Do not wait tiger woods‘ daughter will be swinging a club on a course soon… the golf legend just revealed that her 16-year-old son isn’t the biggest fan of the sport in the world – because it “took her daddy away”.
The Big Cat shared with Carson Daly on Wednesdays “Today“Show that he believes Sam Woods Direct has “a negative connotation for the game”… due to all the traveling it required him to do when she was a little girl.
“I had to pack my bags and I had to leave,” he said. “I had to be away for weeks. And there is a negative connotation to that.”
Sam, however, is still supportive of Pops’ career… she just caddyed for him at the PNC Championship in December – and gave a speech at his 2022 Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
But Tiger seemed to make it clear that she doesn’t want to learn how to play like Dad.
“So we developed our own relationship, our own relationship outside of golf,” the 48-year-old said of his daughter, with whom he shares Elin Nordegren. “We do things that don’t involve golf.”
He, however, has the opposite relationship with his other son… aged 15 Charlie Woodswith whom he has partnered in the PNC Championship in recent years.
Tiger explained to Daly that he and his son do “everything golf related.”
“It’s very different,” he said.
As for his plans for the links that don’t involve his children – Tiger said he hopes to play all three remaining majors in 2024… although April’s Masters left him pretty sore.
