Throughout Woods’ career, his children have long been among his biggest fans, frequently watching him and cheering him on.
Just last year, after Woodswon the Masters Tournamentfor the fifth time — his first Major title in 11 years — he opened up about how “special” it was to have his son and daughterSam Alexis, 12, there to witness his triumph.
“Itmeans the world to me. Their love and their support, I just can’t say enough how much that meant to me throughout my struggles when I really just had a hard time moving around,” he told reporters at his winner’s press conference.
“But just to have them there, and then now to have them see their Pops win,just like my Pops saw me win here, it’s pretty special,” he added with a smile.

After years of injuryfour back surgeries, Woods explained that his kids, whom he shares with ex-wifeElin Nordegren, are finally starting to see golf as a positive for their father, instead of something that just caused him pain.
“I think the kids are starting to understand how much this game means to me, and some of the things I’ve done in the game; prior to comeback, they only knew that gold caused me a lot of pain. If I tried to swing a club I would be on the ground and I struggled for years, and that’s basically all they remember,” he said.
“Luckily I’ve had the procedure where that’s no longer the case and I can do this again. So, you know, we’re creating new memories for them, and it’s just very special,” he added.
Woods, who’s justone win awayfrom breaking the record for most wins on the PGA Tour, will make his2020 debutat the Farmers Insurance Open, which begins on Jan. 23.
