Tiger Woods’ daughter shines... but not in golf

Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers in history, now has a front-row seat as his 17-year-old daughter, Sam, begins to make her own mark in the world of sports – though far from the greens and clubs of golf, where she’s served as a caddie for both her father and younger brother, Charlie.

This past weekend, Sam Woods helped lead the girls’ track and field team at Benjamin High School in Palm Beach to the Florida high school state championship, held in Jacksonville – a city with special significance to the Woods family. Tiger won The Players Championship there twice, in 2001 and 2013.

While Sam didn’t shine in her individual events – the 100m and 400m hurdles – she was instrumental in the relay races, running the third leg in both the 4x800 and 4x400 events. Benjamin High School finished second and fourth in those races, respectively, securing enough points to claim the overall state title.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t Sam Woods’ first state title. Back in March, she also won the Florida high school soccer championship, scoring the decisive goal in the final to clinch victory for her school. She’s clearly intent on following in her father’s footsteps as a champion – just not on a golf course.
