Tiger Woods becomes a Dad
By Audrey Nolan
One day after he finished second in the US open, Tiger Wood’s wife Elin Woods gave birth to a little girl. He announced Monday night on his web site that Sam Alexis Woods was born early Monday morning.
"Both Elin and Sam are doing well and resting peacefully," Woods wrote “We want to thank our doctors and the hospital staff for all their dedicated and hard work. This is truly a special time in our lives and we look forward to introducing Sam to our family and friends over the next few weeks. We thank everyone for their well wishes and continued respect of our privacy."
Woods said he would miss a major tournament if it meant seeing the birth of his child. Now he won't have to, but it's not clear how his upcoming schedule will be affected. He's scheduled to host a tournament in Washington, D.C., from July 5-8. The British Open starts July 19, and the PGA Championship begins Aug. 9 at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa.
"I'm pacing myself already just because of the fact that I have a baby coming up," Woods said couple of weeks ago. "I don't know how much I'm going to play after that or how much I'm going to play before that. A lot of that is depending on what happens and the health of Elin and our child."
The last two years have been life-changing for Woods, who has won 12 majors in his brilliant career. His father, Earl, died at age 74 in May 2006 after a long bout with cancer. A month later, Woods failed to make the cut at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot. He came back to win the British Open in July and broke down in tears on the 18th green at Royal Liverpool.
In December, Woods went public with his wife's pregnancy. Last week, before the U.S. Open he talked about becoming a father and how happy he was. We hope everything is fine for them now.
