In what city was Tiger Woods born?

Tiger Woods was born in Cypress, California, on December 30, 1975. Cypress is a city in northwestern Orange County, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Woods grew up in Southern California and was introduced to golf by his father, Earl Woods, before the age of two. His early practice included courses around Long Beach, where his father had access through his military service. That childhood exposure helped launch one of the most successful careers in golf history.

A common mix-up is to answer Los Angeles because Cypress is part of the broader Los Angeles region. Anaheim and Long Beach are also nearby Southern California cities connected with Woods' early life, but neither is his birthplace. Cypress is the specific city listed in biographical records.
