Tiger Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren shared an awkward but proud reunion at their son Charlie Woods’ latest golf achievement. The 15-year-old recently led his team to victory at the Class 1A State Golf Championship—a win that Tiger himself never earned during his legendary career.
Charlie’s triumph was a sweet moment for the Woods family, with Charlie now sporting a championship medal and ring. “Having a win over him and having something he doesn’t—it feels pretty good,” Charlie said. A snapshot of the family showed Tiger peering over at his son, while Elin, who was also accompanied by her 4-year-old son Arthur (from her relationship with former NFL star Jordan Cameron), stood nearby.
Nearly 15 years after their highly publicized split in 2009, Elin and Tiger have settled into a co-parenting routine for their two children. The picture of them together marked how far they’ve come since Tiger’s infamous cheating scandal, which led to their divorce. In 2010, Tiger publicly apologized, saying, “I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior,” adding that they were focused on doing what was best for their kids.
Today, the ex-couple’s bond has grown stronger, united in their support of Charlie’s budding golf career. Despite Tiger’s five Masters victories, he joked with his son, “No pressure, Charlie—Dad’s only a five-time champion!” The moment captured the Woods-Nordegren family’s evolution from a difficult past to a united front as they navigate their children’s futures.
