The PNC Championship is known for its family moments, and this year, it had Tiger Woods’ name all over it. Sure, he didn’t snag the trophy, but what he got was way more meaningful. Woods shared the course with his children, Charlie and Sam, but there was one more person rooting for them from the sidelines—his ex-wife and the mother of his children, Elin Nordegren. And as the tournament wrapped up, a pretty special family moment was captured.

@TWlegion shared a photo on X of Woods embracing Elin after the PNC Championship ended, with the caption, “Tiger and ex-wife Elin Nordegren share an embrace following the conclusion of the PNC Championship.”

The couple parted ways in 2010 after Woods’ highly publicized infidelity, a time that was difficult for both of them. Reflecting on that period, Woods once shared, “You don’t ever go into a marriage looking to get divorced. You know, that’s the thing. That’s why it is sad.” Despite their differences, they have made sure their kids, Charlie and Sam, have never felt the divide, regularly showing up together at Charlie’s matches and supporting each other in the most important role they share—parenthood.

And that’s exactly what made this moment so special. While it was a heartwarming moment for the family, fans seemed equally excited pouring out their love and excitement for the scene.

Fans cheer for Woods’ family moment

Just as the photo dropped, fans couldn’t help but gush over the touching family moment between Woods and his ex-wife. One fan wrote, “Love the moment. Sharing the joy of a rare moment in their son’s life,” while another kept it simple with, “Good for them Life is too short.” A third chimed in, saying, “Love this. Family first, always.”

But it wasn’t just about the heartfelt vibes for fans. A few took a moment to acknowledge Woods’ past and how far he’s come. One fan wrote, “I’ve been critical of Tiger over the yrs for his off course behaviour but I can definitely respect this. It takes time, healing & maturity to get to this point with your ex wife & its never easy (trust me I know). It’s important to have moments like this for the sake of your kids.”

For those unfamiliar with the backstory, Woods’ personal life took a massive hit back in 2009 when the news of his infidelity went viral. The fallout from that was huge, with his marriage to Elin falling apart in front of the world. But despite all of that, the two have stayed focused on co-parenting their kids, keeping things as amicable as possible. But, as many fans have noted, it wasn’t always easy. Woods received his fair share of criticism from fans, who were disappointed by his off-course behavior.

One comment summed it up perfectly: “Looks pretty cozy, says a lot that they could put so much hurt aside, especially Elin, and seem to have a genuine friendly relationship. Could have easily gone the other way, a testement to their parental priorities, their kids will certainly benefit from their example.”

In the end, this moment is more than just a family photo—it’s a sign of how much both Woods and Elin have grown and healed. It’s not always easy, but they’re showing that with time, you can put the past behind you and do what’s best for your kids. And that’s something fans can truly get behind.
