Tiger Wods

While many people would consider Tiger Woods to be multi-ethnic, Woods clearly took his stand on toward African golfers when he won the 1997 Masters. He placed his victory in the context that this has been the largest victory for African golfers. By saying this he has become one the most influential people for the African golf movements. Woods turned professional in 1996 and has not looked back since. He rapidly climbed up the golf rankings and has established himself as one of the two best golfers of all time. After winning the 1997 Masters Woods was quick to point out that his accomplishment was just a continuation of the previous African American golfers prior to him. IT was also known that Woods had mentioned that the previous African golfers had and unfair advantage because they were denied access on the PGA tour.
