Sam Alexis Woods biography
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren welcomed their first child, a daughter, on June 18, 2007.
Tiger had just finished second in the 2007 U.S. Open when Sam was born early on Monday morning. Tiger and Elin published pictures of their newborn daughter soon after she was born.
When asked about the birth of his daughter at a news conference, Tiger recounted the circumstances of her birth:
“It wasn’t life-threatening or anything, but she (Sam’s mom) just had a few problems and had to be admitted…It wasn’t easy. It was not easy, because I wanted to be there. And the doctor and Elin said, ‘There’s nothing you can do. So go out there and just get a ‘W.’ Well, came close. But that night was infinitely more rewarding than any ‘W’ ever could have been. I flew, landed in Orlando, went straight to the hospital and next thing you know, we have Sam Alexis in our arms.”
How old is Tiger Woods daughter Sam?
The Tiger Woods family’s eldest daughter is now how old? June 18, 2007 was the date of her birth. As of this writing, she is 13. (as of September 2020)
Her name
‘Sam’ is not a nickname, despite the fact that many people assume it is. Intriguingly, Tiger Woods’ father used to call the young Tiger by this name when he was a child.
Tiger Woods revealed that his father, Earl, used the nickname “Sam” for him as a child. In 2007, shortly after Sam was born, the golfer gave a press conference to explain:
“My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born. He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’ He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam.'”
Parents
When Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren divorced, Sam’s mother became a former model of Swedish descent. Elin and Tiger first met in 2001. Elin was hired as an au pair by Jesper Parnevik, a Swedish golfer.
Barbro Holmberg and Thomas Nordegren’s granddaughter Elin Nordegren accepted Tiger’s proposal in November 2003. They got married in Barbados on October 5, 2013, at Sandy Lane resort.
Isleworth, a Windermere neighborhood in Orlando, Florida, is where the couple lived.
Jordan Cameron, a former NFL player, and Elin welcomed a baby boy in 2019.
In 2009, a number of women came out to say that they had sex with Tiger. Elin Nordegren, a former model, broke up with him, and he had to take a break from acting. As a result of Tiger’s conduct, his reputation was harmed, and he lost a number of sponsorship deals.
After the cheating scandals of 2010, the couple divorced.
Elin, on the other hand, has commended Tiger’s parenting skills.
“My relationship with Tiger is centred around our children and we are doing really good – we really are – and I am so happy that is the case. He is a great father.”
Back in December 2015, Tiger told TIME,
“[Elin] is one of my best friends. We’re able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time. We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then.”
Erica Herman is now Woods’ girlfriend. Tiger Woods was cheered on by Sam and Charlie Woods at the 2018 Open Championship.
