Tiger Woods is a dad of two.

Woods' son Charlie is following closely in his footsteps, already mirroring some of his dad's early success on the golf course.

In addition to Charlie, Woods shares a daughter, Sam, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, whom he was married to from 2004 to 2010.

Woods has shown plenty of public support for his two children.

In March 2025, Woods was spotted cheering as Sam's soccer team, the Buccaneers, won the FHSAA Class 2A state final at Spec Martin Municipal Stadium in DeLand, Florida. In footage shared by the Palm Beach Post, the golfing legend was seen in the bleachers wearing a white baseball cap and an FHSAA girls' soccer state championships T-shirt, celebrating alongside other proud parents.

Woods -- who celebrated his 50th birthday on Dec. 30, 2025 -- has previously said that as a dad, 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," Woods told Golf Digest in 2022. "And so that's the most important thing about being a parent."

Woods took to social media in March 2025 to publicly confirm he is now in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump.

"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" Woods captioned two photos of himself with Vanessa Trump. "We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."

When Charlie competed in a golf tournament in Florida in September 2023, Woods served as his caddie.

"We just stay in our own little world and we just take it one shot at a time," Charlie said of having his dad as his caddie.

The father-son duo have also competed together at multiple PNC Championships, most recently in December 2024, where Charlie shot his first hole-in-one.

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 a 2021 interview, Woods shared what he has learned from his daughter, saying, "She has taught me how to be more patient ... I don't ever want her to leave home."
