Tiger Woods has been absent from competitive golf, but his name is still making rounds. His impact on the golfing world is undoubtedly visible. Interestingly, the golf in him did influence the two munchkins in his home as well. Or at least one.

Charlie Woods has been making headlines in the golfing world with his splendid shots. People can see Tiger’s wisdom lurking in him. But what about her sister, Sam Alexis Woods? The legend’s daughter, who once crushed on soccer star Lionel Messi, compared him to her father’s G.O.A.T status. Did she lean towards soccer or golf?

Is Alexis Woods fond of golf?

The 15-time major champion is struggling with an upheaval in his personal life. While he has had much luck in his professional life, the personal stories are as heartbreaking. In the middle of lawsuits and divorce throwbacks, his children must have really stood as a respite to his heart!

Seeing them play the sport that made him who he is might be a cherry on the cake. Perhaps that’s why Tiger Woods made a young Sam hold the golf clubs, to instill a love for the game in her. And he did succeed, but partially.

Sam Alexis Woods often accompanies her father to golf tournaments, cheering for him and showering him with her support. But she has initiated a love affair with soccer and left Charlie Woods to carry their father’s legacy. And the boy is doing a fine job!

Tiger Woods must have seen it coming because he was also not their sports idol. A young Charlie and Sam once cracked a joke with their father and named Lionel Messi their idol. It looks like Alexis stuck to the thought, falling in love with soccer. But she does have a shared interest with her mother.

Tiger Woods’ ex-wife reflects in his daughter’s interests

Sam Alexis Woods was born when her father was at the height of his career during the time of their marriage with Elin Nordegren. While he fared in his professional pursuits for long after his daughter’s birth, his personal life did not remain calm for long.

He was followed by his divorce from Nordegren in 2010, a public breakup with Lindsey Vonn in 2015, and a lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend Erica Herman. But his kids have remained in the utmost care of both Woods and Nordegren.

Quite naturally, Alexis also reflects the equestrian lifestyle of her mother. Since a very young age, she’s been riding horses and competing in several events. Hence, while Charlie picked on the love for golf from his father, Sam Alexis Woods donned her mother’s interests. And of her idol, of course!
