If you’ve been thinking that Tiger Woods was given his unusual name at birth, you’re wrong.
As another outletGolf News Netexplains, Tont translates, albeit loosely, to “beginning,” in English.
Where did the nickname ‘Tiger’ come from?
However, Tiger wasn’t the famous golfer’s only nickname years ago.
“My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born.
He rarely ever called me Tiger.
I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’
He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam,'” Tiger explained toPeoplein 2007.
They also share son Charlie Axel (viaBiography).
