Tiger Woods’ two kids are his biggest fans — on and off the course!

The golf champion, who shares Sam Alexis, 16, and Charlie Axel, 14, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, has opened up in the past about the importance of fatherhood and having his kids by his side.

Back in 2015, when both kids were able to join their dad for his showing at the Masters Tournament, Tiger said having them there was a “full circle moment.”

“This tournament means so much to me in so many different ways,” he said at a news conference per ESPN. “We all know what happened in ’97 with my dad’s health, and he was pronounced, well, he was dead at one point earlier that year; came back, and then came here and I won the Masters. To now have come full circle and to have a chance to have my kids out there and be able to share that with them, it’s special.”

From being little ones on the sidelines, to playing golf right alongside him, here are some of the sweetest moments shared between Tiger and his two kids.

Bring It In

Charlie Woods

Tiger Woods shared a sweet moment with his two little ones Sam and Charlie at the 2015 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Sam complemented her dad’s hot pink polo in one of her own while her little bro sported a bright orange hoodie.

Proud Dad

Sam looked as cute as can be in her dad’s arms on the sidelines of a Stanford Cardinal football game in 2009 — where Tiger, an alumnus, was serving as an honorary captain.

Two Cheers!

Tiger and his son were truly in sync as they cheered on Rafael Nadal from the stands of the 2019 US Open in N.Y.C.

Tennis Fans

And Charlie isn’t the only one who has enjoyed some tennis alongside Dad. In 2015, Sam and Tiger took their seats in Nadal’s box at the US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to watch the star face off against Fabio Fognini.

Simone Biles recently shared a sweet message of encouragement for her husband Jonathan Owens and his NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, after they lost to the San Francisco 49ers.

The season originally got off to a slow start for the Packers, as they registered five losses in their first eight matches. However, they made quite a dramatic comeback near the tail end of their league matches, winning their last game against arch-rivals Chicago Bears.

However, despite the loss, Simone Biles was ready to root for Owens and his team. Taking to her Instagram story, she shared an adorable video of Owens running up to her at the sidelines and giving her a kiss before heading back to the game.

Celebrated as one of the most decorated athletes, Simone Biles has etched her name in history with her achievements. 2013 saw her emerge victorious in the Olympics. Since then, the star has been a household favorite. Even after her stint at the Tokyo Olympics, where she walked away from the stage owing to mental health issues, fans stood by her decision. And now, after an epic comeback at the World Championships, Biles has only sparked more excitement surrounding her return.

Simone Biles as fans know her

The gymnast had it rough in her childhood. Born to a mother who suffered from addiction and being abandoned, she and her four siblings found their way to foster homes. Eventually, grandparents Nellie and Ronald Biles adopted Simone and her sister Adria.

The star gymnast began her longtime tryst with the sport at the age of 6, when she first witnessed gymnastics during a day trip. Since then, Biles has been inseparable from the bars and beams to the extent that her parents ended up building a gym for her. The gym now hosts many aspiring gymnasts who aim to make it big like Biles.

Now, after multiple gold medals and Olympic appearances, the 26-year-old takes pride in mentoring young gymnasts and spending time with her family. Married to NFL icon Jonathan Owens in a lavish ceremony, Biles loves to support him from the sidelines during his matches.

Little-known facts about Simone Biles

Despite her popularity among the masses, the bubbly gymnast has many fun facts about her that fans may or may not know about. Starting from some of her quirks surrounding the sport, the gymnast has an entire turtle collection that she keeps up for good luck. She sometimes also carries a statue of Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes, during matches.

When it comes to her personal preferences, Biles once stated how she did not like cats and was afraid of spiders. Tragically, her dislike for cats was probably because of a childhood incident involving her neighborhood cat being well-fed while she and her siblings starved with their biological mother. On the bright side, the star loves dogs, grew up with German Shepherds, and now has two French Bulldogs.

Biles also grew up with a crush on Hollywood star Zac Efron. While she couldn’t sing and avoided activities like karaoke, she loved dancing both on the gymnastics floor and at the club. Tying up her love for music in general, the Olympian even admitted to listening to songs while preparing for performances along with her teammates.

What about her quirks surrounding sports?

In an interview with Vogue once, the gymnastics GOAT revealed some surprising facts surrounding gymnastics and other sports. If there was one sport she wished she could learn, it would be snowboarding. When it came to her field, Biles has five gymnastics moves named after her – one on the balance beam, two on the floor exercise, and two on the vault.

When it came to her field, Biles has five gymnastics moves named after her – one on the balance beam, two on the floor exercise, and two on the vault.

Another interesting thing about her gymnastics outfit is that while she has her apparel line associated with ‘GK Elite’, her competition leotards have a special feature. Amidst all the bling, her costumes often have the head of a goat made out of rhinestones to signify her status in the sport.

Such is Biles’ legacy that the newer generation also looks up to her contributions to the sport. With many upcoming gymnasts who keep her close as a mentor, friend, and inspiration, the star’s high position is justified. And that’s why she’s one of the most successful sportspersons to make it to the top.

Simone Biles cheered on husband Jonathan Owens from the sidelines as his team the Green Bay Packers competed in the playoffs, and expressed her support for him when they lost.

On Jan. 20, his team the Green Bay Packers lost 21-24 to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL playoffs, eliminating them from 2024 Super Bowl contention. A day later, the seven-time Olympic medalist, who had cheered on her husband at their away game at Levi’s Stadium and at many of his past games throughout the last few months, shared a message of support for the athlete.

“What a season,” Biles, 26, wrote on her Instagram Stories Jan. 21, alongside a video of herself and Owens, 28, kissing on the sidelines.

The Packers safety reposted his wife’s clip on his Instagram Stories.

Biles, the most decorated gymnast in the world, previously shared pics of herself getting her “game day glam” on while wearing a Packers tank top bearing Owens’ jersey number, 34.

The Olympian and NFL star married in Houston, where she was raised, last April. In December, Owens stirred controversy when he said on The Pivot podcast that the was the “catch” in his marriage to Biles. He added that he “didn’t know who she was” when they first matched on a dating app, as he “never really paid attention to gymnastics.”

Days later, the NFL player noted on Instagram he was “unbothered,” while Biles wrote on social media, “Are y’all done yet?” and “liked” several posts about the commentary, including one from a fan who wrote, “They annoying huh sis?”

Earlier this month, Owen doubled down on his statement that he didn’t know who Biles was at first, telling Vanity Fair, “A lot of people don’t believe me when I say I had no clue.”

Owens added, “I was like, man, she got a lot of followers, she must be pretty good.”

Look back at moments Biles proved she is the GOAT:

An Instagram influencer and proud mother, Rebeca Ciavarino, embraced the trend inspired by Kyle Juszczyk‘s wife Kristin Juszczyk’s popular NFL jersey puffer jackets. In a reel, she expressed a little disappointment with unused NFL jerseys at home. The trending designs sparked her creativity, leading to the creation of stylish puffer jackets.

Kristin Juszczyk’s NFL fashion designs gained widespread praise as Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes flaunted her handmade Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes coats.

Fans expressed excitement, particularly the female fanbase, seeking similar designs. The mix of puffer jackets and jerseys adds a stylish touch to game days in the chilly weather.

Notably, Rebeca also clarified that the inspiration came from Simone Biles’ jacket, not Taylor Swift‘s. Rebeca Ciavarino revealed more details about selling her customized designs, mentioning a $200 price for transforming a jersey into a puffer vest with a zipper. Here is a link to the details about the jackets.

She advised sourcing jerseys from platforms like Poshmark or Mercari for around $60, emphasizing the importance of using “real,” licensed NFL jerseys.

NFL Fans React To Rebeca’s Puffer Jacket Designs for just $200

Fans appreciated Rebeca’s transformation of an NFL jersey into a stylish puffer jacket. One Instagram user acknowledged the lack of attractive women’s gear from the NFL and commended Rebeca for utilizing her late uncle’s jersey creatively.

They praised her work despite a dislike for the Cowboys. Another fan expressed admiration for the creative effort, following with the disappointment of the team’s playoff exit.

Rebeca clarified the doubts of one of the Instagram users who was the inspiration behind her attempt to design the jacket. It was Simone Biles’s puffer jacket, not Taylor Swift’s. Fans praised her talent, with one expressing amazement and admiration.

Additionally, the emergence of style-conscious female fans blending fashion with game-day excitement is noteworthy. The trend, currently focused on puffer jackets, could pave the way for more innovative jersey styles in the future. Given the attention on WAGs’ game day outfits, there’s potential for NFL Shops to explore collaborations with such designers for trendy fan apparel.

Charlie Woods certainly has all the swagger that his father Tiger played with during his illustrious career.

The legendary golfer and his 14-year old son paired up to play in the PNC Championship for the fourth consecutive year. It’s an annual tournament in which professionals get a chance to play with one of their children or grandchildren.

Once again, the Woods pairing highlights a highly competitive field. While everyone knows about the prowess of Tiger, fans got a front-row seat to Charlie’s talents.

On the fifth hole in today’s round, the younger Woods stepped up to the tee for a drive and hit an absolute missile. Like father, like son.

But for a little extra dramatic effect, Charlie gently waived to the ball as it soared through the misty air. What this kid might lack in age and experience, he more than makes up for in confidence.

This drive wasn’t a stroke of beginner’s luck either. It seems like every time he gets to the tee, he nukes the poor ball into the stratosphere.

Just a few holes later, Charlie once again hit the first ball to begin the hole. The distance from the tee to the green was 321 yards, a fairly long distance for a teeneager.

But Charlie once again nuked the ball towards the green, and even a little too far. The ball bounced off the green, and set up a rather difficult shot.

Fortunately for Charlie, his dad is Tiger Woods. He’s got a knack for hitting the shots us mortals can’t hit.

The Woods pairing finished the tournament ranked tied for eight with a score of 20 under par. Not a bad showing.

But if Charlie keeps improving – and Tiger keeps playing like Tiger – who knows what damage they’ll do next year.

Amid fight negotiations, Gervonta Davis has named his price to fight in Saudi Arabia.

Responding to a fan comment on social media, Davis claimed that the Saudi Arabian representatives would need to incentivize him to fight there. He jokingly claimed that he would require two Ferraris from the nation to compete on their land.

Though Davis did not tweet Saudi advisor Turki Alashikh by name, many assumed the post was a message to him.

Davis did not state what Alashikh or the Saudi Arabian government did to upset him but seemed to imply that he has no intentions of ever traveling to the country to box.

Fan reactions ranged with some in support of Davis with others criticizing the champion for his refusal. As fans have quickly realized, Saudi Arabia has become a staple of boxing due to the nation’s recent string of hosting major events.

Some fans even concluded that Davis was scared to leave the United States.

Many fans who chose to comment appeared to believe that the recently-committed Muslim did not want to fight Devin Haney.

Other fans commented:

There was plenty of talk that Charlie Woods would be playing the same tees as John Daly at last year’s PNC Championship before the decision being corrected, but this time Tiger Woods’ son has indeed been moved back with some of the bigger hitters.

Woods Jnr will play from the 6,500+ yard tees at Orlando’s Ritz Carlton Golf Club this week, which are the same tees that the likes of John Daly, Nelly Korda, Vijay Singh and Retief Goosen will be hitting from.

The 14-year-old will likely be hitting the ball much further than last year and, although we have no data on his driving distance, we’d hazard a guess it’s somewhere between 250-270 yards considering John Daly has averaged 282 yards this year and Nelly Korda 269 yards.

“For the @PNCchampionship Charlie Woods will be moving back a tee from last year,” the Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“He will be playing the same tee as John Daly, Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen, Nelly Korda and Vijay Singh at 6,578 yds. @TigerWoods, aka Dad will play the tips at 7,106 yds.”

At last year’s PNC Championship, Charlie played from the tees allotted to pros aged 65-72, which included Bernhard Langer, Mark O’Meara, Nick Price and Nick Faldo. Annika Sorenstam was also off those tees, as well as Mike Thomas, Justin Thomas’ father, Nelly Korda’s father Petr and Matt Kuchar’s son Carson.

Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Will McGee, Annika Sorenstam’s 11-year-old son, were the three to use the most forward tees.

All of the male PGA Tour players will be off the backs this week, measuring over 7,100 yards, including Tiger Woods who makes his second appearance since undergoing ankle surgery in April.

Woods finished 18th in the four-day Hero World Challenge earlier this month, where he seemed very happy with how his body held up with the demand of 72-holes and walking – crucially this week he’ll be allowed a cart for the 36-hole event.

“I haven’t done it in a while, I haven’t done it with my ankle the way it is now and I was excited each and every day to kind of get through it and kind of start piecing rounds together again,” Woods said after the Hero World Challenge final round.

“I haven’t done this in a long time so it was fun to feel that again. Every day I got faster into the round. The first day took me a while to get a handle on it, second day was faster, today was right away.

“And that’s eventually, when I play on a regular basis, that’s normally how it is. It takes me usually during warmup before I get a feel for the round. To be honest, that first day took me a while.”

Team Woods make their fourth appearance at the PNC Championship, having finished T8th last year, 2nd in 2021 and 7th in 2020. Vijay and Qass Singh are this week’s defending champions.
