    ^Yeah its pretty clear he wants nothing to do with his Mother's home country. But, it's also clear he's into big titted blondes which aren't common here so there's that..

    I remember that as well and his father was black American and his mother was born in Laos.

    No Thai blood actually if what I have heard is true.

    Pisses me off that a non-thai half cast who can hit a golf ball gets an offer that people who really contribute here for years has to jump through hoops to become a permanent resident let alone become a Thai national.

    And it obviously is "a story".

    Tiger Woods returned to his mother's home country for a four-man charity skins tournament on Monday and left soon after winning only one hole in another disappointing performance. Colombian golfer Camilo Villegas won the most money at the World Golf Salutes King Bhumibol Skins Tournament at the Amata Spring Club in Chonburi province, taking five skins for $109,800. Paul Casey won nine skins for $92,400, and local golfer Thongchai Jaidee claimed three skins for $90,000. Woods earned only $6,600 for his skin and left the country right after the event on his private jet to Melbourne, where he will defend his Australian Masters title starting Thursday. It was Woods's first trip to the homeland of his mother, Kultida, in 10 years. She did not accompany him due to health problems. In a skins tournament, players compete for a reward for each hole, with prize money added to the next hole in case of a tie. The prize money of $900,000 will be donated to a charity foundation associated with Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The event is part of celebrations marking King Bhumibol's 60th year on the Thai throne. Woods made a visit early Monday morning to the ailing 82-year-old king, who has been at a Bangkok hospital for more than a year. The golfer did not meet the king but signed a get-well book at the hospital.

    If it was somebody else I would have sympathy, but him I couldn't care.

    From what I gather that's based on his mother's country wanting nothing to do with a local married to a black foreigner and their half black foreign born kid.

    Until he was number one in the World and then they were wine, dine, sixty-nining the best Thai golfer in the World.

    Just watching a short highlight clip makes you wonder how he could repeatedly hit amazing shots day after day, week after week and year after year.

    Apparently his father Earle drove him like a warrior even before he turned 10 and he didn't have much of a childhood.

    The thing I remember most about Woods is when Thaksin offered him an honouree Thai citizenship and he turned it down.
    I never was a fan in his early years, but he seems a lot more humble since his fall from grace. In a lot of ways, his career mirrors that of Andre Agassi. Both had overbearing fathers who drove them from an early age. They both found success early. Both came off as cocky little assholes, when they were in their teens. They both had problems with women, and drugs, and both of their careers were considered over, before they turned things around. Agassi fell to 150th in the world, before climbing back to number one. Woods won the Masters in 2019, after many considered his career to be over.

    Hope he fully recovers, and is able to play again. He’s good for the game.


    Below is an interesting article about his trip to Thailand in 2000.

    How is he not Thai? It’s not a “offer“. It’s a birthright.

    It's not a 'birthright', actually as it can be both or either a nationality or ethnicity

    If one of your parents is Thai, you’re a Thai citizen. Is that not a birth right?

    Whoops, you're correct. My apologies.

    I was looking at Thai ethnicity rather than having a Thai parent.
