Tiger Woods is a world-renowned golfer with a huge list of accomplishments. He lives and breathes the sport. With eight major championships and the record for the longest consecutive run of ranking first in golf, he is an inspiration to many and a golfing legend.
It’s difficult to imagine the dedicated, competitive former world number one loving anything more than the sport. But once, in an interview, Tiger said that he loved being around his family much more than he loved the sport. He said, “It’s all about them. Whatever they want to do, we do. When I don’t have them, I can practice a bit more, but when I’m around them, it’s all about them.”

Woods took some time off , and upon his return, 6 months later, he claimed to have found some stability, “My life has certainly a lot more balance and is more where it needs to be now than it was then.”
Since the incident that took place, Woods has been quite involved in the lives of his children. Despite how scandalously his marriage ended, Woods and his children are extremely close. He said in an interview with Shane O’Donohue, “To spend time with them it’s the greatest thing in the world. Being present for your kids is far more valuable than anything you do.”
Tiger Woods and his strong relationship with his family now
Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie, are very often on the course together. Charlie shares a love for golf, just like his father. Woods also served as Charlie’s caddie and carried around his golf bag at a junior golf tournament early in 2020.

Wood’s daughter, Sam, whom he once described as “creative and arty,” isn’t as interested in golf as her father or brother. She, on the other hand, is rather fond of soccer. Tiger and Sam often attend professional games together, and he is with her for the majority of her soccer sessions.
