Who the hell names their kid Tiger anyways?
Said the same thing about “Sitting Bull”.
His real name was Eldrick - Tiger was a nickname.
A few years ago he changed it to Tiger permanently.
Some people have nicknames like that where it becomes their real name, like Earvin "Magic" Johnson for example.
“Who the hell names their kid Tiger anyways?”
This comes from Wikipedia, but I have heard the same story many times before.
“At birth, Woods was given “Eldrick” and “Tont” as first and middle names. His middle name, Tont, is a traditional Thai name.[17] He got his nickname from a Vietnamese soldier friend of his father, Vuong Dang Phong, to whom his father had also given the “Tiger” nickname.”

His name is Eldrich, I think.
