Famous Mixed Couples Part 3

"I have found a life partner, a best friend.
You know, Elin’s been incredible for me,"
"She’s brought joy and balance in my life. We love doing the same things.
You think I’m competitive? She’s way more than me."

"Family always comes first. It always has been in my life, and always will. I may sleep a little bit less, and we have to work on that as a team."

Eldrick "Tiger" Woods (born December 30, 1975) is an America Golfer whose achievements to-date rank him among the greatest golfers ever. Woods, who is multiracial, is credited with prompting a major surge of interest in the game of golf among minorities and young people in the United States.

Woods's father, Earl Woods, was a Vietnam War veteran and a retired U.S.Army lieutenant colonel, of mixed black (50 percent), Chinese (25 percent) and Native American (25 percent) ancestry.

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.
He refers to his ethnic make-up as Cablinasian (aportmanteau of Caucasian, Black, American-Indian, and Asian), a term he made up himself.

Woods was born in California US.

Woods's actual given name is Eldrick. He was given the nickname "Tiger" at birth, after Vuong Dang Phong, a friend of his father Earl (the two were comrades in the Vietnam War). Woods became generally known by that name and by the time he had achieved national prominence in junior and amateur golf was simply known as "Tiger Woods."

Woods became engaged to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish Model. They were introduced by Swedish golf star Jesper Parnevik, who had employed her as a nanny, in November 2003.

Tiger and Elin married on October 5, 2004.

Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren was born on January 1, 1980, in Stockholm, Sweden. Her mother, Barbro Holmberg, is a politician who served as migration and asylum policy minister of Sweden, while her father, Thomas, is a radio journalist who has served as bureau chief in Washington D.C. for the Swedish Broadcasting media. Elin has an identical twin sister named Josefin, and the family resided in the coastal town of Waxholm, near Stockholm, while the girls were growing up.
