American team at the World Amateur Championships in Versailles, France, and enrolled at Stanford University in California. At Stanford Woods was named Pacific-10 Conference player of the year in 1995 and won the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) individual championship in 1996. Woods also captured three consecutive U.S. Amateur Championships (1994-1996). After the third of these he turned professional, winning two tournaments as a rookie on the 1996 Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour. In the late 1990s Woods became one of the top professional players in the world. His first major victory came at the 1997 Masters, when he set tournament records for youngest champion (21 years of age), lowest score for 72 holes (18 under par at 270), and widest margin of victory (12 strokes). Woods also became the first African American and first Asian American golfer to win the prestigious event. In 1999 Woods won his second major tournament, the PGA Championship. The following year he won nine tournaments, including three straight major titles: the United States Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship. He followed this with a victory in the 2001 Masters, becoming the first golfer to hold all four major professional titles at the same time. Woods finished individual play in 2007 by winning the first-ever FedEx Cup and its $10-million retirement annuity. In his first PGA tournament of 2008, the Buick Invitational, Woods tied Palmer for fourth on the career list, winning handily by eight strokes.
