I actually had it slightly wrong about Tiger's mom. She is 50% Thai, 25% Chinese, and 25% Dutch.
Here is an interesting article about Tiger from years ago. It says that when he fills out forms requesting ethnicity, he always writes "Asian". He is quoted as saying, "Actually, I'm 90% Oriental, more Thai than anything."
