His christian name is Eldrick. His father, Earl Woods gave him the nickname Tiger at a young age, and he has since became known by this. The name Tiger is a nickname which Earl had given to a Vietnamese soldier he served with in the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, his friend Tiger was captured an later died in a POW camp.
