Tiger Woods Misses Daughter’s Birthday, Loses Face in Public
Tiger Woods’ kids are getting used to disappointment, mostly at the hands of their father. Tiger missed his son Charlie’s first birthday in February because he (Tiger Woods, Charlie is clean!) was in rehab. “It’s something I regret and probably will for the rest of my life,” he said. At that time, he vowed not to miss another birthday. Now RadarOnline.com is reporting that Tiger missed daughter Sam’s birthday on June 18. Whoops, talk about publicly breaking a promise! Face, lost. Details below. No word yet on whether Tiger regrets this missed-birthday, too.
Woods was playing in the U.S. Open during Sam’s birthday — but rumor had it that estranged wife Elin Nordegren was planning to fly Sam out to Calif., so that Tiger Woods, Sam, and the rest of the family could spend the day together. Instead, RadarOnline.com reports, Elin threw a party for Sam back in Florida.
Who’s to blame here? I hate to give Tiger any credit, but this may be a case of Elin refusing to bring the kids to him in anger, resentment, or any of the other feelings she’s deservedly harboring (the U.S. Open only happens once a year, did she expect him to sit it out?). It would fit right in with her fight to get Tiger’s Jupiter Island house in the divorce. There’s no reason for her to play nice after what he’s put her through. For the kids, though, a flight to the U.S. Open might have been a good idea.
Yes, Tiger Woods, divorce is a nasty business.

Tiger and Elin Brave the Chill to Throw a Joint Birthday Party for Daughter Sam | Famecrawler commented on Jun 28 10 at 9:01 amandrea commented on Jun 21 10 at 5:34 pmAll week long there had been postings that she would fly Sam out to CA so she could celebrate with her Daddy. Tiger is not at fault here although all the websites are trying to make him the villain. Even if she didn’t want to see him the nannies could have taken her and possibly Charlie. He did not do intentionally.
Carmen commented on Jun 21 10 at 9:48 pmIt was reported that Elin and the children were planning to go to California on Friday to be with Tiger for their daughters’ birthday and maybe Father’s Day! Apparently this did not happen. We don’t know the reason. Maybe the idea was considered and discarded because such a long plane trip for a couple of days may not have been in the best interest of the children since they recently returned from another long plane trip to China. Whatever the reason may have been, I think that it is quite deplorable and unacceptable that a parent miss important milestones in the life of a child.
