Sam, born on June 18, 2007, was named Sam Alexis in honor of both her parents’ families and her late grandfather. Her father explained that the name was tied to his late father, who had always called him Sam instead of Tiger.

“He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’ He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam,’” explained the golfer. Therefore, to Tiger Woods, the name Sam was fitting for his daughter as she was born just a day after Father’s Day.Sam adores her dad, whom she has previously showered with praise. During the Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony in March 2022, Sam praised her father’s resilience. She celebrated his achievements, including being the first Black and Asian golfer to win a major, winning his fifth Masters after back surgeries, and walking again just months after a devastating crash.Today, Sam has chosen a different path from her brother, Charlie, opting not to follow in her dad’s footsteps as a golfer. Tiger once revealed that Sam holds a “negative connotation” towards the sport, as it was what often took him away during her childhood.
