Tiger Woods’ personal life is always making the headlines. Whether it be a past relationship with Lindsay Vonn,
or his apparent friendship with Donald Trump, the media is always trying to take a deeper dive into Tiger’s life.
One topic Tiger Woods keeps quiet about is his personal relationship with his half-siblings. In the following,
we’re going to take a closer look at Woods’ personal life alongside his family, and why things might’ve broken down with his siblings.
Tiger once gifted his half-sister a home for her help, but feelings towards the house may have shifted because of a strain to their relationship.
Let’s find out what went down, and more.
Tiger Woods Had An Up And Down Relationship With His Father, Earl
Tiger Woods’ dad was very hands-on with his career early on. However, it wasn’t always for the best, according to Tiger. The golfer revealed that his dad said a lot of things early on, and some of his advice would be taken the wrong way at times. Woods says, “He really said some pretty outlandish things. And I think it was just him being sick. But I took it personal.”
Tiger would go on to reveal alongside USA Today that his parents took on different roles. His mom was more of the enforcer, while his dad tried to motivate him. However, things would take a turn if results weren’t coming as quickly as expected for Earl from his son.
“My dad was always the person who would plant seeds and give me encouragement but also would say things that would fester inside me that wouldn’t come to fruition for a while,” Woods said.
“He was very worldly and deep in his thinking. My mom was the enforcer. My dad may have been in the Special Forces, but I was never afraid of him. My mom’s still here, and I’m still deathly afraid of her. She’s a very tough, tough old lady, very demanding. She was the hand, she was the one, I love her so much, but she was tough.There was zero negotiation.”
In 2006, Tiger’s father passed away and according to the golfer’s half-sister, things changed following Earl’s passing within the family.

Tiger Woods Used Some His Dad’s Influence With His Son, Charlie
Tiger Woods did take value looking back at his relationship alongside his father, and that was especially true when it came to his success in the world of golf.
Speaking alongside Golf.com, Tiger revealed that his dad’s influence also helped to shape his advice alongside his own son, Charlie.
Woods revealed, “Any parent in any sport I think is being supportive and being encouraging,” he said.
“I have been fortunate enough that my father was into golf and understood sports. He played sports. So from that standpoint, understanding the verbiage and understanding the work ethic of what it takes to play sports at a high level.
And then being a parent, you always want to be the protector and guider of them and teach them skills that they will need in life when you’re not around. And so that’s the most important thing about being a parent.”
Tiger is taking his father’s approach, while also sprinkling in his own words of wisdom.
“I always tell him why we’re doing what we’re doing, so that he can retrace the steps,” Tiger added.
“And when he gets a little off, now he knows what to go back to and understand that, ‘OK, if I hit that shot, it’s that pattern, this is the fix.’ And you’ve got to be able to do that when you playing tournament golf. You have to understand in tournament golf you’ve got to make a switch on the fly and trust it.”
