I can find no reference to the specific "speech school" Tiger Woods attended when he was a child. There is reference to "a school" and also insight into how he overcame stuttering in the Newsletter of the Demosthenes Society, April 2008 (p. 2) >>Tiger Woods says the competitiveness he learned from his mother helped him overcome a child- hood stutter. In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” televised on March 19, 2006, the world’s No. 1 golfer says, “The words got lost, you know, somewhere between the brain and the mouth. And it was very difficult, but I fought through it. I went to a school to try and get over that, and I just would work my tail off.” Woods had some extra help, too. “I would talk to my dog and he would sit there and listen, and he’d fall asleep,” Woods says. “I finally learned how to do that, without stuttering all over myself.”<<
