“We have Sam and Charlie, and we love them so much,” Woods continued. “We are going to do whatever it takes to make that work.” 

Even though they got divorced, the golfer and his ex-wife thought best for their children and decided to co-parent. While it sounds easy, it is hard to make that choice. And that is why when Woods explained how he and his ex-wife want the best for their children, the studio audience cheered for him.
