Cheyenne Woods

That's right; there is another talented golfer named Woods. Cheyenne, Tiger's niece, is eighteen years old and a sophomore on the Wake Forest Women's Golf Team.

This week she will play in her first pro tournament, the Wegmans LPGA, in Rochester, New York. She received a sponsor's exemption which she accepted after conferring with "Uncle Tiger."

As a two year old, she found Tiger's sawed off clubs in her grandfather's garage and began swinging. Her grandfather, Earl Woods Sr., soon recognized that she had talent and began teaching her the basics of the game. She won her first national tournament at the age of 10.

Cheyenne's expectation? "I would love to make the cut and see what I can do from there." (Scott Pitoniak)

No matter how well she does, she will attract many spectators.
