Tiger Woods Faces Emotional Goodbye!

By
Tiger Woods Faces Emotional Goodbye!

She’s making her own name in academics, not on the fairway

When your dad is Tiger Woods, the world assumes you’ll have a golf club in your hand before you can walk. And while that’s true for her younger brother, Charlie, Sam Woods has always played by her own rules.

Sports were always a big part of Sam’s life-but not golf. She found her passion on the soccer field, and she just capped off her high school career in the best way possible: leading The Benjamin School to its first-ever Florida state championship. On March 1, Sam, a defensive powerhouse and team captain, helped secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Episcopal School of Jacksonville. It was a perfect ending to her time as an athlete.

From the field to the classroom

But now, she’s stepping into a new chapter-one that has nothing to do with athletics. Sam is heading to Stanford University in the fall, following in her father’s footsteps in name only. While Tiger’s time at Stanford was all about golf, Sam is going for the academics, with interests in psychology and biology.

“She’s going to Stanford in the fall, so everything is really trending,” Tiger confirmed, per Golf Digest. Though the university boasts one of the best golf programs in the country, Sam won’t be part of it. She’s charting her own course-one that involves labs and lectures, not fairways and bunkers.

Her decision makes one thing clear: being a Woods doesn’t mean being a golfer. Sam is proving that the family name isn’t just synonymous with golf greatness-it can stand for excellence in whatever path you choose.

A Different Kind of Bond with Dad

Sam and her dad have always shared a strong connection, but their bond wasn’t built on the game that defined Tiger’s career. In fact, she’s been open about the fact that golf took her dad away a lot when she was younger, creating a bit of a disconnect. But over the years, they’ve found common ground in other ways. Whether she was caddying for him at the PNC Championship or delivering a heartfelt speech at his Hall of Fame induction, she’s always been in his corner.

Unlike Charlie, who is fully embracing the pressure of carrying on the Woods golf legacy, Sam has opted out-and Tiger completely supports it. Instead of pushing her toward the sport, he’s simply proud to see her forge her own way. And as she prepares for life at Stanford, it’s clear she’s doing just that.

Tiger Woods’ Toughest Decision Yet!

By
Tiger Woods’ Toughest Decision Yet!

As another serious injury threatens his future, Woods weighs up another comeback

Tiger Woods is once again at a crossroads. Following news of his Achilles tendon surgery, the golf world is questioning whether one of the sport’s greatest champions has reached his final fairway.

The 15-time major winner, who has faced more injuries than most athletes endure in a lifetime, now finds himself torn between focusing on his son Charlie‘s blossoming career or pushing through rehab for another shot at victory.

The latest injury – a ruptured Achilles tendon – required a minimally invasive operation performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach.

While the procedure itself brings some hope for a smoother recovery, the reality of what lies ahead is sobering. Recovery from Achilles surgery often demands months of rehabilitation, and for Woods, whose body has already weathered numerous setbacks, time may not be on his side.

Still, there are signs Woods isn’t ready to give up. Golf analyst Jaime Diaz, speaking on Golf Channel’s Live From The Players, believes the fire to compete is still burning.

“I still think he has an itch to scratch when it comes to competitive golf… He still thinks he has something in him, and I don’t see him walking away,” Diaz said, reflecting the determination that has long defined Woods‘s career.

Another Chapter in a Career of Grit and Recovery

Tiger Woods is once again at a crossroads. Following news of his Achilles tendon surgery, the golf world is questioning whether one of the sport’s greatest champions has reached his final fairway.

The 15-time major winner, who has faced more injuries than most athletes endure in a lifetime, now finds himself torn between focusing on his son Charlie‘s blossoming career or pushing through rehab for another shot at victory.

“I still think he has an itch to scratch when it comes to competitive golf… He still thinks he has something in him, and I don’t see him walking away,” Diaz said, reflecting the determination that has long defined Woods‘s career.

Another Chapter in a Career of Grit and Recovery

Although Woods‘s return to competitive form may seem unlikely to some, this wouldn’t be his first miraculous comeback.

From spinal fusion surgeries to the devastating 2021 car accident that nearly took his right leg, Woods has continually defied expectations. His triumph at the 2019 Masters, eleven years after his previous win there, proved he could overcome enormous obstacles.

Diaz was realistic about the challenges ahead, noting, “It’s a huge setback. He probably loses this year. I mean there’s certainly been examples of people coming back sooner from Achilles tendons, but you know, at his age and with all the things he has to do to train… I don’t see a real quick recovery.”

With the 2025 Masters rapidly approaching, many believe this injury could force Woods to shift focus – perhaps dedicating more time to mentoring Charlie, who is steadily gaining attention in the junior golf world.

Yet, the news that the injury affected his left leg – not the badly damaged right one from his car crash – offers a glimmer of hope. As Diaz pointed out, “It was good news that it was minimally invasive… and in his case, good news that it was his left leg and not his right.”

For now, the question remains: Will Tiger Woods devote himself to helping Charlie rise in golf, or is there still one more iconic comeback waiting in the wings? If history has shown anything, it’s that betting against Woods has never been wise.

Woods Denied Access? His Two Brutal Questions!

By
Woods Denied Access? His Two Brutal Questions!

Tiger Woods revealed the two questions he always asked on his way up in golf whenever he faced racial prejudice.

Woods is widely celebrated as arguably the greatest golfer in history, having triumphed over numerous obstacles that threatened to thwart his path to golfing glory.

Among these challenges was the harsh reality of being denied access to spaces simply because of the colour of his skin.

During his emotional 2022 Golf Hall of Fame induction, he articulated how this injustice only fueled his determination.

“Playing at some of these golf courses, I was not allowed in the clubhouses where all the other juniors were; the colour of my skin dictated that,” he explained.

“As I got older, that drove me even more. So as I was denied access to the clubhouses, that’s fine, I put my shoes on here in a parking lot. I asked two questions only. That was it.

“Where was the first tee and what was the course record? Not complicated.”

Woods made his professional debut in 1996, going on to win 15 major championships, second only to the legendary Jack Nicklaus.

He stands proudly alongside Sam Snead for the most PGA Tour wins, with an impressive tally of 82, and uniquely held all four major championship titles at once.

One of his most transformative victories unfolded in Augusta in 1997.

At just 21 years old, he made history as the youngest player ever to win the Masters, claiming victory at a staggering 18-under-par and with a 12-stroke lead.

Woods was the first black man to conquer a golf course that had been compelled to welcome black members a mere seven years earlier.

The Masters had barred black players from competing until 1975, and caddies were exclusively black until 1982. It was there that he etched his name into history.

This was a victory for black Americans everywhere, something that was not lost on Woods.

He expressed gratitude towards Charlie Sifford, Lee Elder, and Ted Rhodes, three pioneering black golfers who carved the path for Woods and have often been overlooked for their monumental contributions in expanding the reach of golf to an entire community.

Before their time, John Shippen was the first black man to compete at the US Open, finishing fifth in 1896. Meanwhile, George Franklin Grant was the ingenious mind behind the invention of the golf tee in 1899.

In the wake of his 1997 victory at Augusta, Woods appeared in a famous Nike ad, poignantly stating: “There are still courses in the United States that I am not allowed to play on because of the color of my skin.”

His father, Earl, hailed from African-American, Chinese, and Native American roots, while his mother, Tida – who recently died – was of Thai, Chinese, and Dutch descent.

Woods withdrew from the Genesis Invitational in February as he continued to grieve the loss of his mother.

After his Jupiter Golf Links team were eliminated from TGL, the 49-year-old suggested he was not planning on teeing it up any time soon.

“This is the third time I’ve touched a club since my mom passed, so I haven’t really gotten into it,” Woods said.

“My heart is not really into practicing right now. I’ve had so many other things to do with the TOUR and trying to do other things.

“Once I start probably feeling a little bit better and start getting into it, I’ll start looking at the schedule.”

Kai Trump and Tiger Woods Together at Genesis Invitational – What’s the Story?

Kai Trump and Tiger Woods Together at Genesis Invitational – What’s the Story?

The 17-year-old is a promising golfer and has a “verbal commitment” with the University of Miami.

 

Eagle eyed golf fans may have noticed that Tiger Woods was spotted with Kai Trump this weekend ahead of the final round of the Genesis Invitational in San Diego.

Before heading to the range, Woods was seen in the parking lot with was the teenage Trump, Donald Trump’s granddaughter. Woods himself recently played a round of golf with the new US President.

It’s no secret that Trump loves golf, and this is a trend that appears it runs in the family, with granddaughter Kai revealing she has verbally committed to playing college golf at the University of Miami.

Who is Kai Trump?

The 17-year-old is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa, and is about to go into her junior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida. But she already has a fair idea of what she’d like to do with her life in the future.

The fact the teenager’s personal Instagram account is called ‘kaitrumpgolfer’ says it all and recently she broke the news that she was “beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami”.

Although she doesn’t share the nature of her scholarship, she has been tipped to have a future in the sport and her line of thanks to her grandfather suggests that is the avenue she will be going down: “I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support”.

Kai vs Donald on the golf course

Despite her tender years, Kai has already won the ladies’ club championship at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, one of 17 her grandfather owns worldwide. It was recently revealed that Trump Turnberry in Scotland would have the highest green fees anywhere in the world (£1000 / $1296 before 1pm) from 2025 onwards.

In a video with YouTube personality Grant Horvat last month, Kai claimed the Republican candidate for the 2024 US presidential election “always gives me a run for my money” and “wins a lot of the time” when they play against each other.

How good is Donald Trump at golf?

Before Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, the subject of golf handicaps came up in a debate with Trump.

USGA records show Trump is a 2.5 handicap golfer, making him supremely gifted on the course.

Many of the world’s top golfers, including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer on the men’s side, and Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa on the women’s, played college golf before turning professional.

Is Tiger’s Son Really ‘Broke’ Despite Huge Earnings?

Charlie Woods is following in his father’s footsteps as he aims to forge a career in golf, and the teenager has already made a name for himself on the course.

Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods, is setting his sights on a career in golf. The 16-year-old has been learning from his father, who is keen to pass on his golfing wisdom.

Despite the pressure of emulating a 15-time major winner, Charlie seems unfazed and led his Florida high school to a state championship victory in 2023. He recently made headlines in December when he scored his first hole-in-one.

However, he still has a long journey to match his father’s success, who tops the PGA Tour’s all-time prize money list. Express Sport takes a closer look at the teenager’s budding golf career.

Net worth

According to Sportskeeda, Charlie’s net worth is estimated at around £20million ($25m), mainly due to potential sponsorship deals and a trust fund set up by his father. As an amateur golfer, there’s no exact figure for his earnings so far.The youngster has played alongside his dad at the PNC Championship several times, most recently finishing second after scoring his hole-in-one. The Woods family missed out on the top prize in a play-off with Bernhard and Jason Langer

Their total prize money from the tournament is £242k ($300k). While an impressive amount for a 16-year-old, it is a small sum compared to his father’s course earnings of £97m ($120m) and overall net worth of £1.05bn ($1.3bn), as reported by Forbes.

Bittersweet Moment for Tiger Woods’ Son Charlie Amid Family Tragedy

Bittersweet Moment for Tiger Woods’ Son Charlie Amid Family Tragedy

The golfer shares two children with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie reached a major milestone on February 8 – but the celebration will be bittersweet following the death of his grandmother on February 4.

The golfer turned sweet 16, and while the day will likely not go unnoticed, it will be tinged with sadness as his grandmother, Kultida Woods, won’t be there to celebrate with him.

Tiger’s mother passed away aged 78, with the golfing legend sharing the news of her death on behalf of his family, including his two children, Charlie, and his big sister Sam, 17, in an emotional statement on Instagram.

“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” he wrote. “My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable.”

He concluded: “Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you mom.”

Despite his pain, Tiger will likely make a fuss of his only son’s big milestone, which comes several weeks after he hit his first hole-in-one at the PNC Championship, which saw him and his dad finish in second place, in December.

Tiger adores being a dad and said in 2011 that it is his most rewarding role. “I just love being with them and seeing what they’re doing, what they’re capable of doing – the joys, just the shifts of interest. It’s just fun. We have a great time together.”

Charlie has taken after his dad and is a “natural” golfer, but Tiger never pressured him to play for fear he would “hate the game”.

“I get emotional about it. Some of my best memories are being out there with my dad,” Tiger said on A Round with Tiger: Celebrity Lessons. “I just don’t want him to hate the game.”

Sharing his joy over being able to share golf with his son, Tiger said in 2022 at the PNC Championship in Orlando: “It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie and we genuinely do look forward to playing in the PNC Championship all year.

“Competing together, against a field of so many golfing greats and their families, is so special.”

Tiger and Charlie have played together at the PNC Championship four times. They made their debut at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in 2020, where they finished seventh. The next year they finished second place. In 2022 they were tied for eighth place, and in 2024 they were runner-up.
