What is Tiger Woods' birth date?

What is Tiger Woods' birth date? Tiger Woods was born on December 30, 1975.

Woods was born Eldrick Tont Woods in Cypress, California, a city in Orange County near Los Angeles. His mother, Kultida, gave him the first name Eldrick, combining the initial of his father’s name, Earl, with the initial of her own name. “Tiger” became his familiar name in honor of his father’s close friend, South Vietnamese soldier Vuong Dang Phong, who was nicknamed Tiger.

Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida Woods, although he has half-siblings from his father’s earlier marriage. His father was an African-American former U.S. Army officer and Vietnam War veteran, while his mother was from Thailand and had Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry.

Woods began attracting national attention as a child golfer, turned professional in 1996 at age 20, and won the Masters the following year. The date is sometimes confused with the end-of-year holidays, but December 30, 1975, is the canonical birth date recorded in biographies and official sports references.
