The Truth About Tiger Woods' Son Charlie Woods

Charlie Woods, the youngest child of golf legend Tiger Woods, has already made his mark in the golf world, and at a remarkably young age. Here is the untold truth about Tiger’s son Charlie. Tiger Woods and his then-wife Elin Nordegren welcomed their second child Charlie Axel Woods on February 8th, 2009. Announcing the birth of the child in a statement on Tiger Woods' website, the parents wrote, "We had a couple names and Charlie just fit. As far as the Axel, that’s Elin’s brother’s name so we wanted to make sure it stayed in the family.” Some observers theorized that the first name was a reference to the late Charlie Sifford, the first Black golfer to become a PGA Tour member. There was even a personal connection, too: Sifford was a close friend of Tiger's late father, Earl Woods, and, according to the Associated Press, Sifford referred to Tiger as his "grandson." Likewise, Tiger felt a similar sentiment, telling the Los Angeles Times, quote, "He's like the Grandpa I never had." Granted, Tiger hasn't publicly linked Charlie's name to the personal connection on his father's side, but given the tribute they used for Charlie's middle name, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
