Cheyenne Woods 'What's in a Name?' for The Players’ Tribune

Cheyenne Woods sat down to talk with the The Players’ Tribune, where she shared her thoughts on being Tiger’s niece in a piece titled, “What’s in a Name?” Woods discusses what it is like to have Tiger as an uncle and the often unfair expectations she faces in the sport of golf.

Here are a few quotes from the piece:

On being asked questions about Tiger …
“The first question I’ll get asked is, ‘So, how’s Tiger doing?’ or ‘When’s the last time you talked to Tiger?’ And all I can do is laugh and provide some generic answer that they’d like to hear. At this point it’s all become fairly routine for me.”

On having Tiger Woods as an uncle …
“I love my uncle, and I treasure the advice he gives me when we speak every few months, but I am not Tiger Woods.”

On being Cheyenne Woods and not just Tiger’s niece…
“Of course, I realize that regardless of what I accomplish in my career, there are probably going to be plenty of people who always consider me ‘Tiger’s niece.’ I’m very proud to be related to my uncle, but it’s not what defines me as a golfer or a person. Yes, my last name is Woods — but you can call me Cheyenne.”
