Correct. Weight is also under-stated religiously for the exact same reason. I can point you to an endless amount of Wiki or B-Ref pages with hilarious underweights from people who listed their weight when they got drafted and never updated again. It's not like Tiger has to be weighed in before tournaments or something.
People like to be tall and skinny. With the exception of playing OL in the NFL I can think of very few professional athletes who want people to think they are bigger than they actually are.

I've been within feet of Tiger on a few occasions, I stand right at 6' and we were about the same height(He definitely didnt have 2 inches on me).
Sweet bro. I'm glad that from several feet away, on a golf course(that are known for not exactly being flat), you were able to determine his height to within an inch. You should go to a carnival or something with that kind of talent, wtf is this even?

His waist is incredibly tiny and has been for his entire career.
Says who? Yeah he was a skinny ass dude when he got onto the tour. He's not that guy anymore.

And as for weight, I guess Tiger is the only person in the world who prides himself on getting bigger and stronger and then low balls his weight by 20 pounds. He also appears to be so jacked bc I would assume his body fat % is insanely low. Tiger has big shoulder and arms, thats about it.
What the frack? People almost always want to be seen as skinner rather than heavier. Which is more impressive? 180lb guy benching 300 or the 210lb guy benching 300?
What incentive would Tiger possibly have for saying he gained a bunch of weight? There is none whatsoever. All it would have done is brought attention to him.
Not to mention weights for athletes fluctuate ALOT. I've played rounds of golf in Texas where I've lost 5-7 pounds of water weight alone. I'm sure for a professional athlete working out a ton, playing golf a ton, and on a super hardcore eating regimen he would go up and down quite a bit. Not to mention his injuries and stuff.
