Who knew Tiger Woods had an absolutely gorgeous niece and get this she's emerging in the Woods family as the newest pro golfer. Get to know her folks, meet 21-year-old Cheyenne Woods!
Cheyenne Woods qualified this week for the upcoming U.S. Women's Open, which will be held in early July.
After four years of playing for Wake Forest University, Woods will make her professional golf debut next week at the Wegmans LPGA Championship as she gears up for the Open.
Get to know about the newest golfing sensation:
Her biggest golf influence: According to her Wake Forest athlete profile, Woods says her mother has had the biggest impact on her game. Why? "Because she was my chauffeur everyday for my golf lessons and taking me to tournaments during junior golf." Her musical tastes are surprising, too – at least her early interests. "The first concert I ever attended was the Spice Girls when I was in about third grade," she says. "And I actually dressed up as Scary Spice and, um, yeah." Today, the self-described music lover she says she has to listen to a great song before she tees off so it can be in her head for the whole round.
Her Wake Forest records: Pairing academics and athletics as a communications major and All-American golfer at Wake Forest University, Woods graduated after setting a record for the lowest scoring average in school history. She also won the ACC Championship last spring.
Cheyenne and Tiger had the same first coach: Tiger and Cheyenne were both introduced to golf by Earl Woods, Sr. – his father and her grandfather – who died in 2006. Cheyenne and Tiger are related because she is the daughter of Earl Woods, Jr., Tiger Woods's half-brother.
