Tiger faced many racial ordeals throughout his life, mainly because he was half-Thai and half-black. He broke into the sport of golf as one of the youngest. He not only wanted to be the best black golfer; he wanted to be the est golfer. The only way Tiger dealt with racism was to let his clubs do all the talking for him.
