艾德瑞克?泰格?伍兹是美国高尔夫球手，截至2009年他在世界高尔夫球赛中排名首位，并被公认为史上最成功的高尔夫球手之一。因为在英文中他的绰号“Tiger”的意思是“虎”，所以在中文中经常被称为“老虎”。
泰格?伍兹孩童时就表现出了非凡的高尔夫天赋，他3岁时就击出了9洞48杆的成绩，然后5岁时又上了《高尔夫文摘》杂志。他在18岁时成为最年轻的美国业余比赛冠军，然后又史无前例地在1994，1995和1996年完成了该赛事的帽子戏法。经历了大大小小10多个赛季，泰格?伍兹一共获得62个职业赛事冠军，其中46个来自美巡赛，10个为大满贯头衔。在30岁以前就能获得这么多大满贯赛次的高尔夫选手他还是第一个！而在上一代的高尔夫球王――“金熊”尼克劳斯退役之后，泰格已经成了当今高尔夫球界，无可争辩的王者。从历史上第一个职业高尔夫黑人球员，到坐上世界排名第一的宝座，伍兹只用了不到三年的时间，他也成为用最短的时间实现高球大满贯的最年轻球员。在八年半的职业生涯当中，伍兹已经夺得了42座PGA巡回赛冠军奖杯，他一度让米克尔森(现排名世界第三)这样的对手不得不在与他比赛前“看心理医生以克服恐惧”。
