Tiger's niece Cheyenne Woods wins ACC Championship


Someone with a last name Woods is getting the job done and raising trophies in golf. It’s Tiger Woods‘ niece, Cheyenne.

Cheyenne Woods, a junior at Wake Forest University, won the individual ACC Championship on Sunday by seven shots. It’s a dominating win and the biggest feather in Woods’ cap in her golfing career.

Woods opened the day tied with University of North Carolina’s Allie White, but by posting the only round below 70 in the final round, the Demon Deacon pulled away from the field to finish at 5-under 208 for three rounds. Ultimately, Woods helped Wake Forest to finish 4th in the team competition, while UNC won its first ACC team championship in 19 years by beating Duke by 24 shots.

The win is Woods’ first of the year and third of her collegiate career.

Her more famous uncle, Tiger, sent a tweet to congratulate her on the accomplishment.

“My niece, Cheyenne, just won the ACC golf title by 7 shots! That’s awesome, I’m so proud of her,” he said.
