Tiger Woods was a two-time first-team All-American at Stanford in the 1990s.
A two-time first-team All-American, Woods won 10 intercollegiate events including the 1996 Pac-10 Conference and NCAA Championships. In 1996, he posted the lowest round in school history -- 61 -- at the Pac-10 Championships. Woods owns Stanford's lowest career stroke average at 71.1.
"It's a great honor to be included in the 2009 Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame class," said the 33-year-old Woods. "I want to congratulate the other honorees. I had a wonderful time competing at Stanford, was challenged in and out of the classroom, and developed many life-long friendships. The university helped me grow as a person and an athlete, and I will always be grateful."
Others members of the 2009 Hall of Fame class are: Patrick McEnroe (tennis); Mike Mussina (baseball); Tommy Vardell (football); Dick Horn (football); Lisa Sharpley-Vanacht (volleyball); Wade Flemons (swimming); Monal Chokshi (track and field); and Kathleen McCarthy-Scrivner (golf).
Woods, a winner of 14 major championships and 94 tournaments world-wide, will also serve as Stanford's honorary captain on Saturday. He will speak to Cardinal players before the game and accompany team captains to the center of the field for the pre-game coin toss.
"It will be an honor for Stanford football to share our sideline with the greatest competitor of our generation," head coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Woods is excited about watching the Cardinal play. In the last two weeks, Stanford has upset Top 10 teams Oregon and USC to climb to 14th in the Associated Press rankings.
"I'm really looking forward to being on the sideline Saturday to support coach Harbaugh and his players in one of college football's great rivalries," he said.
