Tiger Tees - History of the Term

According to the stories, this is correct. Something to do with a dodgy snake in the jungle.

But dont forget that 'Tiger' is his middle name. His frst name is 'Eldrick'. But that lacks a bit of 'je na sais quoi' imo!

I'm sure I read somewhere that he changed it in law so that Tiger is now his first name.

As for Tiger Tees, I was under the impression that like "Tiger Line" it is a reference to good players, who are "tigers" as opposed to duffers, who are "rabbits".

I remember at one course I played the back tee markers were painted yellow with black tiger stripes.
