Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin, released their first photos of their son, Charlie Axel, on Tuesday.
He became a father again when his wife gave birth to a boy on Sunday.
“Elin and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Charlie Axel Woods,” Woods wrote in a short statement on his Web site. “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.”
Sam Alexis was born on the Monday after the 2007 U.S. Open, and Woods did not play for three weeks, even skipping a title defense the week before he returned at the Buick Open.
But he is not new to fatherhood any more. And even with a son, if Woods follows his own father’s routine, it still will be another six months before he puts Charlie in a high chair to watch him swing a golf club.
Woods has great respect for Charlie Sifford, the first black to become a PGA Tour member; Sifford playfully refers to Woods as “my grandson.” Axel is a Swedish name that means “father of peace,” according to the Web site birthcare.com (his wife is Swedish).
