Multiple award-winning sports personality, Tiger Woods, is opening up about his children and their relationship with golf.
It’s well known that Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, is following in his dad’s footsteps and becoming an exceptional golfer in his own right.
Just weeks after receiving a state championship ring, 15-year-old Charlie competed for a spot in the U.S. Open for the first time recently.
However, in an interview with Today Show’s Carson Daly, Woods admitted that Sam his 16-year-old daughter won’t be swinging a club alongside her brother. In fact, despite her father being a golfing legend, Sam doesn’t care that much for golf at all.
“When she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her. I had to pack and I had to leave,” Woods told Carson. “I had to be gone for weeks. And there’s a negative connotation to it.”

Tiger Woods, however, said he and his daughter have found common ground outside of golf. “We develop our own relationship, our own rapport that’s outside of golf,” he explained.
“We do things that don’t involve golf.”
“Meanwhile, my son and I, we do everything golf-related. It’s just very different,” he professional golfer noted.
But that doesn’t mean Sam isn’t supportive of the legacy her father has been able to leave. While she may not eat, sleep, and breathe golf, she did caddy for her dad just a few months ago for the first time.
Sam has established quite the name for herself in high school track and field and soccer, according to numerous public sources. With a 17-1 record, her soccer team is aiming for its first-ever state title.
