He's partially asian of which that Asian heritage is traced to Thailand; he's also partially black of which that heritage can be traced back to somewhere in Africa.
Glad I could clear that up. :D
Has anyone here ever had a hole-in-one?
According to Dave Chappelle, he was drafted by the Whites in the Race Draft.
Or whatever.

He is not black. Not white. Not Thai. He is Tiger Woods a new breed. From a land I have never been, called birdie land. Things are easy there. Not like where I live, bogey land. On occasion I vacation to par land.

Since there are lots of black boxers, why aren't there more black hockey players? They are both VERY physical sports.
I don't think we're supposed to be talking about this.

"Woods' mother, Kultida Woods, is originally from Thailand, and is of mixed Thai (50 percent), Chinese (25 percent), and Dutch (25 percent) ancestry.
This makes Woods himself one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter black, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch.[2]
He refers to his ethnic make-up as Cablinasian (a portmanteau of Caucasian, Black, American-Indian, and Asian), a term he made up himself."

well that all depends on the rate of decay.....i'd put him at more like 43% Am. Indian....
What gets me is some are starting to refer to him as the greatest athlete of all time. Greatest golfer, easy, but no way any golfer could be the greatest athlete in general.

eh, I think you can't really say that until his career is over. I think if he goes on to win 35 majors and 190 tournaments then you could make a case for greatest athlete of all time.

there's a fair amount of athleticism required to have a golf swing that good
not just anybody can do what he does.......i would say that makes him an athlete
Athletes play sports, golf is a game. Tiger couldn't carry the jockstrap of someone like Michael Jordan, Joe Washington, Jim Thorpe, or Derek Jeter.

would you call a place kicker an athlete?
would you call a baseball player who only DH's an athlete?
i would submit to you that Tiger Woods, with his frame and level of fitness, if properly trained in any sport - could likely be competitive
he chose to play golf (with a "little" help from his father)....
what is the definition of athlete?

I have heard this assumption made by many sports people, saying he could have been really good at whatever sport he chose. He just happened to go with Golf, and is re-writing the record books.

someone who plays in a sport that doesn't include Craig Stadler(sp?)?

Athletes play sports, they don't walk around hitting a little ball with a stick.

baseball is a game.
everyone even refers to it as a game. THE GAME OF BASEBALL.
You gonna tell me that Kurt Rambis was an athlete? Manute Bol?
You should have to run at some point for it to be a sport.

yeah, in baesball they just stand there and hit the ball with a stick. And they can hit it anywhere they want. And then they run a little. :D

I've seen Hale Irwin run.
in fact, he went from football to golf...and standout football even.
All those examples require some sort of rapid motion from one point to another, golf never does.

if you can drink beer while you do it then it is not a sport. It is also not a sport if it is always judged and/or you have no interaction with other 'teams'.
thank you and goodnight. ;)

found this definition:
an individual who demonstrates skill in a sport, trains and competes as part of her/his regular routine or career goal
Don't get me wrong, I love/hate golf as much as anyone, but no way in hell is it a sport or should its participants be called athletes.

I don't think EVERY golfer is an athlete, but there are some in there. Just like not every Basketball player or Baseball Player is an athlete.
