Born in California on December 30, 1975, he was named Eldric Tont Woods. His father Earl named him Tiger, after a Vietnamese officer who saved Earl’s life several times.

The club cover in his bag was made by his mother and inscribed with a message of love in Thai from his mother. Thanks to her, he wears a red shirt on the last day of each tournament, as she felt that it is his power color.
