Tiger Woods Wife, Kids, Siblings, Parents (Family Members)
Tiger Woods is a famous golfer as well as one of the richest sportsmen of all time. He can boast of 14 victories in Major tournaments and 79 victories in PGA. Additionally, he is a double winner of Laureus World Sports Awards.
Despite the fact that many people know who Woods is, very few know that he set his very first record at the age of just 9 months. Due to his father’s huge desire and energy, a little kid poked the ball into a hole during one of the US tournaments. Then, in 1984, at the age of 8, he took part in the first international golf tournament, where he easily won. Year after year, Tiger was getting more and more professional, winning awards and trophies. Nowadays, he is one of the most successful golfers.
And now, let’s have a closer look at the celebrity’s family.
A father Earl played basketball while studying at the University. Then he served in Vietnam twice. He was a recognized figure in the world of sports thanks to son’s achievements. It should be said, that Earl used to train Tiger since childhood and was his biggest inspiration in life. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2006, aged 74 from cancer.
Before marrying a legendary sportsman’s mother Kultida, Earl had been married to a woman named Barbara Gary with whom he fathered three children. In 1969 he tied the knot with Kultida, who gave birth to a golf legend. The couple has been together since their wedding and until husband’s death.
From dad’s first marriage, the champion golfer has three half-siblings with Earl Jr. being the oldest one. He was born in 1955 and was the first child in a family. According to Earl Jr. Tiger Woods is a real snob, who doesn’t have any desire to communicate with half-siblings.
Kevin is another half-brother, who resides in Kansas and is in need of help because of multiple sclerosis. Even though he asked for celebrity’s financial support, he didn’t get anything.
The third half-sibling is Royce and she is the only female born. It is not known what her occupation is or whether she is married. What we know for sure is that she is also not in touch with Woods.
The famous golfer had been married only once to Elin Maria Nordegren since 2004 and up till 2010. The two love birds met through a pro golfer Jesper Parnevik in 2001. Elin first worked as a nanny in Parnevik’s family but when she started dating Wood, she began pursuing modeling career.
It seemed like they had a strong marriage everyone could be jealous of until the events in 2009. It was found out that Tiger is a multiple cheater, who had affairs with over 100 women. Of course, this news immediately led to a divorce. However, for the sake of kids, they keep communicating and according to the golf star, they are doing great.
Together with Elin, a sportsman has two children with a daughter Sam being the elder one. She was delivered in 2007 and just a few hours after her birth, the whole Internet was talking about Sam, as parents shared her cute pictures. The girl is now very interested in soccer and spends a lot of time playing and practicing it.
Two years later, the celebrity welcomed a son Charlie. He decided to follow dad’s steps and participated in US Kids Golf event in 2016. Looks like both kids are planning to pursue sports career.
