Golf legend Tiger Woods is a proud father of two.
The five-time Masters champion has made a name for himself in the world of golf in the nearly three decades since he turned pro in 1996.
Nowadays, Woods, who launched the lifestyle brand Sun Day Red with the TaylorMade Golf Company, also plays caddy for his son Charlie, who has followed in his father’s footsteps onto the green.
In March, Woods joined Charlie as he and his high school teammates received their championship rings after winning the 2023 state championship in Florida.

Woods told Golf magazine in a 2022 interview that he aims to both guide and protect his kids as they grow into their own.
“Being a parent, you always want to be the protector and guider of them and teach them skills that they will need in life when you’re not around. And so that’s the most important thing about being a parent,” Woods said at the time.

In September 2023, Charlie competed in the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship Last Chance Florida Regional, where he emerged as the winner of the regional qualifier in the boys 14-15 age division with final scores of 71 and 66.
In a post-competition interview, Charlie said it was “great” having his dad right alongside him on the course as his caddy.

“He puts me in my place,” he added.
At the national championship in November, held in Louisiana, Charlie tied for 17th place.

Tiger Woods has previously said he doesn’t formally coach Charlie in golf in order to minimize any pressure his son might feel.
“He just watches me do it, and then he kind of does it,” Woods said of Charlie in 2021.

Sam honored her father by introducing him when he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in March 2022, calling him a “fighter.”
“You’ve defied the odds every time,” she said.
In December 2023, Sam joined her dad on the golf course at the PNC Championship, where she served as his caddie for the first time.
The PGA Tour posted a video on Instagram showing a sweet moment between the father-daughter duo on the course, captioning the post: “For the first time, Sam Woods is caddying for her father today ❤️.”
“Sam was fantastic,” Woods said of his daughter, according to Golfweek. “This is the first time she’s ever done this, so it couldn’t have been any more special for all of us.”
