Tiger Woods, the golf legend, had back surgery, it was recently disclosed. Though we wish him a swift recovery, it’s difficult to ignore the controversy that rocked the globe over ten years ago. When Tiger’s cheating scandal surfaced back in November 2009, it damaged his reputation both on and off the golf course.

Sam Alexis and Charlie Axel were Tiger Woods’ two children together at the time of their marriage to Elin Nordegren. Charlie’s birth coincided with the revelation of his adultery, which caused his marriage to disintegrate and his golf career to take a nosedive. The incident was all the more stunning because he had over 100 women with whom he had affairs.
