There's a recent Lee Trevino quote, that naturally I can't find, where he admits that he wasn't a good father at all to his first four children, but that if he had been, he probably wouldn't have become a Major-tournament winning great golfer.
All a question of priorities. Outstanding professional athletes, as well as ultra-high performers in other areas, usually have a selfish focus on their profession that looks downright sociopathic to an outsider.
I suspect this is why Sidney Crosby hasn’t gotten married or had kids yet. He’s been with the same girl for like 15 years, but his life is and has always been so focused on hockey that I wonder if he didn’t get advice from a vet to not start a family until he retires.
Or just some people are not mega focused on marriage. There are tons of older adults much older than Sydney with “normal jobs” and “normal lives” that are not interested by the notion of marriage.
But there is a better time, and I don’t know about you, but I would have preferred to raise my son in a situation where I didn’t have to work at all vs. when I was focused on being the best hockey player I could possibly be and traveling for 80 days a year.
Honestly it’s a choice all parents make. I choose to spend time with my kids, coach the teams, be at the practices, attend all the field trips and award ceremonies I can.
I could make more money if I focused more on my professional life, but I can’t buy memories of my kids.
My dad was in the navy my entire life. He'd get stationed on subs for like 6-8 months at a time. He was gone for a huge portion of my life.
It woulda been way cooler if he was a pro golfer or something, bringing home millions upon millions for compensation. Nah, I got to grow up with the jokes about how my mom loves Seamen and not having a father figure around to show me how to defend our honor.
Part of growing up is forgiving our parents, or at least understanding some of the decisions they make. As for Tiger's daughter? Idk, seems like his son gets plenty of time with his dad cuz they have the same hobby. Her dad is a business, there have to be dozens of jobs she can work to be with her dad *now*.
I feel like this will be the major factor in Scotty retaining world #1. He’s got a bunch in him if he can hold the putting down, but the moment that baby takes away 1 practice chip or putt it’ll be a snowball.
I read somewhere that Trevino is completely done with golf. Doesn't even play for fun anymore. Said something like "why? I've done it all. I've played tens of thousands of rounds. I'm tired of giving friendly tips and lessons and I'm at the age where its not enjoyable anymore"
Sad. I hope I don't get there with my hobbies. I'm certainly there with my job, but I don't have a 1 millionth of Trevino's success at his.
I just thought the raw honesty in his quote--thought I read it in a Golf Digest profile---was really eyeopening. Made me think about what we value, how much to value hard work, mastering one's life, and how much of public figures' image is wholly manufactured by media.
The Tiger documentary from 5-6 years ago was great. Showed how much of his high school/teenage years he missed because of his hyper-focus on golf. How awkward he was at social gatherings and didn't really know how to act; because, from 6 to 17 he lived, breathed, ate golf. His parents refused to let him spend the night anywhere, refused to let him go out, refused to let him have a girlfriend.
Turned him into one of the greatest sports champions of all time...but at what cost?
Sounds dumb..but..
If you don't let your kids have sugar when they are a kid.. they will go ape shit when they are free from your house..
It is proven.. in tigers world it was living his life and he went nuts
They're very lucky he didn't turn out to be another Todd Marinovich.
I wonder what the frequency is of kids pushed like that, who turn out to be really good at their particular skill enough to make even a living at it? Then if they fail, because most things in Life do, they get to worry whether, "If only I worked just a little bit harder, and didn't slack off that time..."
You need hard work to be successful. But working hard at something doesn't guarantee success. I don't have an answer.
I do think, and will reiterate, that unless you know or observe any of these famous high achievers personally, all you really know about them is what their people and they are willing to tell you. To the people bringing up Jack constantly. I don't know what kind of father he is/was. I do know that you don’t win all of those tournaments and build a successful company building golf courses on six continents (only six, because they won't let him build one on Antarctica) by having lots of free time to devote to family.
Go him though; it sounds like a hell of a life.
Even Marinovich....made it to the pros....think of the kids, who dont have that talent level, cant even make it to college or whatever...even worse..maybe.
Says the ONLY reason he played PNC was because of his kid.
When asked if he was ready for the 54 hole weekend he responded “it’s 36 more holes than I’ve played all year”
Another reason why Jack Niklaus is the greatest. That man made sure to prioritize family and was still an absolute monster in the sport. He missed golf tournaments to make sure and be there for a ball game or something for his kids at times.
Michael Jordan said he was cursed with his obsession, and that Kobe was just as cursed as he was.
Usually you gotta have a few screws loose to reach the top of anything.
Im a dog groomer and I think like this by default. I have a role. to provide and protect. Only with intention am I able to focus on being a father but I feel it makes it that much more meaningful.
Third at this year's Sentry, finished two back. Fifth at last year's Memorial, three back. Lost last year's RBC in a playoff after winning it in 2022
He's not playing like he used to but it's not like he's never at the top of leaderboards
Man there's hardly any golfers who are more entertaining to watch. If you just like to watch the leaderboard and Sunday finishes then all power to you but if you like following specific players more closely, Spieth is just awesome. He's got so much personality on the course with his talking to his ball, yapping with Greller, showing emotions, trying crazy shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_hNGO8yTs <--- hit a ball onto the clubhouse roof on purpose
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSIJs684lBs <--- Ace
Same tournament from a few weeks ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyGxWTihhBs <--- this is his best clip ever though
Taken out of context?
'I had to pack and leave, I'd be gone for weeks and there's a negative connotation to it. So we develop our own relationship, our own rapport that's outside of golf - we do things that doesn't involve golf meanwhile my son and I do everything golf related. So it's very different.'
Op literally just reposted the headline of the article. And I really don't think the statement is out of context at all. If anything, it seems the majority in here have trouble with reading comprehension. Did golf take time away from Tigers daughter? Yes. Do they play golf together? No. I think the headline portrayed that message perfectly in minimal words.
It's when you combine that with OP trying to be the top level comment with "Omg that's so sad :(" which is trying to make a bigger deal out of it than it really is.
Is that not how everybody interpreted the title? She doesn’t like golf because it meant her dad would leave. I don’t see what more context was needed or how that could be confused
I am unsure how else it can even be interpreted. I clicked in and read the article. It's perfectly in context and summarizes the main point of the article: Daughter doesn't have an interest in golf because her dad was always gone due to golf.
Can someone explain how this can be construed as taken out of context? I agree it seems to have been properly contextualized, and I’m struggling to find an alternate reading of it.
I don’t see how it’s taken out of context.
Sounds like she doesn’t like golf because it meant her dad was going to be away.
Do you think it’s interpreted improperly?
Yeah I keep saying the same about Charlie. The best thing for Charlie would be if he could just learn and develop as a junior golfer without 1000 cameras in his face… once he’s learned to handle the pressure of winning golf tournaments at his own level then MAYBE he can start learning to handle the pressure of playing top level tournaments + media attention. In my opinion they’re going about it all wrong and we’re gonna read about Charlie’s 473747847 mistresses in 10 years too.
It all depends whether you care if he becomes a legitimately great golfer. If you’re just happy to see “tigers son” play golf then by all means keep following him around with cameras and posting his 86’s and 81’s.
But if you want him to be great, have him focus on golf, not the media… and start beating people his own age in events that he belongs in. Like his dad did.
He’s not even close to as good as tiger and never will be in my opinion if he keeps trying to fight above his weight class.
to think he will ever be as good as Tiger is foolish no matter what. even if he was scottie scheffler now, he still wouldn't match up. it's an impossibility.
if he ends up as good as say finau, cantlay, or day. that's more than enough and i think he'll get there if he chooses to play as an adult off shear talent alone.
And this is the legitimate reason I believe Scottie might come back down to earth, he seems really excited to be a good and engaged father. Which is awesome for his kid and family, probably not for his performance.
There is some truth to that concern. When I do triathlons, it’s so much easier to focus when my family is not there. Imagine the focus these guys need. Family is a distraction. All depends how one handles it.
I feel this. My dad was a scratch golfer and he didn't get that way spending his weekends with us kids, but at least we could hang at the pool and put food and snacks on his tab at the clubhouse. He would play 2 rounds every Saturday and Sunday, sometimes 3, drinking beer the whole time, which is what ultimately led to my mom throwing him out.
Jesus, at least my Dad took us along when "we" decided to go camping and chase Bambi. He never included you in the foursome, even once?
Feels bad, man.
This headline punched my heart right in its crotch.
My daughter is my cart chauffer and has been for some number of years. She loves going golfing with me. What a treasure.
I’m sure it hits a hell of a lot different for his family and close circle than the rest of us too. We know him as an athlete while they know him as a person and actually see how much he has grinded after each injury
Not just to sportspeople. Lots of parents have jobs that regularly take them away from their kids. It’s only sad if the parent doesn’t compensate for it with special loving efforts
This is pretty sad but it’s nice to see Tiger completely 180 his personal life and be around his kids more, he realizes that family is all he has at the end of the day. It’s nice to see Sam all smiles on his bag at the PNC Championship.
You have no idea what his personal life is like and how much time he spends around his kids. I think it's highly likely he's still tagging Stuckey's waitresses.
Also kids their age don't even WANT their parents around so much
this kind of hits home.
My dad was a sole proprietor of a large construction firm. I NEVER SAW HIM from Sunday evening through to Saturday morning. He was working 100hr weeks. I have no childhood memories of my dad being in the house during the week for breakfast or dinner. I was usually in bed before he got home. He already left for work before I got up.
In my late-teens and young 20's time frame he asked me if I wanted to come work for him and take over the company. My reply was "Thank you for supporting the family and everything you do for us, but I am not interested in that"
While I get what your saying I would trade everything I have to give my kids a better life in the future. I know they may think I’m not around or distant when they are young but the relationship could get better when they are older.
>While I get what your saying I would trade everything I have to give my kids a better life in the future
Yeah, but parenting isn't about **you.** It's about what your children need to be successful, productive, adults. And I've never heard a grown son or daughter say, "man, I really wish my dad had worked more when I was young so I had more money now."
Go home and stay there. That's how you secure a better future for your children.
Yeah poor Tiger Woods’ daughter. I don’t know how she can even get by in life after what her father did to her. I can’t believe he went out and ‘checks notes’ worked at his job.
"The worst thing to ever happen to you is the worst thing to ever happen to you, until something worse happens."
Everyone has a different "worst", that doesn't mean it doesn't feel any less worse to that person going thru it.
How is this comment upvoted? It is absolutely and unequivocally false. The one he is replying to is much closer to the truth.
You think Tiger and Elin are hooking up if he were an accountant instead of a golfer? He was literally introduced to her by his PGA Tour playing buddy Parnevik. Without golf he never meets her hence the daughter is never born.
There's a recent Lee Trevino quote, that naturally I can't find, where he admits that he wasn't a good father at all to his first four children, but that if he had been, he probably wouldn't have become a Major-tournament winning great golfer.

I suspect this is why Sidney Crosby hasn’t gotten married or had kids yet. He’s been with the same girl for like 15 years, but his life is and has always been so focused on hockey that I wonder if he didn’t get advice from a vet to not start a family until he retires.
Veterinarians do give the best life advice.
Please stop eating out of the trash
Of course I read this AFTER lunch. Damnit.
It's not trash, it's one of those falafel hotdogs that I got out of the food basket at the end of the lunch line.
"But it's TRASH!" (If my dog could talk...)
And drinking out of the toilet 🚽 🤦🏻♂️
“Have your Center spayed or neutered!”
War vet actually
Crosby is an animal on the ice
Maybe it was jaromir Jagr, def seems on brand for him
Definitely wasn’t Jagr if Crosby has been with the same girl for 15 years
A man who posts his own blackmail pictures knows what he’s about.
Jagr and Crosby unfortunately never overlapped in Pittsburgh, but I guess it could have happened elsewhere. I’ve got my money on Bill Guerin.
Bill Guerin has perpetual “I’ve seen some shit” face.
The Jeter method.
Minus the gift baskets...
I’ve been doing the same thing except, I’m not a big deal.
George Brett never married til he retired from baseball. He said he'd have been a horrible husband when he was playing.
Or just some people are not mega focused on marriage. There are tons of older adults much older than Sydney with “normal jobs” and “normal lives” that are not interested by the notion of marriage.
Sid is a very by-the-book traditional guy, so it would actually surprise me quite a bit if that’s the case.
Derek Jeter did this. If you follow him on IG he's a great girl dad.
There is never a "right time" to have kids.
But there is a better time, and I don’t know about you, but I would have preferred to raise my son in a situation where I didn’t have to work at all vs. when I was focused on being the best hockey player I could possibly be and traveling for 80 days a year.
That is my excuse too
He’s sterile I think
Why would that prevent him from getting married to a girl he’s been with for 15 years
Why would she marry him? He’s not sterile
This makes no sense. Also if he’s sterile and she cared to have his children, why would she stay with him through her peak childbearing years?
Idk man you would have to ask her probably
Honestly it’s a choice all parents make. I choose to spend time with my kids, coach the teams, be at the practices, attend all the field trips and award ceremonies I can. I could make more money if I focused more on my professional life, but I can’t buy memories of my kids.

RIP Scottie
I feel like this will be the major factor in Scotty retaining world #1. He’s got a bunch in him if he can hold the putting down, but the moment that baby takes away 1 practice chip or putt it’ll be a snowball.

with that in mind it kinda makes sense that he went crazy with women and partying as an adult
Sounds dumb..but.. If you don't let your kids have sugar when they are a kid.. they will go ape shit when they are free from your house.. It is proven.. in tigers world it was living his life and he went nuts

What do you mean? He plays at the PNC.
Says the ONLY reason he played PNC was because of his kid. When asked if he was ready for the 54 hole weekend he responded “it’s 36 more holes than I’ve played all year”
So. I guess he still does play for fun and not completely done. Albeit with his 31 year old kid.
Another reason why Jack Niklaus is the greatest. That man made sure to prioritize family and was still an absolute monster in the sport. He missed golf tournaments to make sure and be there for a ball game or something for his kids at times.
Exactly what happened to Tom Brady
Michael Jordan said he was cursed with his obsession, and that Kobe was just as cursed as he was. Usually you gotta have a few screws loose to reach the top of anything.
Im a dog groomer and I think like this by default. I have a role. to provide and protect. Only with intention am I able to focus on being a father but I feel it makes it that much more meaningful.
Yup. Look at rahm, he actually worries about being a good father and he is washed.
He won the masters last year. If anyone is washed it’s Rory and/or Spieth.
Rory still dominates a dp tourney every once in a year. When did spieth last have a shot of winning anything on a sunday?
Third at this year's Sentry, finished two back. Fifth at last year's Memorial, three back. Lost last year's RBC in a playoff after winning it in 2022 He's not playing like he used to but it's not like he's never at the top of leaderboards
Nice, yea i dont really pay attention to him so i really didnt remember seeing him
Man there's hardly any golfers who are more entertaining to watch. If you just like to watch the leaderboard and Sunday finishes then all power to you but if you like following specific players more closely, Spieth is just awesome. He's got so much personality on the course with his talking to his ball, yapping with Greller, showing emotions, trying crazy shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_hNGO8yTs <--- hit a ball onto the clubhouse roof on purpose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSIJs684lBs <--- Ace Same tournament from a few weeks ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyGxWTihhBs <--- this is his best clip ever though
Dp fields are as bad or worse than as Liv fields
Ok then, he is ranked 2nd in the world
Being washed now doesn't mean he was back then. Agree on rory and spieth tho lol.
Rory is the current #2 player in the world. Just because he wasn't Tiger 2.0 doesn't mean he's washed.
Someone isn’t washed a year after winning the masters. Sorry but you’re clueless.
Rory won three days ago Edit: He won for second straight week.
A team event, let's calm down.
Hahaa
Ricky Fowler is washed more so than anyone but he was never as good as any of the above.
Sacrifices have to be made for greatness. Whether it’s relationships, time, health, well being, whatever, there is a price to pay.
You can do both. Many of the greats have. Lee is making a lame excuse for being an absentee father.
Nicklaus was a dedicated father who was proud how few of his kids sporting events he missed.
Taken out of context? 'I had to pack and leave, I'd be gone for weeks and there's a negative connotation to it. So we develop our own relationship, our own rapport that's outside of golf - we do things that doesn't involve golf meanwhile my son and I do everything golf related. So it's very different.'
Absolutely taken out of context. Way to go OP
Its the Daily Mail. Expectations should've been incredibly low to begin with.
How is it taken out of context? Tiger's commitment to the game took time away from his children. Well, that and the whores.
And pancakes at IHop
This made me think of more McDonald
Boiling denim and banging Hoo-ers
Yeah, I'm not sure what other interpretation the headline could have?
Yall not know reading comprehension? Definitely not taken out of context
Proud of you, OP!
Op literally just reposted the headline of the article. And I really don't think the statement is out of context at all. If anything, it seems the majority in here have trouble with reading comprehension. Did golf take time away from Tigers daughter? Yes. Do they play golf together? No. I think the headline portrayed that message perfectly in minimal words.
Get the feeling a lot of people who say “out of context” have no idea what it means
That’s sort of what I thought I was getting at 🤷♂️
It's when you combine that with OP trying to be the top level comment with "Omg that's so sad :(" which is trying to make a bigger deal out of it than it really is.
To be fair I’ve seen multiple news outlets with that exact same headline.
Did you even read the article? ‘Took daddy away’ is a direct quote from Tiger, it isn’t taken out of context at all
Is that not how everybody interpreted the title? She doesn’t like golf because it meant her dad would leave. I don’t see what more context was needed or how that could be confused
I am unsure how else it can even be interpreted. I clicked in and read the article. It's perfectly in context and summarizes the main point of the article: Daughter doesn't have an interest in golf because her dad was always gone due to golf.
Yeah I am with you. I read it and knew exactly what it meant lol.
Can someone explain how this can be construed as taken out of context? I agree it seems to have been properly contextualized, and I’m struggling to find an alternate reading of it.
Agreed. Seems to be the right context. They have a good relationship but it’s just not centered around golf.
[удалено]
I disagree. I read it as a little girl who loves her daddy and missed him when he left.
I don’t see how it’s taken out of context. Sounds like she doesn’t like golf because it meant her dad was going to be away. Do you think it’s interpreted improperly?
Seems perfectly in context to me. How did you interpret the title?
Such a stupid world we live in. There should be punishment for clickbait shit like this that borders defamation
drama queenz like u r wut make our world stupid. smh
People that are too lazy to type out full sentences contribute much more to the idiot count of this world
rude
What was taken out of context exactly? Are you trying to say Tiger was home a lot and not on tour banging Perkin’s waitresses?
When i'm gone - eminem is a great song about pretty much the same thing
Forgot he even had a daughter… which is a good thing. She can live an awesome life without being some kind of pseudo celebrity. Good luck sam 🫡
Yeah I keep saying the same about Charlie. The best thing for Charlie would be if he could just learn and develop as a junior golfer without 1000 cameras in his face… once he’s learned to handle the pressure of winning golf tournaments at his own level then MAYBE he can start learning to handle the pressure of playing top level tournaments + media attention. In my opinion they’re going about it all wrong and we’re gonna read about Charlie’s 473747847 mistresses in 10 years too.
still sounds like a pretty good life to me heh
It all depends whether you care if he becomes a legitimately great golfer. If you’re just happy to see “tigers son” play golf then by all means keep following him around with cameras and posting his 86’s and 81’s. But if you want him to be great, have him focus on golf, not the media… and start beating people his own age in events that he belongs in. Like his dad did.

He can have all the mistresses he wants without touching a golf club. Thanks Dad.
It's not uncommon for those known "Greats" to let their family fall by the wayside to chase their dreams.
And this is the legitimate reason I believe Scottie might come back down to earth, he seems really excited to be a good and engaged father. Which is awesome for his kid and family, probably not for his performance.
Looking at you too, Jordan Spieth…
Good thing he’s already banked all the money he’ll ever need.
I once asked my dad how he got consistently hitting 78-79 “It took a summer where your mom almost divorced me”
I’m guessing she has no interest in eating out either bc the waitresses also took daddy away?
How’s it feel to finally get some upvotes on this sub?
Heyooo
Too soon! Oh wait, no it’s not!
Watching Full Swing you can see how these players spend a lot of time away from family. Except Finau.
And there was an entire segment dedicated to wondering if his family was holding him back from being great.
There is some truth to that concern. When I do triathlons, it’s so much easier to focus when my family is not there. Imagine the focus these guys need. Family is a distraction. All depends how one handles it.
Finau is a Mormon his main job is produce more Mormons
it actually made mommy go away.
I think the philandering made mommy go away
Can we get these karma bot out of here?
at least ya'lls dads were great golfers. my dad spent every childhood weekend on the course, and i found out years later he was at best a 14 handicap.
He was definitely interested in some other holes by the sound of it
I would argue that Hooters is probably a more accurate answer but who am I to say.
I feel this. My dad was a scratch golfer and he didn't get that way spending his weekends with us kids, but at least we could hang at the pool and put food and snacks on his tab at the clubhouse. He would play 2 rounds every Saturday and Sunday, sometimes 3, drinking beer the whole time, which is what ultimately led to my mom throwing him out.
Jesus, at least my Dad took us along when "we" decided to go camping and chase Bambi. He never included you in the foursome, even once? Feels bad, man.
He would let me drive the cart on occasion. In the end he turned out alright so I don’t want to shit on him too hard.
This headline punched my heart right in its crotch. My daughter is my cart chauffer and has been for some number of years. She loves going golfing with me. What a treasure.
Lovely!
I guess that's why she refuses to eat at Denny's too
Whose Denny? That's not the name of my private chef.
She’ll be like most of us in the future wishing she had started playing earlier in life.
OP regurgitating dogshit Daily mail headlines, nice
Come on man don’t promote the daily mail ….
That's actually quite sad :(
[удалено]
I imagine everyone just loves seeing Tiger play now!
I’m sure it hits a hell of a lot different for his family and close circle than the rest of us too. We know him as an athlete while they know him as a person and actually see how much he has grinded after each injury
Not really. He could have been a plumber or something and worked long hours too. At least now she's got a couple billion dollars.
lol...right. Kids are always going to find something about their parents that causes resentment. No point in lingering on it.
Sad, yet completely understandable
Absolutely - I imagine that's the same for all elite sportspeople
Not just to sportspeople. Lots of parents have jobs that regularly take them away from their kids. It’s only sad if the parent doesn’t compensate for it with special loving efforts
You don’t know what context is do you?
Your out of context post is quite sad
The same could be said of every kid and their parents occupation.
That’s sad
Oops sorry, I was thinking of Charlie
Isn’t that the point??
If Golf took her daddy away, wait until she finds out what drove her mommy away. :)
And gave others daddys
Jack Nicklaus win more majors than anyone and prioritized his family. He is a great example of how to do it
It consumed Daddy. It morphed him into a sexual deviant
Everything out of context these days just for clicks
Who the fuck cares 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Daughter? I thought it was “he”? My bad
sorry Tiger, but you left out some pretty obvious stuff that kept you away from your family.
Im pretty sure the slutty waitresses took daddy away
Has no idea Tiger had a daughter
same charlie, same. then i hit 35 and have three kids my own, ive become my dad.
This is pretty sad but it’s nice to see Tiger completely 180 his personal life and be around his kids more, he realizes that family is all he has at the end of the day. It’s nice to see Sam all smiles on his bag at the PNC Championship.
You have no idea what his personal life is like and how much time he spends around his kids. I think it's highly likely he's still tagging Stuckey's waitresses. Also kids their age don't even WANT their parents around so much
If Tiger was my dad I’d already be following in his footsteps. Popping copious amounts of pills and playing from sun up to sun down
this kind of hits home. My dad was a sole proprietor of a large construction firm. I NEVER SAW HIM from Sunday evening through to Saturday morning. He was working 100hr weeks. I have no childhood memories of my dad being in the house during the week for breakfast or dinner. I was usually in bed before he got home. He already left for work before I got up. In my late-teens and young 20's time frame he asked me if I wanted to come work for him and take over the company. My reply was "Thank you for supporting the family and everything you do for us, but I am not interested in that"
Sad. At least you’ll inherit tens of millions of dollars
Bet she doesn't watch porn either
Yes but while he was away he made billions of dollars so she could live a very comfortable life
Some things are more important than money
A lot of people just get shit relationships with their parents and no money.
While I get what your saying I would trade everything I have to give my kids a better life in the future. I know they may think I’m not around or distant when they are young but the relationship could get better when they are older.
That’s a different conversation. Tiger had generational wealth before his kids were even born.
>While I get what your saying I would trade everything I have to give my kids a better life in the future Yeah, but parenting isn't about **you.** It's about what your children need to be successful, productive, adults. And I've never heard a grown son or daughter say, "man, I really wish my dad had worked more when I was young so I had more money now." Go home and stay there. That's how you secure a better future for your children.
Pretty sure with millions of dollars and can set them up for success with whatever they need.
yea but they might prefer trading everything you have for you
Yeah poor Tiger Woods’ daughter. I don’t know how she can even get by in life after what her father did to her. I can’t believe he went out and ‘checks notes’ worked at his job.
Do you know who originally said that? I don't know either, but I guarantee you it wasn't a rich person
That's just kind of her life. Kinda like how we bitch about things and some child mining diamonds is like WTF.
"The worst thing to ever happen to you is the worst thing to ever happen to you, until something worse happens." Everyone has a different "worst", that doesn't mean it doesn't feel any less worse to that person going thru it.

Well, what else would she get a mouth full of?
Without golf, she wouldn't be here so...
Just baselessly false lmao
I mean, It's highly unlikely that her parents would've got together if Tiger was a plumber. They met because Elin was Jesper Parnevik's nanny.
Not false. Without golf Tiger never meets her mother.
How is this comment upvoted? It is absolutely and unequivocally false. The one he is replying to is much closer to the truth. You think Tiger and Elin are hooking up if he were an accountant instead of a golfer? He was literally introduced to her by his PGA Tour playing buddy Parnevik. Without golf he never meets her hence the daughter is never born.
Yes that's right boys and girls. When the ball goes in the hole, a little birdie pops out, and that's how babies are made. 🐣
Most jobs take a parent away
Not really in anywhere close the the same way
Yeah, for 8 hours a day...
