Cheyenne Woods, who turned 34 on July 25, 2024, is a longtime playing professional and niece of Tiger Woods. She first met MLB center fielder Aaron Hicks while interviewing him for her podcast, “Birdies Not BS.” Hicks played golf from ages 5 to 13 until switching to baseball, and he credits Woods for vastly improving his short game.
The former Yankees and current Orioles outfielder is a power player on the golf course. Several years ago, Woods shared an impressive ace from Hicks at Scottsdale’s Silverleaf Club on a 303-yeard par-4 – with a 3-wood. The two married in 2022 and now have two children.
A rookie on the LPGA in 2015, Woods won the 2014 Volvik RACV Ladies Masters on the Ladies European Tour. The Wake Forest grad currently doesn’t have status on the LPGA and said she has no designs to play full-time again. She does, however, see herself trying to qualify for another U.S. Women’s Open or compete in an event from time to time.
“After traveling so much by myself on the road away from family, what I truly value most now is waking up and making my son breakfast, even the late-night feeds with my daughter,” said Woods.
“Our family is really what’s most important to me in terms of priority. Not only have I had two kids in the last two years, I lost my older brother last year unexpectedly. That, in addition to the beautiful blessing of kids, has really reaffirmed the importance of family and being there when you can while you can.”
