Tiger Woods’ Daughter Sam Shuns Golf Due to Negative Connotation, While Son Charlie Embraces the Sport
Tiger Woods’ daughter Sam has no interest in following in her father’s footsteps when it comes to golf, and it’s all because of the sacrifices he had to make for the sport.
Growing up, Sam saw her father constantly traveling for golf tournaments, leaving her and the family behind for weeks at a time. This experience has left a “negative connotation” to the game for her, as she felt golf took her father away from her.
Despite caddying for Woods at events like the PNC Championship and being present for his historic Masters victory in 2019, Sam has no desire to pick up a club herself. Instead, she has developed a strong bond with her father outside of golf, focusing on activities that don’t involve the sport.
On the other hand, Woods’ son Charlie has been making waves in the golfing world, trying to qualify for the US Open and accompanying his father at events like The Masters. While he may listen to his father’s advice on the golf course, off the course, he’s just like any other teenager, trying to find his own path in the world.
Despite the different paths his children are taking when it comes to golf, Woods is supportive of both Sam and Charlie. While Sam has chosen to distance herself from the sport, Charlie is embracing it and making a name for himself in the golfing world.
As Woods continues to navigate his role as a father and a golfing legend, he is proud to see his children pursue their own interests and passions, whether it’s on the golf course or elsewhere.
