The 82x PGA Tour champion is almost a half-century old! The golfer has shown the world his skills on and off the course, making him a multi-talented and multi-faceted person. Well, the two qualities even reflect in his different birthday celebrations, from spending his birthday on a boat fishing to throwing some vivacious parties.

On 30th December 1975, Tiger Woods was born to Earl and Kutilda Woods in California. Well, when we said ‘almost’ we meant the legendary golfer will turn 48 very soon. On the occasion of Tiger Woods’s 48th birthday eve, let’s take a walk down memory lane and look at the various celebrations of his birthday. The first stop on the list is Woods’s 6th birthday.

Tiger Woods’s birthday in 1981

1. 6th Birthday: At the tender age of six, Tiger Woods took tiny steps and started his golfing journey. His love for the sport is definitely unparalleled. While most of the kids of that age would celebrate their birthdays with a party hat on their heads, little Woods chose to celebrate his sixth birthday on the golfing greens with a club in his hand. In 1981, Woods was accompanied by his father, Earl Woods, to play a 9-hole exhibition match against Michele Lyford Sine in Redlands Country Club.

In 2022, just before the Master, the video was unarchived and posted by the Golf Channel. Little did we know that we would be able to witness many adorable moments of Tiger Woods — the cute face of a six-year-old Woods, his little sighs when unsatisfied with a shot, and see him being lifted up by his father. Although Woods did not take the trophy home that day, on the brighter side, baby Woods did get a piece of cake and celebrated his birthday with his father and Lyford Sine at the very same clubhouse.

2. 21st Birthday: In the 1990s, Tiger Woods had found two close friends in the world of sports who were more like brothers to him. Along with Woods, the trio consisted of two iconic basketball players — Micheal Jordan and Charles Barkley. As per Timothy Bella’s book ‘Barkley’, the three athletes “hit it off immediately.”

One surely can guess what followed when the three celebrated Wood’s 21st birthday together. Woods canceled his birthday golfing plans with friends, which were supposed to take place at the Grayhawk Golf Club, and instead chose to spend time with Jordan and Barkley in Las Vegas. Maybe the young athletes just danced the night away.

3. 25th Birthday: The new millennium saw the band of brothers once again as the trio came together to celebrate Woods’s 25th birthday. The birthday surely was a happening one; as per newsweek.com, Michael Jordan booked a suite at the Atlantic Hotel, which reportedly cost around $25,000. Mr. T. also got a DVD player as a birthday present from Barkley.

After attaining success at the golf course, Woods and friends gambled, played rounds of golf, and puffed some cigars. Surprisingly, Woods even dyed his hair blonde for his birthday week. That’s how the 25th birthday of the legend was celebrated.

4. 42nd Birthday: Along with his love for golf, there is another hobby of Woods that takes up much of his time; fishing. His passion for fishing could be attested when he called in sick and missed an event, but in reality, was fishing with friends. Another time, he missed 2015 The Open’s final round because he was spearfishing as he wrote on his website.

Time and again, Woods has showcased his enthusiasm for fishing and so, it was suitable when he celebrated his 42nd birthday doing just that. In 2018, Woods shared a picture on his X handle of him catching two big fish on his birthday and wrote, “Happy birthday to myself 🙂 Nothing like shooting a cobia and an amberjack.” 

With only a day left before his 48th birthday, how do you think the veteran golfer will celebrate his birthday? Will he go for a night out with friends, fishing, or chilling with family? Share your guesses in the comments!
