Tiger Woods has been a household name for longer than anyone can remember. Known for his incredible accomplishments in the world of golf, Tiger Woods was the center of the sporting spotlight for several years. He shattered records and racked up a list of accolades too long to list. Woods and ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, have been attempting normalcy amid the usual struggles of co-parenting.
As the winner of 82 official PGA Tour events, Tiger Woods was living the high life, but in 2009, he began making the headlines for something other than his golf game. He got caught up in a scandal which ultimately revealed he had been cheating on his wife, Elin. Since then, Tiger Woods has disappeared from the limelight, has been busy co-parenting, and he hasn't been heard from very often. He shares two children with Elin; a daughter named Sam and a son named Charlie. In recent months, Tiger posted some rare images of his children, and fans have become increasingly curious about his, now, very quiet personal life.
Let's get to know more about Sam and Charlie, Tiger Woods' beautiful children.
The Basics
Tiger Woods currently shares custody of Sam and Charlie and seems blissfully happy about being an active parent in the lives of both of his children.
Sam Alexis Woods was born on June 8th, 2007. Her name is not short for anything –it's simply "Sam," and it's a very deep-rooted, meaningful name that was carefully selected. Tiger Woods' father used to affectionately refer to him as "Sam" instead of Tiger, and so his first born child was given that name to honor Tiger Woods' father.
Charlie Axel Woods entered the world on February 8th, 2009, and this was roughly the time that Tiger Woods' life was really beginning to blow up. He has really taken an interest in golf but rather than "following in his parents' footsteps," he has been paving his own path in the sporting scene.
All About Sam
The eldest to be born to multimillionaire parents, Sam Woods has always lived a charmed life. She lives in a sprawling mansion worth over $40 million. This young lady divides her time between her mother's residence and her father's residence, both of which have since settled down with other partners since their very public divorce.
By all accounts, Sam is much more interested in soccer than she is in golf. She is an avid soccer player and is passionately dedicated to the sport. Her father is said to support her love for soccer and encourages her to pursue her dreams.
Sam is also a huge animal lover. She's often seen out and about with her dogs and seems to be in her element when she is surrounded by them. Something that really sets her apart from most 13-year-olds is the fact that she is not active on social media. This teen can't be found on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and has opted to lead a much more private lifestyle than most celebrity kids. This is important, as this helps her to be a more well-rounded and grounded teen.
All About Charlie
Charlie has definitely caught the Golf bug, just like his father. The apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree in this sense as Charlie is heavily immersed in the world of Golf, said Glamour Path.
Charlie is active in competitive golf and actually "tied for second place at the US Kids Golf event in 2016," said the Daily Star. He is living up to his namesake as he was named after Charlie Sifford, who is honored in the World Golf Hall Of Fame. Being heavily immersed in the world of golf has been a bonding experience for Tiger and Charlie. Charlie has often accompanied his dad to tournaments and major golf events. However, much like his sister, Charlie loves to play soccer and admits to enjoying it much more than golf.
Focused On Family
Enough time has passed for the scandal to have blown over, yet the effects of his infidelity has taken a permanent toll on the life of Tiger Woods. Forced to divide the time he spends with his kids with his ex-wife, Tiger has taken the time to adjust to it.
One thing that Tiger and Elin have worked very hard to maintain is open communication. They have both gone on to explore relationships with other people, and Elin has continued to grow her family, but when it comes down to parenting their children, they remain dedicated to amicably co-parenting Sam and Charlie in the healthiest way possible.
