Tiger Woods, widely regarded as the greatest golfer of all time, has admitted that not everyone in his family shares the same enthusiasm for the sport that propelled him to legendary status.
The World Golf Hall of Fame inductee appeared on the TODAY Show with Carson Daly on Wednesday, May 1, to discuss how golf has affected his family, particularly his 16-year-old daughter Sam, who does not desire to pursue the game professionally.
"She has, I think, a negative connotation to the game... When she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her. I had to pack, and I had to leave, and I had to be gone for weeks, and there's a negative connotation to it," the 48-year-old said on the show.
Despite that, the situation provided a silver lining in their father-daughter relationship.
"We developed our own relationship, our own rapport that's outside of golf, that we do things that doesn't involve golf," Woods added.
Tiger Woods' son Charlie loves golf
On the other hand, Woods' 15-year-old son Charlie has shown a keen interest in the sport, and Woods is present to guide him.
"Meanwhile, my son and I, we do everything golf-related," the five-time Masters tournament winner shared.
Charlie Woods recently fell short in his U.S. Open qualifying attempt last month, but he will be competing at the 2024 Future Masters tournament in late June.
