This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 5 times. The weeks in which this happened:

Tiger shot a 48 on the par 31 Navy Course-Cruiser at age three.

The information needs to be refined in Tiger’s main wiki page because the implication is that he was playing a full length 9 hole golf course. Cruiser Course description is available on Navy Golf Course, Cypress CA website. 2600:1700:BA0:9B00:7054:FB50:C9D9:98E1 (talk) 20:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His ancestry

Would one of you gatekeepers please clarify the phrase 'In 2002, ESPN claimed: "For the record, he is one-quarter Thai, one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Caucasian, one-eighth African..."'. The last 'he' mentioned before this is Tiger's father, so it isn't clear whether the 'he' in the quote refers to the father or actually to Tiger himself. I'm guessing the latter, but if I'm mistaken, my apologies. 96.244.220.221 (talk) 01:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

The article has uncited text, including an entire paragraph.
The lead is quite long: is all of this information necessary and in the article body, or can some of it be summarised more effectively?

Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 00:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are uncited statements, including an entire paragraph. The lead is quite long and I think it can be more concise. Z1720 (talk) 14:01, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
