We love this cute photo Cheyenne Woods posted for her uncle Tiger's birthday

December 30, 2015

On Wednesday, many folks in the golf industry posted on social media about the 40th birthday of Tiger Woods (as if you needed another reminder you were getting older).

One post, however, came from somebody who has a unique connection to Tiger -- his niece, Cheyenne Woods.

Cheyenne, who retained her LPGA Tour card for 2016 at Q-School, is the daughter of Susan and Earl Woods Jr., who is Tiger's half brother. The two have exchanged social-media messages in the past, like when Tiger congratulated Cheyenne on her Q-School success a couple weeks ago, but we especially appreciated this photo that Cheyenne shared with her Uncle Tiger in honor of him turning the big 4-0.

How about that old-school Phoenix Open shirt? We have a feeling Cheyenne has grown out of that.

But we loved the post -- thanks for sharing, Cheyenne. And happy birthday, Tiger.
