Tiger Woods’ half-brother arrested in Phoenix bomb threat ‘joke’ 

The half-brother of golf superstar Tiger Woods is in the rough after he called in a fake bomb threat to the Arizona building where he works.

Cops busted Earl Dennison Woods Jr. on charges of using an electronic device to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass others after he allegedly called his Phoenix workplace, the Department of Economic Security, to say he had a bomb and was going to blow it up on Thursday, KNXV-TV reported.

About 100 employees were evacuated after the call came in around 8:30 a.m.



Cops collared the 58-year-old Woods after he admitted to the threat, saying he made the call “as a joke.” He has since apologized and is reportedly cooperating with police.


Woods and his famous younger half-brother, Tiger, share the same father, Earl Woods Sr.

The blood relatives reportedly have little contact but Earl Woods Jr.’s daughter Cheyenne Woods is following in her uncle’s golf cleats. The 23-year-old turned pro last year and is on the Ladies European Tour.
