Tiger Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren display a cordial reunion at their son Charlie Woods’ ring ceremony after his triumph in the Florida State Golf Championship. The parents join Charlie on stage as he accepts a medal for his championship performance.
Tiger sports a white T-shirt paired with a navy blazer, while Elin wears a navy and orange sweater in her son’s team colors. This family gathering follows their support three months earlier at the state championship, where they engage in warm conversations.
Co-Parenting Amid Past Challenges
The couple married in 2004 and welcomed children Sam and Charlie before their 2010 divorce amid Tiger’s publicized affairs. Yet, they prioritize their kids, fostering a strong co-parenting relationship.
In a 2015 interview, Tiger Woods reflects on their bond: “She’s 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.” He adds, “She talks to me about her life, I talk to her about my life. We try to help each other out on all occasions. And we work through it with the kids, the parenting program. She is one of my best friends now, and it’s all because of my kids…We’ve worked so hard at co-parenting.”
Family Updates and Talented Offspring
Seven years post-divorce, Elin Nordegren partners with NFL player Jordan Cameron. They share children Arthur, age six, Zeta, three, and Freya, one.
The Woods-Nordegren children excel in sports. Eighteen-year-old Sam competes in soccer at Stanford University, while 17-year-old Charlie commits to golf at Florida State University starting in 2027.
Modern Recruiting and Father-Son Moments
Tiger Woods discusses Charlie’s recruitment process: “It’s been very different, the recruiting process. Now, you have cellphones. We didn’t have cellphones. We would have written letters that would show up in the mailbox. It’s just very different how fast coaches can communicate with the family members and the player that they’re trying to recruit.”
He notes, “It’s just a different world. Not saying it’s good or bad, it’s just different.”
Father and son team up at the 2024 PNC Championship, creating cherished memories. Tiger calls it “one of the highlights that we’ve ever had.” He recounts, “We were talking on the hole previous, he made his first eagle. And now he just made his first hole-in-one. It was a magical two-hole stretch. I’m just so happy for him and for the enjoyment that we had as a family.”
Tiger’s Current Relationship
Off the golf course, Tiger Woods dates Vanessa Trump, former wife of Donald Trump Jr. The couple reveals their romance on Instagram in March 2025. Tiger writes, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
