The object of this thread is to tell others about an interesting fact(s) about the aforementioned golfer. Please don't respond to each others posts. Simply state any interesting fact(s) that you know that maybe others won't. This is an experiment and if people are into it maybe we could do other golfers too.
Of course we might as well start off with Tiger Woods.

Remember Facts Only, and Please Don't respond to each others posts. (there is going to be a certain amount of trust involved here that people are stating facts)

Tiger never graduated from Standford. He attended for two years then went on to his golf career.

Once so geeky, Tiger's college friends nicknamed him "Urkel."

I'm pretty sure Tiger drives a Buick.

Tiger plays Nike clubs.

Tiger's clubs have traditional lofts.

don't know if that last one is a proven fact...it's been debated numerous times though.

His best friend is Jerry Chang(sp?)...who caddied for him at a tournament just to make some extra dough. Tiger was helping him out.

Tiger's dad, Earl, played his first round of golf at Dyker Beach in Brooklyn when he was stationed at nearby Fort Hamilton.

(I'm assuming it wasn't Backbreaker Sunday - basically most ridiculous hole locations possible - since he appparently enjoyed himself.)
