However, in 2017 Tiger explained the back story of this and revealed how it almost caused him a serious injury. “Last Year, I burned my face off trying to dye my goatee, which is never going to happen again,” said Tiger.

“Kids absolutely love it. They love when I do something crazy. It provides something that our family does each and every year.” Moreover, Woods said that he will continue to dress up like this even after his kids get older.
