Cheyenne Woods is Tiger Woods' half-niece

Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational - Round Two

Cheyenne is the half-niece of Tiger Woods, one of the prominent golfers of this era. Curious as to how they're connected? Earl Dennison Woods Jr., Cheyenne's father, is Tiger Woods' half-brother, making Cheyenne his half-niece. On the other hand, Cheyenne has always been open about her desire to forge her own identity rather than being referred to as "Tiger Woods' niece."

Cheyenne once said, "I mean, I get it — he’s one of the most famous human beings on the planet, and we share a last name, as well as a profession. But let me clear something up once and for all: I love my uncle, and I treasure the advice he gives me when we speak every few months, but I am not Tiger Woods. It’s exhausting to live your life in terms of comparisons.

"By doing so, regardless of what you accomplish, you’re never going to appreciate your achievements. I don’t need to be the next Tiger. I just want to become the best version of myself. 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."

"Cheyenne Woods is more than just Tiger Woods' niece: "He does not define me as a golfer." - @xoNecole
