Tiger expecting first child this summer

By Mark Soltau

GolfDigest.com

 

Tiger and Elin Woods will become first-time parents this summer, the world's top-ranked golfer announced Saturday.

 

The couple did not disclose the month of birth or whether the child is a boy or girl.

 

"Obviously, we couldn't be happier and our families are thrilled," said Woods, who turned 31 Saturday. "I have always wanted to be a dad. I just wish my father could be around to share the experience."

 

Woods was introduced to his future wife by fellow tour player Jesper Parnevik. The former Elin Nordegren, who turns 27 on Jan. 1, was a successful model in Sweden. They began dating and became engaged in November 2003 in South Africa, where Tiger was competing in the Presidents Cup. The couple was married on Oct. 5, 2004 during a private ceremony of family and close friends in Barbados.

 

"I'm going to stick close to home for the next few week," Woods said. "As I said on my Web site Friday, I'm going to start my 2007 PGA Tour season at the Buick Invitational in late January, which will allow Elin and I to spend more time with our families during this very special time in our lives."

Best of Luck to Tiger and Elin!

Woods vs. Woods for the 2026 Masters.

 

"This is the longest match in golf history. They each shot 18 under in all 4 rounds and have played 283 playoff holes"

Oh God No! That means if any of us juniors here make it on the PGA tour...we'll be like 30 and here's this 16 year old whipping our asses at golf!

[ocobb]

Goodness Gracious, here come the tiger cubs

[golfebj]

OK, whose going to want to play in the Father-Son challenge when the kid gets old enough.

 

*imagines pga pros throwing down clubs with their hands in their yelling "I quit" when team Woods shows up*

So this means the over under on Tiger's tournaments for the year is now what 10?

 

This probably isn't good for the FedEx cup lol since the baby will probably be born in July/August...this at least gives Tiger an excuse for not wanting to play.

 

Also the President's Cup may have taken a hit too, not to mention possibly the British Open and/or PGA Championship.

 

LOL though @ the Father/Son Challenge comment...we have 50 year old Tiger probably still winning majors and 20 year old Earl (come on we know hes gonna do it.) shooting something like -35 over 4 days. The Mickelson's (daughter counts), Garcia's (its gonna happen eventually) and the Scott's (see Garcia's comment) will be shaking in their spikes.

[Ducky]

Its a girl, no father/son tournaments.

 

:fool:

[salblz]

Congratulations Tiger. May your first child be a masculine child. :fool:

[Orientblue3]

Awesome! About time. I'm alittle worried he may take a lot of time off 9 months from now to be with his child. Which is well deserved and great but sucks for golf fans because who knows how long he will take off. I would think quite a while.

[mcbush25]

I figured they would have a child within the next two years, but not yet. I am sure he will be just as good a father to his child or children as his dad was to him.

It's going to be a girl...and she will kick Wie's butt when she is 10!

If it's a girl, let's hope that there's no "Billy Joel Effect".

 

The Billy Joel Effect is defined as the female offsping of a famous couple (one being an entertainer and the other being his gorgeous model wife) ending up looking like the father rather than the mother.

 

(With apologies to Alexis Ray Joel, whom we all know would rather look like mom Christie Brinkley than like dad Billy Joel.)

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Woods, I wish them the best of luck in the most wonderful thing they have ever done.

[HipCheck]

The question is, what kind of nanny does a Swedish nanny get for her own kid? :fool: This is interesting...

[tbarr15]

Does someone know for sure that its a girl?

I think your standards may be a little high.

What if...The kid doesn't like golf, I can't believe I'm saying that. But you never know he could get into another sport and like it more. And if Tiger is like his dad he won't be pushy about making him golf. Because when Tiger was growing up he wanted to go everday his dad never pushed him, or according to a book about Tiger I read. It was a great book..anyways.

 

Now if the kid does play golf he will probably be amazing and dominant the PGA tour and be like a god in golf.

 

 

Congrats to Tiger and Elin!
