Tiger Woods

The golf icon was raised as a Thai Buddhist by his Thai mother and often attended temple with her during his childhood. After his high-profile cheating scandal and subsequent divorce, he cited a renewed devotion to his faith for overcoming weaknesses. He said: “In therapy I’ve learned the importance of looking at my spiritual life and keeping in balance with my professional life. I need to regain my balance and be centred so I can save the things that are most important to me, my marriage and my children.”
