Video: Tiger Woods Was Nicknamed "Urkel" in College
Before Tiger Woods faced jeers at last week's Masters (where he placed a disappointing fourth), he encountered another kind of crowd torment -- from his college golf team.
Teammates at Stanford University (where Woods, now, 34, attended for two years before dropping out in 1996 after his sophomore year) dubbed the star golfer -- a math major -- "Urkel," according to Woods' E! True Hollywood Story special, airing Apr. 14 at 10 p.m./ET.

In the clip above, Woods' former colleagues reveal how the taunting made the famed golfer feel like he was back in high school.
Despite heckling, Woods never let it interfere with his work on the golf course.

"He could walk on the golf course, walk right by you and not even acknowledge you," said CBS sportscaster Jim Hill. "That's not because he's arrogant, that's just because he has a job to do."
Tell Us What You Think
10Wrong! Sure it's because he's arrogant, any decent person would not behave that way. What a lowlife loser Woods is. I am SO glad he lost the tournament the other day. I wish he'd disappear and retire and hide forever, just seeing his face disgusts me. Sad Elin is stuck with him forever due to the kids. Obviously she is living her own life doing her own thing, not being around him. Good for her. Who knows maybe a divorce is in the works right now, but again, she's still stuck in his life sharing the kids.
I've said it all along. He's an ugly piece of s h i t. I crap better looking than this guy. Between his round face, bulging eyes, fish lips, he's a funny looking brother. He resembles a cartoon character. How he gets the hotties he does is a mystery. Oh I know, $$$.
Boo freakin hoo! Getting tired of hearing about the guy!
Oh let's have a pity party for the cheater now. He's a piece of garbage.
I just saw a clip from Tiger Wood's E! True Hollywood Story, and it was interesting!
Why can't people just let tiger live his life? Enough is enough already!!!
He's nicknamed "Scumbag" now and forever more. 'Nuff said.
Well I guess that explains his behavior "he was bullied" so he can be forgiven...NOT
Wish they would leave Tiger Woods alone. People make little things to be a real bad thing.
I can't believe he'd need a nickname with a name like 'Tiger'. I'd figure that everyone would go with that. But anyway, Urkel! Ha! Urkel sure did get a LOT of booty!
