Tiger Woods understands why golf isn’t his daughter Sam’s cup of tee. “She has … a negative connotation to the game, because when she was growing up, golf took Daddy away from her,” Woods told TODAY’s Carson Daly on May 1. “I had to leave, and I’d be gone for weeks.”

Tiger Woods spent a comfortable 9 minutes and change chatting with Carson Daly on the “Today” show on Wednesday morning. Woods was in New York City promoting his Sun Day Red apparel brand, but the two also reminisced about their childhood playing golf together in Southern California.

Tiger Woods is without a doubt one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport. And that passion for the sport has seemingly carried over to his son, Charlie Woods, who is seemingly pursuing a career in golf as well.
