Golf legend Tiger Woods drops some personal news ahead of Ryder Cup

While the Big Cat typically plies his day-to-day trade in the Tropical warmth of Jupiter, Florida, some of Tiger Woods’ most iconic moments, such as his dominant Millennium win at St Andrews, have come with the weather at its most hostile.

“I’ve played in every condition imaginable, from Scottish wind to midwest cold,” says Woods. “What I’ve learned is that comfort isn’t luxury; it can be a competitive advantage. When you’re not thinking about the elements, you’re thinking about your next shot.”

As such, with the autumn weather setting in both across the pond and here at home, Tiger’s acclaimedSun Day Red apparel brand has hit the market with a brand new Autumn Winter 25 collection—the brand’s coziest and perhaps most luxurious yet just three weeks before the Ryder Cup.

Sun Day Red has quickly set itself apart from the industry with its focus on high-end, luxury materials engineered for additional on-course performance, and that philosophy carries through to the outerwear and layering pieces included in the collection. The crew necks and hoodies are crafted from soft 3D Merino Wool, while the short and long-sleeve T-shirts are made from a cashmere blend for additional warmth.

“We’ve engineered pieces that don’t just protect against the elements; they help you embrace them,” said Caje Moye, Sun Day Red’s Senior Creative Director. “Every layer, every detail is designed to keep you focused on what matters most—your game.”

Cheers to Tiger Woods—First in Line for Team USA, but a Hectic Schedule Clears the Path for Keegan Bradley’s Captaincy

It’s claimed Tiger Woods has been providing guidance to Team USA captain Keegan Bradley, as preparations intensify for the upcoming battle with Team Europe at Bethpage Black.

Woods was in contention for the captaincy role for the 45th Ryder Cup, but his busy schedule resulted in Bradley’s selection last year. Bradley, who enjoyed a stellar year, was also rumored to potentially become the first captain to compete in the Ryder Cup since Arnold Palmer if he had selected himself.

Nevertheless, Bradley opted against it and recently revealed his six captain’s selections: Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, and Sam Burns, notably excluding the likes of Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth.

These six will team up with Team USA’s six automatic qualifiers, featuring World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English, and LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau.

At 39, Bradley also stands as the youngest Ryder Cup captain since Palmer, who was 34 when he served as a playing captain back in 1963.

Bradley has been seeking advice from the iconic Woods, who believes Bradley is “a brilliant choice” for the position, in advance of the showdown at Bethpage Black in New York.

“He’s [Woods] being consulted [by Bradley],” a US Ryder Cup team source told Golf.com. “And I know he feels like he’s a part of Keegan’s decisions and how he’s thinking about it, and Keegan has been hugely respectful of that.

“Without giving [Woods] an outsized role, I think it’s been balanced and kind of appropriate. He’s been sort of an informal advisor or Dutch uncle.”

Following Bradley’s recent press conference, where he unveiled his captain’s picks, Woods sent a text to a source close to the US team praising the 39-year-old’s handling of the media. The source disclosed: “The gist of the message: ‘Our boy just crushed it. That was an amazing presser.'”

Bradley also recently admitted that while he was personally gutted not to be competing in the Ryder Cup, he chose not to for the benefit of the team. “It’s a really strange thing to kind of ponder,” Bradley said at the recent Tour Championship.

Rory McIlroy says he hasn’t done enough of one thing since

Rory McIlroy says he hasn’t done enough of one thing since winning the Masters

Rory McIlroy is back in Ireland, with this week’s Irish Open at the K Club outside Dublin offering a rare chance for the reigning Masters champion to stop and reflect. On his childhood, on his lone Irish Open victory and, of course, on his career-defining 2025 season.

“I’ve got some great memories of the K Club,” McIlroy said Wednesday of the parkland resort in County Kildare where he won the 2016 Irish Open. “I came here to watch the Ryder Cup in ’06 with my dad and to win my only Irish Open here nine years ago. It’s got a lot of great memories for me, and hopefully I can add to them this week.”
His return to the island of Ireland, only five weeks after the Open Championship was held at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland, seems to have reinvigorated the 36-year-old. McIlroy spent a week on the west coast of Ireland leading up to the Irish Open and was inspired when asked what course he would play for the rest of his life if only one was available. The answer was Royal County Down.2209600655

As busy as a home national open can be for a superstar, the Irish Open is also a marvelous chance to stop and smell the roses. After Thursday’s opening round at the K Club, McIlroy will wear Augusta National’s green jacket for a Q and A with fans while his other three major trophies will be on display in the Championship Village throughout the week.
“It’s absolutely amazing to be able to share that with people,” McIlroy said. “I keep saying—over the years when I dreamed of winning the green jacket, I always said, if I ever did it, I’d never take it off, and I probably haven’t worn it as much as I should have. So any opportunity to put it on, alongside the other major trophies, is very, very cool. I’m excited for that.”
McIlroy’s victory at the Masters in April cemented his status as just the sixth golfer in history to complete the career Grand Slam. He had searched for 10 years for the last piece of the puzzle, at Augusta, after winning the U.S. Open (2011), Open Championship (2014) and two PGA Championship titles (2012, 2014).
After collapsing in tears of joy and relief at Augusta National following his playoff win over Justin Rose, McIlroy experienced a lull in form by his standards as he worked to restore motivation. Also a winner of this year’s Players Championship, he hasn’t won since the Masters and managed a total of four top-10s on the PGA Tour, including a T-7 at the Open at Portrush.
But he also has one eye on this month’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage. The European team hasn’t won a Cup on U.S. soil since McIlroy was part of a comeback victory at Medinah in 2012. If he and his 11 teammates can pull off an away victory in New York, something McIlroy has dubbed one of the greatest accomplishments in golf, he said 2025 would be his career-best year.
That’s, of course acknowledging his 2014 season, when he won two majors, as well as a WGC Bridgestone Invitational, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai all in one year.
“I guess it’s the year that everything came together for me,” McIlroy said when asked to put 2025 into words. “[The Masters] was basically the one piece of the puzzle that was left for me to complete. When I look at my career and my whole picture as a golfer, I’ve done everything I wanted to. Everything after that is a bonus, but you have to reassess your goals.
“The one thing for me—obviously, I’d love to win this week and next week at Wentworth—but the one thing for me this year to reassess my goals, an away Ryder Cup, after everything that’s happened this year … 2025 would be the best year of my career. If I did have a better year in the game, I’d love to see it.”

Rory McIlroy looks to Novak Djokovic for inspiration in dealing with Bethpage Black’s hostile Ryder Cup crowd

There’s never been a GOAT in any sport quite as polarizing as Novak Djokovic. Over the course of his 22-year professional career, Djokovic has appeared in 37 grand slam finals, winning 24, the most in men’s tennis history. But the overwhelming popularity of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, whose peaks overlapped with Djokovic’s, meant the Serbian faced hostile crowds nearly every time he took the court. The mental and emotional toll of playing the heel wore on Djokovic at times, but his game thrived on the adversity, as he proved the doubters and haters wrong time and time again.

As an eight-time Ryder Cup veteran, Rory McIlory certainly knows the feeling. On Wednesday ahead of the Amgen Irish Open, Team Europe’s elder statesman was asked how he plans to handle the pro-American crowd at Bethpage Black later this month. Though McIlroy’s own resume speaks for itself—he was instrumental for Team Europe during the last Ryder Cup road win by either side at Medinah in 2012—he tipped his cap to the Joker, revealing that the tennis legend even spoke to the Euros before their victorious romp in Rome two years ago.

“I watched a little bit of Novak Djokovic last night [in the U.S. Open quarterfinals] playing in his match against [American] Taylor Fritz,” McIlroy told reporters. “It was a very pro-American crowd. He’s been the best at handling that sort of — he’s had to deal with it his whole life, whether it’s playing against an American in New York or playing against Roger or Rafa.

He came and spoke to us a little bit about that stuff last time in Rome. So maybe taking a leaf out of his book and channeling that energy the right way, but again, all we can do is control our reaction and our emotions to it. I think the less we play into it, the better it is for us.”

McIlroy’s last sentence seems particularly telling. Some players, such as Tiger Woods and Brooks Koepka, thrive by playing with a chip on their shoulder, but McIlroy and co. aren’t buying into the bulletin-board approach. Instead, they want to put their head down, tune out the noise and execute. Love him or loathe him, Djokovic has been a master of that throughout his career. His desire to win has always been greater than desire to be adored, and that drive has carried him through countless gauntlets over the years. Whether that approach can lead Team Europe to glory at Bethpage Black remains to be seen, but if Djokovic’s deep run in Flushing this year is any indication, the Stars n’ Stripes better watch out.

Tiger Woods’s Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren Emotional After Nearly Missi

Tiger Woods’s Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren Emotional After Nearly Missing Son Charlie’s TPC Sawgrass Feat

At the ongoing Junior PLAYERS Championship, Jr. Woods created history by recording his career second hole-in-one. But the celebration wasn’t similar to his first, because his biggest supporters, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, were not there. But when the videos of the outstanding achievement went out, it was nothing less than a celebration for mother, Elin.

Daniel Montero, Mayo Clinic physician and also the Woods’ closest friend, witnessed and captured the achievement of young Woods. “I guess you never know when you’re going to see greatness,” said Montero for the video. But instead of keeping the memory to himself, he shared the video with Elin Nordegren, who was not present at the course. When she received the video, Nordegren was left emotional and appreciative. Montero shared her quote that, “She was very happy to have seen this one.”

Along with Tiger Woods, his ex-wife, Elin, has been a constant supporter of Charlie Woods. In fact, she witnessed the first ace of his son on December 22, 2024, at the PNC Championship when he teamed up with Tiger Woods. The moment of his first ace can still be visualised as a loud roar erupted from the crowd, who celebrated the special achievement. But now, as neither supporter was in the crowd, the celebration wasn’t that exciting.

Charlie Woods became the fourth player to record an ace in the tournament’s history. In fact, since 2020, he has become the second. Before him, Cameron Kuchar, son of Matt Kucher, aced No. 3 in the first round, and then Charlie was the second to do it. But the celebration, unlike his first ace, was a bit subtle as he shook hands with his peers, Coltrane Mittag and Davis Wotnosky, and moved towards the hole. Even on the green, he repaired the ball mark and calmly picked the ball out of the cup with cheers and claps from the crowd. However, the family celebration is sure to be the loudest off the course.

Charlie’s parents have maintained a strong relationship for the kids, setting aside their personal differences.

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren on co-parenting

The duo, after 10 years of marriage, divorced in 2010, has mastered the art of co-parenting. The pair have worked to keep the best interests of Sam and Charlie in mind. The entire family was seen together at the 2024 PNC Championship, where the father-son duo participated as players, while their daughter Sam Alexis Woods was the caddie. In fact, Elin joined the crowd to support the kids at the event.

Recently, during the US Junior Amateur Golf Championship, the duo was seen together supporting Charlie Woods, where they encountered odd questions. Not only that, but Nordegren was also present at the Cognizant Classic Pre-Qualifying round, the first step toward a formal career in golf, on February 22, 2024.

The duo, leaving the past aside, have taken steps to be the biggest supporters for the kids. As per the sources, “They both decided to be adults and to do what was best for the kids. So they get along really well. Tiger says really great things about Elin. He never complains about her, ever. … The kids love them both.”

Now, despite being far away from the course, Elin Nordegren is emotional for the achievement of his son at the Junior PLAYERS Championship. Charlie Woods, in the span of 9 months, has recorded a hole-in-one twice.

Tiger Woods Gets Bold Callout From Ernie Els

Few rivalries in golf have endured with the same intensity and respect over time. The rivalry between Ernie Els and Tiger Woods is among them. From playoff duels to major championship showdowns, their careers have been intertwined since the late 1990s.

Whether it was Woods draining a 40-foot birdie to beat Els at the 2000 Mercedes Championships or their unforgettable playoff at the 2003 Presidents Cup, the two legends have shared some of the sport’s most iconic moments.

Tiger Woods, Ernie Els

READ: ‘;I didn’t want to go’; LIV star who had Rory McIlroy as

Now, as Woods approaches his 50th birthday on December 30th, Els has reignited the competitive spark for their senior stage.

“Beat us again … if you can,” Els told the Palm Beach Post while unveiling his autism-friendly recreation complex.

The message was aimed squarely at Big Cat, who will become eligible for the PGA Tour Champions in 2026.

Els, now 55, has already made the transition with notable success. He’s finished inside the top 10 of the season-long standings for three consecutive years and currently ranks No. 5.

“It doesn’t help him to finish 70th on the regular tour, not really getting proper reps,” Els added during the same conversation with the Palm Beach Post. “He can shoot 66 (on the senior tour). Get your confidence up, make those birdie putts under the gun.”

The 15-time major champion has avoided playing in recent years due to a series of injuries. Most recently, he ruptured his left Achilles tendon in the spring, sidelining him for the year.

But with the PGA Tour Champions offering the advantage of using carts, Woods gains an edge.

“I’ve got three more years, where I get the little buggy and be out there with Fred (Couples),” Woods told reporters at the 2023 Masters.

Els believes the senior tour could be exactly what Woods needs, not just to compete, but to rebuild his rhythm and confidence.

“I hope so,” Els expressed as quoted. “I’ve said, ‘Please come play.’ And I think it can only be beneficial to (Woods). He will get himself in golf shape. You can ride a cart without any shame and if there was one guy that should be able to drive a cart, it’s him. And he can get his ass back in shape.”

The sentiment is echoed by others in the golf world

Paul Azinger, a 12-time PGA Tour winner and NBC’s lead analyst for the Champions Tour, believes Woods’ arrival would be a seismic moment for the over-50 circuit.

“I believe there’s a lot of anticipation (for Woods),” Azinger expressed in February as quoted by Sports Illustrated. “A lot of guys are going to be in shape and ready and try to beat Tiger if they can. I think Tiger might even feel an obligation to play the (PGA Tour Champions). The Tour has given Tiger a lot of money the last few years with that Player Impact Program. I’m sure he’s going to give back, and it’s going to be to all the benefit of these guys out here that are over 50”.

For now, Woods remains focused on recovery. But with his eligibility just months away, the stage is quietly being set for a new chapter.

‘I didn’t want to go’ LIV star who had Rory McIlroy as groomsman explains 11th hour Irish Open snub

Former Irish Open winner Sergio Garcia will be absent from the K Club this week as he comes to terms with his omission from the Ryder Cup squad. Garcia, who made the switch to LIV golf in 2023, hasn’t appeared in the Ryder Cup since 2021 but following an impressive campaign on the breakaway circuit, the Spaniard was optimistic he had earned his place in captain Luke Donald’s thinking.

However, the 2017 Masters victor saw Donald stick with virtually the same lineup from 2023, with only Rasmus Hojgaard stepping in for his twin brother Nicolai in the sole alteration to the team that triumphed in Rome two years prior.

Speaking to Golf Magic in an interview released this week, 1999 Irish Open winner Garcia revealed he chose not to compete in Kildare this week following his disappointment at missing out on a captain’s selection.

“I felt like I was so looking forward to being a part of that team, and so I felt like mentally, it was kind of tough,” Garcia said, reports the Irish Mirror.

“I didn’t want to go there and not be fully engaged in the tournament and stuff, so I just decided to take a little bit of time off and spend it with the family. Do a couple of things outside of golf and just kind of reboot a little bit, recharge the batteries.”

Garcia and McIlroy were once good friends with McIlroy even taking the role of groomsman at Garcia’s wedding.

Garcia’s move to LIV and McIlroy’s criticism of the Saudi-backed breakaway tour saw that relationship collapse. However, amid talks of a merger, Garcia said of Rory ‘We talked and had a great conversation.”

Regarding the Spaniard’s conversation with Donald breaking the news of his non-selection, Garcia commented: “The call with Luke was fine. Not the call I wanted, obviously, but the conversation was fine.

“Now, the only thing I can do is support the team from home. It’s as simple as that. I’ll be watching and cheering on the European team.”

Although Garcia won’t be teeing off at Bethpage Black next month, two of his LIV colleagues will be flying the flag for Europe. Tyrrell Hatton has secured automatic qualification, while fellow defector Jon Rahm was handed a wildcard pick by Donald.

They’ll be joining forces with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose as Europe aims to clinch victory on American soil for the first time since 2014.

Before that, there’s the small matter of the Amgen Irish Open to contend with. The tournament kicks off on Sunday, with a host of star-studded pairings set to dazzle the K Club.

And who knows, with McIlroy, Lowry, Padraig Harrington and Seamus Power all in contention, we might just see a local champion crowned this week.

Charlie Woods receives emotional support from his mother Elin Nordegren after his father Tiger failed to support him in his latest performance

Charlie Woods, the young rising star in the junior golf world and son of legend Tiger Woods, recently delivered an impressive performance, but noticeably absent was the vocal support from his father.

Instead, it was Elin Nordegren, Charlie’s mother and Tiger’s ex-wife, who provided the steady emotional backing he needed.

READ: Elin Nordegren’s New Chapter Influenced Sam Woods After

The gaping void left by Tiger’s quietness was filled by Elin, reminding everyone of the invaluable strength parental presence can bring, especially in moments of pressure.

Elin’s supportive role was particularly notable during a recent key match where Charlie nearly clinched a top spot but fell just short. Rather than lingering on the disappointment, she was there-calm, composed, and unwavering in her encouragement.

For Charlie, who has been navigating both the pressures of youth competition and the weight of a famous surname, his mother’s presence has been a quiet anchor.

The power of maternal support

Elin Nordegren’s dedication has become a testament to her character. While Tiger is often focused on his own professional comebacks and personal health, Elin has seamlessly stepped into the supportive role for her children.

Her presence reflects deliberate co-parenting choices rooted in love and resilience-even in the spotlight.

In recent times, Elin has been spotted consistently at Charlie’s events, quietly watching his swing, celebrating his shots, and embracing him after rounds.

It is no small detail that she attended in solid support when Tiger did not-especially in a moment when Charlie could’ve used his father’s encouragement most.

For aspiring young athletes, the visible embrace of a parent-or absence thereof-carries weight. Elin’s unwavering presence illustrates that success in sports isn’t just built on skill or lineage; it’s nurtured through steadfast emotional support.

Charlie’s development isn’t solely shaped by the legacy of his father but also by the encouraging force standing beside him every step of the way.

As Charlie continues to grow his game, the emotional quadrant formed by his supportive mother and sister remains his grounding force-whether his father’s words echo on the sidelines or not.

Tiger’s Son Charlie Woods  Drops Striking Remarks After Marking Landmark Victory as Tiger’s Son

Charlie Woods, the teenage son of golf legend Tiger, is once again earning widespread praise following his response after a big win this week. And the rising talent continues to convince fans he may be destined to follow in his father’s footsteps after demonstrating an elite mindset.

The 16-year-old landed his first Amateur Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title on Wednesday. Charlie topped the leaderboard at the Team TaylorMade Invitational after carding a third-round 66 to finish at 15-under and comfortably clear of his competition.

That result is being hailed as the best performance of Woods Jr’s career thus far. But it’s not just his qualities on the course that are impressing fans after his post-match comments drew comparisons with his famous father.

“I didn’t look at the leaderboard once today,” said the youngster after his crowning moment, per The Mirror US. “On the fairway after hitting the green on 18, he’s [Woods’ caddie] like, ‘you make par here, you’re going to be fine.'”

Those words demonstrate the kind of character that often lights the path to greatness. The ability to focus on one’s own game, regardless of how others are performing around you, is a rare quality but illustrates an individual confident in their ability to shape their own destiny.

Tiger woods

Woods’ skills certainly paid off at the Black Course at Streamsong Resort in his home state of Florida. And the competition was fierce, with fellow junior talents like Miles Russell, Phillip Dunham and Luke Colton all in the field.

The young golf prodigy from Orlando bounced back with aplomb after missing out on US Open qualifying earlier in May. Resilience is key in the game of golf, and Woods Jr already appears to have learnt a lesson in dusting oneself down for the next challenge.

For the world’s most closely observed junior golfer, the trajectory can only go up. Following his victory, Woods Jr was brimming with confidence and not content just to celebrate as he looked to build on his success.

“Being able to say to myself that I won an absolutely amazing event and to say I performed under some high-pressure situations is just huge going forward,” he added. “I haven’t been able to say that I have done that, and now that I can, it is just a big thing for my mental game going forward.”

Launching his campaign with promise, Woods delivered an initial two-under-par 70 in Monday’s round. But it was his subsequent rounds of 65 and 66 that truly put the competition on notice.

Tiger woods

His first round showed both brilliance and flaws with eight birdies, an eagle, alongside bogeys and a solitary triple bogey. But the up-and-coming star adapted quickly as the action progressed at Streamsong.

Carrying the Woods name might set the bar high, but Tiger’s son is showing his mettle and maturing gracefully in a high-pressure environment. That comes as part and parcel of his legacy, but he is weathering the challenge in impressive fashion.

This year essentially serves as an audition for the legacy star, with colleges able to kick-start their recruitment drive for him this summer. And following a triumphant win in Florida, it appears he won’t be lacking attention.

“Surprised!” Tiger Woods Confirms Teen Daughter Sam’s Hidden Talent in an Unexpected Sport”

While Tiger Woods has been all over the news for his relationship with Donald Trump Jr’s ex-wife Vanessa Trump, he’s making news for another reason. Or rather, his sporty mini-me daughter, Sam, is making headlines! While you may think that Sam is making headlines for golf, she’s actually a soccer star!

Last week, Woods spoke with the press in Atlanta while attending a TGL event, confirming that while his daughter Sam’s high school sports career is over, she went out with a bang. She led her school team, the Benjamin School Buccaneers, to victory as the first state championship in Benjamin Girls soccer history. (They won 1-0 victory over the Episcopal School of Jacksonville.)

“The core group of girls that were on that team have been together since they were six,” he said about his senior defender daughter via Hello. “To be able to end her high school career like that and to go on as a state champion is pretty cool.”

And it seems that while her high school career may be done, she’s just getting started since she’ll be going to Stanford in the fall.

For those who don’t know, Woods and his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, welcomed two children together during their time together: a daughter named Sam Alexis Woods, born in 2007, and a son named Charlie Axel Woods, born in 2009.

Now, for those wondering why Sam decided to go for soccer instead of golf, Woods actually shone some light on that in 2024.

In a rare live interview with the Today show via People, he revealed Sam has a “negative connotation” to golf. “You know, hey, when she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her,” he said. “I had to pack and I had to leave and I would be gone for weeks and there was a negative connotation to it.”
