keywords: 

{'laureus world sports award': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'roger federer': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'award': [0, 0, 6, 9], 'first winner': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'american golfer tiger woods': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'maximum number': [1, 0, 1, 2]}

The correct answer is Option 3: 1 and 3 only. Here`s the explanation for each statement:

1. The first statement is correct. American golfer Tiger Woods was indeed the first winner of the Laureus World Sports Award when it was instituted in the year 2000.

2. The second statement is false. The Laureus World Sports Award has not been received mostly by `Formula One` players so far. This award recognizes sporting achievements on the international level across many different sports, including athletics, tennis, golf, motorsport, cycling, team sports and action sports.

3. The third statement is correct. Swiss tennis player Roger Federer has indeed received this award a record five times, which is the highest number compared to other athletes. Note this statistic is as of 2021 and could potentially change in the future if another athlete were to receive the award a higher number of times.
