During an interview, Cheyenne Woods opened up about her true feelings about being related to one of the greatest golfers of all time. “When I was six or seven years old, I thought it was so cool that Tiger was on television, and that he was so successful and everybody knew him,” she said.  “In golf, there weren’t many exciting people to watch, so to see Tiger and know I was related to him made it really cool to play golf.”

There is no doubt about the fact that Cheyenne is an amazing golfer. But some of the credit for receiving extraordinary attention from the fans goes to her name as well.
