The first thing that hits you is the striking resemblance to Uncle Tiger.
Whether Cheyenne Woods has her famous uncle’s golf swing, however, is another story.
But if she performs half as well on the soggy Royal Pines fairways in the Australian Ladies Masters this weekend, as she did in the media room under a barrage of inevitable and obvious questions about the “other” Woods, she might just surprise a few of the tournament’s big names.
Apart from the family likeness, the 22-year-old American rookie shares the Woods’ charisma.
She shrugged off the extra baggage that being related to one of the most recognisable faces on the planet puts on her budding career after graduating from Xavier College with the lowest single-season and lowest career-scoring average (74.3) in the school’s history.
“It’s not that difficult for me – this is normal for me,” she said with a smile.
“I started playing when I was five. When I started playing competitively, Tiger was already out on the PGA Tour, so I’ve always grown up with the name and always had the media attention and everything.
“I’m kind of used to it.”
Asked if she needed a few wins to move out of her uncle’s shadow and establish her own identity, she said she felt she would always be known as Tiger’s little niece.
“I think I’ll always kind of have that title because Tiger Woods has been Tiger Woods for a long time,” she said.
“He’s a very elite athlete. He’s up there with the Michael Jordans of the world, so I think that me coming up in the exact same profession will always kind of have me with that title of being his niece.
“I accept that – I understand it.
“But I’m excited for my own career.”
Tiger’s late father, Earl Woods, scored his son a spot on Ed Sullivan’s TV show with Bob Hope when he was two.
He had a big enough opinion of his granddaughter, Cheyenne, as a toddler to write a letter to sports management giants IMG suggesting they get in early and sign her up.
Masters organisers won’t mind if Uncle Tiger makes a surprise appearance over the weekend to support his golfing niece.
