Whit Honea — Sat, 23 May 2009 18:04:00 GMT

Amy Mickelson, wife of Phil, has been diagnosed with breast cancer after undergoing a number of tests and will undergo surgery as soon as possible.

Lefty, as Phil Mickelson is often called, has pulled out of the PGA tour to be with his wife and their 3 children, Amanda, Sophia and Evan.

Our thoughts to Amy and the Mickelson family. Let's hope for a full and speedy recovery.

After 2nd-Round Loss, Tiger Woods is Going Home

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 01:47:00 GMT

Only one day after his much-anticipated return to golf, Tiger Woods is going home. And to explain what happened, I'm going to quote directly from MSNBC.com, because I don't know nuthin' bout golf and if I even attempted to tell you what took place out there, it would come out something like, "And then the other guy got the little ball in the hole before Tiger."

From MSNBC.com: "Tim Clark of South Africa played 16 holes without a bogey and pulled ahead for good on the back nine Thursday, knocking Woods out of the Accenture Match Play Championship with a 4-and-2 victory.

Woods holed out a 50-foot bunker shot for birdie on the 14th hole and appeared to be making a run, but his tee shot on the 15th hole hit a cart path and went over a fence and out of bounds, costing him the hole."

During the game Woods was visibly upset when things weren't going well, and when asked afterwards where he would go from here, he replied, “To the airport.” The good news is that Tiger will be flying home to spend time with newborn son Charlie, who was just born on February 8 as well as with wife Elin and daughter Sam.

Tiger, enjoy some quality time with your son - you'll be back at the game soon enough. (Rumor is he'll be playing at Doral in the CA Championship in two weeks.)

Sassy Smith — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:32:00 GMT

As we told you, golf champion Tiger Woods and wife Elin welcomed their second child - a son - on Sunday, February 8. Tiger posted a message, releasing their new baby's name and a personal thank you to fans.

Message from Tiger's official website:

Elin and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Charlie Axel Woods, who was born on February 8, 2009. Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts. Sam is very excited to be a big sister and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family. I also want to thank our doctors, nurses and the hospital staff for their personal and professional care. We look forward to introducing Charlie to you at the appropriate time, and again thanks from all of us for your kindness and support.

Tiger

Congrats to the happy family and we can't wait to see their new bundle of joy! Tiger and Elin are also parents to 19-month-old daughter, Sam Alexis.

Tiger Woods, must be on cloud nine - of course because he won the U.S.Open, but more importantly because he's got a beautiful family with wife Elin and daughter Sam Alexis. I'm guessing he's a very, very happy man.

Enjoy the pics after the jump!

Tiger Woods Celebrates U.S. Open Win With Daughter Sam Alexis

Tiger Woods is seen here savoring his U.S. Open victory with daughter Sam Alexis, who will turn one tomorrow. Woods' wife Elin handed the tot off to her dad right after his win and before he received his trophy from the USGA.

Woods beat Rocco Medina in a sudden death playoff yesterday at Torrey Pines to capture his third U.S. Open title. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I hear he won $7 million.

Something tells me little Sam might be getting that pony she's been asking for.

Tiger Woods Wins - Now He's Hanging Up His Golf Clubs Forever?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 05:52:00 GMT

Winner of the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods, hugged his daughter, held up his trophy (for the third time no less!), said he didn't feel like playing golf anymore. "I'm glad I'm done. I'm done." What does that actually mean? Is he done for a few weeks, a few months or is he hanging up his golf clubs forever?

"I'm glad I'm done. I'm done." So much can be read into that statement, and it's hard for anyone to know what the 32-year-old pro is thinking, unless he tells us. Does he mean he'll play in The Buick Open in 2 weeks time?

Or perhaps he'll swing those clubs at The AT&T National in July? Maybe he'll be on the green in five weeks at The British Open? Hmm.

It's a very real possibility that he's packing away the golf gear and maybe the only clubs he'll be swinging are at minigolf with his daughter Sam Alexis.

Perhaps it has something to do with the arthroscopic surgery he had on his left knee. Maybe he's sick of golf? Maybe he wants to lay low and spend the rest of his days (I mean really, he's going to be 33 soon! Old!) lazing around, enjoying his wife and young daughter. Maybe he wants to make more babies?

Or maybe he'll be back, better than ever, you just never know. Regardless, congrats on your win!

UPDATE: Tiger Woods Wins His Third U.S. Open Title

Whether or not Tiger Woods is on his way to his third U.S. Open title on Sunday one thing is for sure: he'll be savoring his first Father's Day as a dad to daughter Sam Alexis. Sam was born last year on June 18, the day after Father's Day.

Woods credits his daughter with helping him to recover from arthroscopic surgery on his knee that had him out of the game for two months.

“There’s no way I could have gotten through this without Sam being there,” Woods said. “Spending that much time off and away from training and trying to get better, Sam was absolutely incredible, and I had so much fun doing that. It took my mind away from the fact that I had a surgery done, and just watching her grow, walking, running now, it’s been just the greatest thing in the world.”

Father's Day will also be bittersweet for Woods, whose own father Earl passed away in 2006. But the elder Woods lives on in Sam, by virtue of her name. “My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born,” Tiger said in an interview last year. “He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’ He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam.’ ”

Phil Can't Beat Tiger, Maybe His Kids Can Beat Sam... at Pong

Whit Honea — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:34:00 GMT

Phil "Lefty" Mickelson just can't stand it. Tiger has his number. Lefty, who birdied the kids thing long before Tiger, is still finding himself standing in the traps and staring at the greens as news of the Woods' baby becomes the only news on the links.

Well, Lefty has a plan. If he can't beat Tiger at golf, maybe his kids can beat Tiger's, someday, at something. Hence this challenge posted on Phil's website:

Amy and I want to congratulate Tiger and Élin Woods again on the birth of Sam Alexis; we’ve seen their pictures on the Internet. We sent them a mini ping-pong table. Our kids have had a little head start on Sam Alexis and expect them to continue the Mickelson domination over the Woods in pong but we thought we should give Sam Alexis a chance to jump-start her own game.

Sounds bitter.
