Earl Woods was a pioneering African-American golfer who helped pave the way for his son, Tiger Woods, to become one of the greatest golfers of all time. Earl was a talented golfer in his own right, winning several tournaments on the amateur circuit. However, his greatest impact on the game of golf came through his son, Tiger. Tiger inherited his father's love of the game and his determination to succeed. With Earl's guidance, Tiger developed into one of the most dominant golfers in history, winning 15 major championships and 82 PGA Tour events.

Earl began playing golf at the age of 15. He quickly showed a natural talent for the game and began winning tournaments at the local level. In 1951, Earl graduated from high school and joined the Army. He served in Korea for two years and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service.
