In June 2007, Tiger Woods became a father for the first time when his daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, was born. Sam’s arrival coincided with Tiger’s second-place finish in the U.S. Open. Despite his professional commitments, Tiger prioritized fatherhood, emphasizing Sam’s importance above all else. As a parent, Tiger has learned patience and cherishes the bond with his daughter, considering her his “little girl” despite her teenage years. Sam attends high school, excels in varsity soccer, and often supports her father in his golfing endeavors, occasionally even acting as his caddie. Born shortly after Father’s Day, Sam’s name pays homage to Tiger’s own childhood nickname. Despite the challenges of divorce, Tiger has been honest with Sam about his past mistakes and maintains a positive co-parenting relationship with her mother, Elin Nordegren. Sam played a significant role in her father’s World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2022, delivering a heartfelt speech. While not as interested in golf as her father, Sam is passionate about soccer and plays on her high school’s varsity team. In December 2023, she caddied for her father at the PNC Championship’s Pro-Am, marking a new milestone in their relationship.
