Tiger Woods announced on his website today that he and Elin are expecting their first child.
“As some of you know, today is my 31st birthday. I’ll spend it quietly with family and friends, but Elin and I have more exciting news to share: We are expecting our first child together this summer”.
“Obviously, we couldn’t be happier and our families are thrilled,” said Woods. “I have always wanted to be a dad. I just wish my father could be around to share the experience.”
Woods’s dad, Earl Woods, passed away in May at age 74 after battling cancer. The father and son had a famously close relationship. “My dad was my best friend and greatest role model,” Woods said at the time. “He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
“As for his career, Woods says he plans to “stick close to home” for the next few weeks to spend more time with his expectant wife. He plans to start his 2007 PGA Tour season at the Buick Invitational in late January.
We are happy for Tiger and Elin. They were married for just over two years in a lavish celebration on the Island of Barbados. It is time for him to have a protege to teach all of his golf tricks to.
