Insider gives latest update of Tiger Woods’ relationship with his teenage daughter Sam after fathers’ Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren Surprised with Unexpected Proposal
Insider brings you the latest update on the relationship between Tiger Woods and his teenage daughter Sam after her father’s ex-wife Elin Nordegren surprised him with a surprise proposal.
The relationship between Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods has been highly publicized as the two regularly play together. Although not in the limelight, Tiger has developed a close relationship with his daughter, Sam Woods. In fact, Woods’ oldest child was named after a professional golfer. “From the day I was born, my father called me Sam. “He never told me Tiger,” she told the Seattle Times in 2007, shortly after Sam was born.
Tiger was competing at the US Open when his ex-wife Elin Nordegren gave birth. Nordegren advised him to focus on finishing the race, and Tiger finished second. “But that night was much more rewarding than the ‘W’ could ever have,” Tiger said of Sam’s delivery. Golf may cause her to miss his birth, but it will bring them closer for years to come.
Tiger played alongside Charlie in the PNC Championship Pro-Am in December 2023, with Sam tagging along as his father’s caddy. “Sam Woods in the bag today,” the PGA captioned an Instagram video with the Woods family in attendance. Tiger later revealed that he has a daughter. “Sam has been great, he couldn’t have been more special to all of us,” he told Golf Week. But this was not Sam’s first serious encounter with his father. Tiger Woods discussed how becoming a parent gave him a new perspective in Golf Digest’s July 2021 interview, “Round with Tiger: Celebrity Lessons from Jada Pinkett Smith.” The golfer was asked about the lessons he’s learned since Sam Woods was born. “What has my daughter taught me?” “I don’t like men,” joked Tiger (as reported by People ).
“[Sam] taught me to be patient,” she explained. In fact, Sam, a former Masters Tournament champion, believes it taught him some important skills. “For me…I think every man should have a girlfriend.”
The following year, Tiger and Sam’s friendship drew attention when he was asked to speak at the World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony in March 2022. Sam gave an emotional speech to the crowd about the horrific car accident in which his father lost one of his legs. “Now you’re not just inducted into the Hall of Fame, you’re standing here on your own two feet.” “Dad, I put you in the hall of fame a long time ago.”
After hearing his daughter’s words, Tiger had tears in his eyes as he approached the stage. “I lost the bet that I can’t cry.” “Thank you so much, Sam.” cried the Tiger. As a child, Sam Woods was his caddy.
Sam Woods is the first player to officially challenge Tiger Woods in the 2023 PNC Pro-Am Championship, but he has competed on tour with his father before. “My two young children will be with me,” Tiger said before competing in the par-3 event of the 2015 Masters Tournament, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Sam Woods and Charlie Woods accompanied their father to the course as children. The tiger pounced on Sam once. Then they hugged and Sam kissed his father’s cheek. Years later, the professional golfer considered the possibility of playing Augusta National with his children. “I don’t understand what I did there,” he told USA Today in 2017. “It meant so much to me, but it meant so much to them to see a side of me that they hadn’t seen before.”
Later in Augusta, the Woods family had a wonderful time. Sam and Charlie were there when their dad won his fifth Masters Championship in 2019. Tiger overcame a serious injury, got back in shape and praised his children for returning to the sport. “It means everything to me. “Words can’t express how much their love and support meant to me as I struggled,” he said after winning the Masters, according to NBC Sports.
