Tiger Woods Welcomes Son Charlie Axel
 Charlie Riedel / AP |
It’s a boy for Tiger Woods and wife Elin! Son Charlie Axel Woods arrived on Sunday, February 8th; he and mom are “doing great,” according to an announcement on the golfer’s website. “We had a couple names and Charlie just fit,” explains Tiger. ” As far as the Axel, that’s Elin’s brother’s name so we wanted to make sure it stayed in the family.”
Charlie joins big sister Sam Alexis, 19 months. In a statement, Tiger writes,
“We want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts. Sam is very excited to be a big sister and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family … We look forward to introducing Charlie to you at the appropriate time.”
Tiger, 33, and Elin announced the pregnancy in September. The baby was due later this month.

February 9th, 2009 at 11:00 am
What great news! Tiger seems like such a devoted father.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:17 am
From what I read, Axel is Elin’s older brother’s name…I can’t wait to see the baby tiger!
February 9th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Aww congratulations to Tiger and Elin and Sam on your new addition Charlie, bet he will be beautiful!
February 9th, 2009 at 11:41 am
Yay! Congratulations to the Woods Family! I’m so happy for Tiger and Elin and baby Sam. She’s a big sis now, *g*. Aw, Charlie Axel – what a name. What a family. Go Family Woods!!
February 9th, 2009 at 11:45 am
I can’t wait to see pictures! What a great new addition to teach golf too!
February 9th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
I really like the name Charlie Axel Woods it really rolls off the tongue. Can’t wait to see him soon!
February 9th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Aww!! I love the uncommon name of Axel paired with the common name of Charlie – perfect!
Tiger is going to have a blast with that little boy!!
February 9th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Congratulations to the Woods family! I am sure Charlie will be as beautiful as his parents and sister.
February 9th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Congrats to them! I prefer Charlie for a girl but I like the middle name Axel!!! I like how Axel and Alexis are similar.
February 9th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
What great news! I love the name and it goes well with Sam. Congrats!
February 9th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Wonderful news!
I’ve always loved the name Axel. It’s such a pretty scandinavian name and quite common here in Sweden.
February 9th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Many of you are funny who insist that NOW he has someone to teach golf to – what makes you think that Sam won’t be on the links with dad herself? (Or hasn’t been already, for that matter! )
Congratulations to Tiger and Elin – I bet Charlie’ll be a cutie just like his big sis!
February 9th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Ahhh, such a cute name! Big sister Sam Alexis and little brother Charlie Axel, so adorable.
February 9th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Aww, congratulations to Tiger and Elin.
I’m not really a fan of the name, but hey, they like it and that’s all that matters! I’m sure it suits him just perfectly
February 9th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Alex is a common Swedish name.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
congratulations to him and his family!!!
February 9th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Chicki: What comments are you talking about? There isn’t a single person here who said that NOW he has someone to teach golf.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Their little girl is a total cutie,so I’m sure the new baby is too. Axel is such a cool name,and its sweet that the siblings have similar middle names.Eventually I would love to get a glimpse of little Charlie.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Ooh, another cutie! Sam is just adorable and I’m sure her brother will be too! Charlie, I love that name. Axel, I have a strong aversion to, because to me, it is a typo that people seem to create quite a lot when typing my name. I do like how this family have given their children such lovely normal names though, precious.
February 9th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Charlie Axel Woods sounds nice together. I like it. Charlie and Sam, though if I wasn’t paying attention, I would’ve though they had two boys..or girls, since there are girls with the name of Charlie too…lol.
February 9th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
So, I totally love the whole play on letters…Axel/Alexis…hurray for the fam!
February 9th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Just wanted to say Congrats to you Tiger on your budle of joy now you have both a Boy and a Girl and I know Sam will be a good big sister and hopefully she will not get too jealous lol
February 9th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Cute. I was surprised by the birth announcement, I thought she was due much later like March/April lol. Does anyone know the story behind the “Alex” name? Family connection?? I know “Sam” is honor of Tiger’s father.
February 9th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
congrats elin, tiger, and sam!
hopefully BOTH sam and charlie will get golfing lessons…
February 9th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Congrats!
Axel is actually a common Swedish name…and one that is easy to pronounce in English! Great that they’ve used a Swedish name for this baby…love that Will Ferrell did with both his kids!

What great news! I’m a little surprised they didn’t incorporated Tiger’s father’s name into Charlie’s name, though.
February 10th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
I like the name a lot. Congrats to the family. Little Alexis is so beautiful.
February 10th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Congratulations to the Woods family! : )
February 10th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
congrats can’t wait to see this little one and maybe some recent pics of sam too
February 11th, 2009 at 12:28 am
Congrats to them, how wonderful now they have a daughter and a son. Sam is so cute, and hopefully when they release charlie’s pics we see a new picture of sam too. Sam and Charlie are normal names, so they sound good together. Tiger’s wife is so pretty, looking forward to seeing their son.

America needs more multiracial cuties like theirs.. I have quite a few friends who have children of the same combination; white, asian and black that look full caucasian and they are so perfect…LOL! Okay, as a white female, where can I go hunting to find a mixed race man to make some perfectly gorgeous and handsome kids..LOL! Every single one of my friends kids with that combination are just so darn beautiful.. It’s a great combination.. Makes nice looking human beings that’s for sure!! Awesome!
February 18th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Tigers daughter is so cute, she looks like Tigers mom and Tigers wife mixed together.. What a cutie pie!!
