Earl Woods, who became the role model, architect and driving force behind Tiger Woods's career, has died at home. He was 74.

"My dad was my best friend and greatest role model and I will miss him deeply," Tiger Woods said on his website. "I'm overwhelmed when I think of all of the great things he accomplished. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend. I wouldn't be where I am today without him."
