This is really sad...Earl will be greatly missed and now not seeing him following his son around on the courses anymore will have a considerable impact too. From reading the article, obviously, he was more than a golf dad...and definitely was truly a great father for Tiger Woods in all aspect of his life. Rest in peace Earl.

Tiger Woods Grieves Over Dad's Death
Tiger Woods's father, Earl Woods, died at his Southern California home early Wednesday morning after a lengthy battle with cancer, the world's top golfer stated in a message on his Web site, saying he was "saddened to share the news." Earl Woods was 74.
"My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply. I'm overwhelmed when I think of all of the great things he accomplished in his life," his son, 30, says in his posting. "He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend."
First diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998, Earl Woods was said to have been in frail health in recent months as the cancer spread. He was too weak to attend the grand opening of the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Feb. 10.
Woods said he spoke to his father the night before the opening, and "he kept telling me how proud he was of what I was able to do, and proud of me for thinking of this. It's hard on all of us," ESPN reported.
Just last month, Woods took a self-imposed break from the PGA tour to be with his dad, saying: "It's kind of up in the air with the situation back home, so I don't know what's going to happen."
Earl, a former Green Beret, and his son had always been close, with Tiger first learning to swing from his dad when the toddler was only 9 months old. When Tiger was 2, Earl had the youngster on TV putting with Bob Hope on The Michael Douglas Show, where Tiger scored a hole in one.
"I wouldn't be where I am today without him, and I'm honored to continue his legacy of sharing and caring," Tiger says on his Web site.
Besides his son Tiger, Earl is survived by his wife, Kutilda, whom he married in 1969.

Tiger's Father, Earl Woods, Passes Away At 74
Tiger Woods says his father, Earl, has died. He was 74.
Earl Woods was a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army who was credited by his son for developing a mental tenacity that led to Tiger Woods' ascension to number one in the golf world.
Earl Woods also gave Tiger his nickname, according to Tiger's Web site, after a Vietnamese soldier and friend of his, Vuong Dang Phong, to whom he had also given that nickname.
Tiger posted this on his Web site: "I’m very saddened to share the news of my father’s passing at home early this morning. My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply.
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.
Thank you to all who are sending condolences to my family and our Foundation. We are truly blessed to have so many who care during this difficult time."

'Greatest role model'
Tiger Woods' dad, Earl, dies after battle with cancer
CYPRESS, Calif. (AP) -- Earl Woods, who was more determined to raise a good son than a great golfer and became the 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."
A habitual smoker who had heart bypass surgery in 1986, Woods was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998 and was treated with radiation. But the cancer returned in 2004 and spread throughout his body.
Last month, he was too frail to travel to the Masters for the first time.
The last tournament Woods attended was the Target World Challenge in December 2004, when his son rallied to win and then donated $1.25 million to the Tiger Woods Foundation that his father helped him establish. The Tiger Woods Learning Center, another vision inspired by his father, opened in February.
Woods decided not to play in the Wachovia Championship this week in Charlotte, N.C. Two of his best friends on tour, Mark O'Meara and John Cook, withdrew from the tournament and flew to California to be with him.
Jack Nicklaus, who also was 30 when his father died, said he had long "admired and related to the close bond" shared by Tiger and Earl.
"My father was my best friend, my mentor and perhaps my greatest support system. Earl was all of that to Tiger," he said.
Earl Woods was more than a golf dad, more than a zealous father who lived vicariously through his son's achievements.
He had played catcher for Kansas State, the first black to play baseball in the Big Eight Conference, and he had been a Green Beret for two tours in Vietnam. But he felt his true purpose was to train Tiger, and he watched his son evolve into the dominant player of his time -- the youngest player to win the career Grand Slam -- and one of the most celebrated athletes in the world.
"I knew Tiger was special the day he was born," Woods said in a May 2000 interview with The Associated Press.
Woods introduced Tiger to golf by swinging a club as his son watched in a high chair. Tiger appeared on the Mike Douglas Show at age 2, played exhibitions with Sam Snead and Nicklaus, and his television appeal was solely responsible for quantum gains in PGA Tour prize money.
Even so, Woods said he never intended to create a champion golfer.
"I make it very, very clear that my purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person," Woods told Golf Digest magazine about his book, Training a Tiger: A Father's Guide to Raising a Winner in Both Golf and Life.
Woods gave his son freedom to develop a love for golf on his own, not letting him play unless his homework was done, making him call his father at work to ask if they could practice. Along with the games they played, Woods taught him to be mentally strong by jingling change in his pockets and warning him of water hazards when his son was in the middle of his swing.
It all worked.
Tiger Woods set records that might never be broken by winning three straight U.S. Junior titles, followed by three straight U.S. Amateurs. At age 30, he already has won 48 times on the PGA Tour with 10 major championships, and he set a PGA Tour record by going seven years and 142 consecutive events making the cut.
In the forward to his father's book, Woods said: "In retrospect, golf for me was an apparent attempt to emulate the person I looked up to more than anyone: my father. He was instrumental in helping me develop the drive to achieve, but his role -- as well as my mother's -- was one of support and guidance, not interference."
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said Woods will be remembered for providing Tiger every opportunity "to become the world's best golfer and an outstanding representative of the game and its values."
Foremost for Woods was raising a son who could influence life beyond golf. Woods was black and his wife, Kultida, whom he met during one of his tours to Vietnam, was Thai and Chinese.
Tiger Woods won twice in his first seven PGA Tour events after turning pro in 1996 at age 20 and was named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Woods predicted greatness for Tiger on and off the course, telling the magazine that his son "will do more than any other man in history to change the course of humanity."
"He's the bridge between the East and the West," the father said. "There is no limit because he has the guidance. I don't know yet exactly what form this will take. But he is the Chosen One. He'll have the power to impact nations. Not people. Nations. The world is just getting a taste of his power."
Perhaps the lasting image of Earl Woods came the next spring, at the 1997 Masters, when he stepped onto the 18th green and wrapped his arms around a 21-year-old son who shattered records at Augusta National, a watershed victory that changed the appeal of golf and sent him to the greatness his father had always predicted.
Earl Woods was born March 5, 1932, in Manhattan, Kan., the youngest of six children. His parents died by the time he was 13.
His father wanted him to play for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro Leagues, and his mother stressed education. Woods wound up going to Kansas State, graduating in 1953 with a degree is sociology.
Woods did two tours during the Vietnam War as a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. It was his second tour that shaped the latter part of his life:
He met Kultida Punsawad, who was working as a receptionist in Thailand, and married her in 1969. He fought alongside Lt. Col. Nguyen T. Phong of the South Vietnamese army, a friend he nicknamed "Tiger" because of his courage and bravery. Woods promised Tiger Phong that he would name a son after him.
Eldrick "Tiger" Woods was born Dec. 30, 1975.
Earl Woods moved to Cypress, Calif., -- to the house where he died -- and set up a makeshift practice range in the garage with a mat and a net, placing his son in a high chair as he practiced.
The education went beyond swinging a club.
"I tried to break him down mentally, tried to intimidate him verbally, by saying, 'Water on the right, OB on the left,' just before his downswing," Woods once said in an AP interview. "He would look at me with the most evil look, but he wasn't permitted to say anything. That's the frustration. He couldn't say a word, but he always had an escape word. He never used it.
"One day I did all my tricks, and he looked at me and smiled," Woods said. "At the end of the round, I told him, 'Tiger, you've completed the training.' And I made him a promise. 'You'll never run into another person as mentally tough as you.' He hasn't. And he won't."
Woods was proud of saying he never left his son with a babysitter, but his goal was to eventually let Tiger run his own life.
"I had pulled back, one item at a time," Woods once told the AP. "Instead of going to several tournaments, it was a couple of tournaments, then one tournament. All of a sudden, he was running everything. I stood there and watched it happen. Because that was my job -- to prepare him to leave."
Besides his wife and Tiger, Woods is survived by three children from his previous marriage.
A private service will be held Friday.

I was always amazed how Earl raised Tiger and how Tiger succeeded at what he's doing. He was taught by his father. I just found out now that he has passed. :sad: I was surprised but I knew he had health problems. May he rest in peace.

GRIEF OF TIGER AS DAD DIES
TIGER Woods was last night mourning the death of his father Earl.
The golf star described the 74-year-old, who lost a long battle against prostate cancer, as "his greatest role model".
He said: "I'm very saddened to share the news of my father's passing.
"My dad was my best friend and greatest role model and I will miss him deeply. I wouldn't be where I am without him."
In 2004, Earl looked to have beaten his cancer after six years of treatment, but it returned.
Tiger, 30, recently took time out to be at his side.

A PGA Tour statement read: "Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to Tiger and his family during this very sad time."
Earl got his son into golf at a young age and nicknamed him Tiger after a Vietnamese soldier he became friends with when he served in Vietnam.

SAD TIGER MOURNS FATHER
World number one Tiger Woods is in mourning after the death of his father Earl, who has lost his long battle against cancer at the age of 74.
Earl Woods had been fighting prostate cancer since 1998 and Tiger recently took a break from the sport after his father's condition worsened.
"I'm very saddened to share the news of my father's passing at home early this morning," said Tiger.
"My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply. I wouldn't be where I am today without him."
Former Green Beret soldier Earl Woods set his son on the path to golfing greatness, and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem was one of the first to pay tribute.
"All of us at the PGA Tour are very saddened to learn of the passing of Tiger Woods' father Earl. Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to Tiger and his family during this very sad time," said Finchem.
"Earl Woods will always be remembered for the tremendous way in which he and Tiger's mother Kultida provided Tiger with every opportunity to develop the physical and mental qualities that enabled Tiger to become the world's best golfer."
Australian Adam Scott also paid tribute to the man who helped prepare Tiger for a magnificent career, which has seen him win 10 majors to date.
"He had a big influence on Tiger and I know he'll be remembered as a great man and a great mentor," said Scott.
"I just wish Tiger and his family my best and hope he gets through this tough time. We'll look forward to seeing him back out here soon."
Earl Woods was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998 and although the disease was initially eradicated by radiation therapy, it returned in 2004.
Last month he was too ill to travel to Augusta to watch Tiger's defence of the Masters - the first time he has missed the first major of the season with Tiger in the field.

Rest in peace, Father of Tiger Woods
I was so saddened by the news of the death of Earl Woods!!! He was such an Icon in Tiger's life. The night of Earl's death, I was watching the news, and saw clips of Earl teaching Tiger how to golf at the age of 2 years old, and look at Tiger now!!! Earl was not only Tiger's Dad and Best Friend, he was Tiger's Soul Mate. Now, Tiger can carry on his dad's legend, and Dad will be watching over Tiger. May you Rest in Peace Mr. Woods. Good night Sweet Prince, you will be missed by so many!!!
