Recruiting in NCAA women's golf hasn't quite reached the point where it drives the kind of frenzied message board speculation that football and basketball recruiting produce. But the women's golf team at Wake Forest has landed a big-name recruit who will have lots of golf fans talking.
The recruit is Cheyenne Woods, the daughter of Tiger Woods' half brother Earl Woods Jr. She's a two-time Arizona state high school champion, and she picked up golf from the same person who taught Tiger to play: The late Earl Woods Sr., Tiger's dad and Cheyenne's grandfather.
Cheyenne doesn't spend a lot of time with Tiger, but he has given her tips, and she says she knows that as her own golf career progresses, she'll be asked about him more often.
The Charlotte Observer reports:
Via SBB."When I first started playing, my relationship was no big deal because everyone around home knew about it," she said. "But when I started going to national tournaments, I was answering a lot of questions. ...
"Golf is at the center of my world," she said. "But I don't want it to be my entire world."

PUH-LEEEEEZ!!!!!!!
He's making a gazillion dollars now, even as he sits out his surgical recovery period. Is this just another facet of a mega-million dollar money making scheme dreamed up by his ne'er-do-well and greedy agent? Cut us a break......the weekly tournaments without Tiger are getting interesting!!!

Too bad so many AOL "Users" take the time and space to flaunt their racist or simply ugly comments. Stuff like Joe's should be deleted, but never is - too bad. Go get 'em Cheyenne!

Joe's comment about her "big butt" is a comment usually regulated to Black girls and women. Yet, she is a young 17 or 18 year old playing golf, and racist or not, it shouldn't be included on a sports page. This article and picture is about her accomplishments, not her pant size.

Brenda Smith, have you lost your mind? I mean, your comment " ... 'big butt' is a comment usually regulated to Black girls and women," is absolutely insane. What other comments are usually "regulated" (sic) to black people?
