3 things you didn't know about Aaron Hick's wife Cheyenne Woods
Cheyenne Woods, the spouse of New York Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks, is a professional golfer. She is well-known golfer Tiger Woods' niece. She has always strived to create recognition through hard work and talent. Cheyenne is also a mother to a young son. Here are three things you didn't know about MLB player Aaron Hicks' wife, Cheyenne:
Cheyenne Woods is Tiger Woods' half-niece
Cheyenne is the half-niece of Tiger Woods, one of the prominent golfers of this era. Curious as to how they're connected? Earl Dennison Woods Jr., Cheyenne's father, is Tiger Woods' half-brother, making Cheyenne his half-niece. On the other hand, Cheyenne has always been open about her desire to forge her own identity rather than being referred to as "Tiger Woods' niece."
Cheyenne once said, "I mean, I get it — he’s one of the most famous human beings on the planet, and we share a last name, as well as a profession. But let me clear something up once and for all: I love my uncle, and I treasure the advice he gives me when we speak every few months, but I am not Tiger Woods. It’s exhausting to live your life in terms of comparisons.
"By doing so, regardless of what you accomplish, you’re never going to appreciate your achievements. I don’t need to be the next Tiger. I just want to become the best version of myself. I’m very proud to be related to my uncle, but it’s not what defines me as a golfer or a person. Yes, my last name is Woods — but you can call me Cheyenne."
