Tiger Woods and Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren Reunite for Son Charlie’s College Golf Commitment
It was a family reunion for Charlie Woods on Friday, as both his father and mother, whose divorce was highly publicised, were together again to celebrate his college commitment.
Woods, the son of 15-time major winner Tiger, announced earlier this year his commitment to play golf at Florida State University.
On 6 November 2026, Charlie’s family and coaches were present at a signing day ceremony at Benjamin High School. Tiger’s ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, was also at Charlie’s high school.
Charlie wrote, “Excited to announce my commitment to play golf at Florida State University — go Noles!”
Tiger commented, “Congratulations Charlie. I’m so proud of you on entering this next chapter of your life.”
Tiger and Elin got divorced after the former’s infidelity had been exposed.
It is a rare public appearance for Tiger, who has remained out of the spotlight most of the time since he was arrested in March.
He was arrested on charges of DUI following a car crash, in which police later found hydrocodone pills in his pocket. It was his second DUI in less than a decade. Woods previously told law enforcement prior to the field sobriety tests that he had undergone seven back surgeries and “over 20 operations on his leg.” He told law enforcement that “I take a few” prescription medications.
According to an arrest affidavit, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported observing several signs of impairment at the scene, noting that the golf legend was “sweating profusely” and that his movements appeared “lethargic and slow.” Law enforcement proceeded to perform field sobriety tests because of their suspicions. Woods was instructed to remove his eyeglasses, and the deputy conducting the tests stated that his eyes appeared to be “bloodshot and glassy” and “extremely dilated.”
Shortly after the arrest, Woods announced he was seeking treatment. Nordegren was reportedly “concerned” after the legendary golfer’s arrest.
Tiger’s return to the golf course remains to be determined — he has not played since the 2024 Open Championship. When he was arrested in March, he said he was “hoping to” play in April’s Masters, but he ultimately missed the entire 2026 season.
