Tai Woffinden was born in Scunthorpe in 1990, but moved with his family to Perth, Western Australia, at the age of four. He won his first speedway title there at the age of fifteen, and in the same year made his debut in the British Conference League, with Scunthorpe Scorpions. In 2007 he was crowned British Under 18 Champion, won the first of his two Under 21 titles in 2008, and went on to take the first of three successive senior championships in 2013.

He won the Speedway Grand Prix series in 2013, to become World Champion for the first time, a title he regained in 2015. When he did it again in 2018, he became the only British rider ever to win it three times, as well as being the youngest rider to have won the World Championship in the modern GP era. He is married to Faye and they have one daughter, Rylee-Cru, with a second child due in autumn 2019. As a family, they divide their time between this country and Australia, as well as Tai racing regularly in Poland and Sweden.
