Tiger Woods' father has died.

Earl Woods, who was more determined to raise a good son than a great golfer and became the role model, architect and driving force behind Tiger Woods' phenomenal career, died Wednesday morning at his home in Cypress, Calif. He was 74.

"My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply," Tiger Woods said on his Web site. "I'm overwhelmed when I think of all of the great things he accomplished in his life. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend. I wouldn't be where I am today without him, and I'm honored to continue his legacy of sharing and caring."

Rest In Peace, Earl.

    aye, Rest in Peace, Mr.Woods. aye, Rest in Peace, Mr.Woods. Anyone that raises his son with so much conviction to be a better man in general, not just a better black man, has high marks in my book. and I don't even like golf!

    I'm a huge Tiger fan and this I'm a huge Tiger fan and this is big. May Earl rest in peace and I'm sorry for his loss. His dad pushed him to be the great golfer and person Tiger is today.
