Tiger Woods has been candid about the challenges he faced as a single parent after his highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren. The couple, who married in 2004, welcomed two children, Sam and Charlie, before their separation in 2010 following revelations of Woods’ infidelity.
In a 2011 interview with ABC News, Woods spoke openly about the balance between his demanding golf career and raising his kids. He admitted that being a single father was hard work but deeply fulfilling, emphasizing that family always came first for him, much like it did during his own upbringing.
Despite the difficulties in his personal life, Woods remained dedicated to his children. Over the years, his relationships, including with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and later restaurant manager Erica Herman, garnered public attention, but family remained a priority.
Woods often highlighted his joy in watching his kids grow and develop, particularly as his son Charlie followed in his golfing footsteps. Their bond was evident in their participation in the PNC Championship, a father-son event they competed in together, showcasing the importance of family in Woods’ life amidst the ups and downs of his personal journey.
