Watch: Tiger Woods celebrates daughter Sam Woods in state championship

Add another championship to the Woods family.

Sam Woods, the 17-year-old daughter of Tiger Woods, became a state champion over the weekend as she was part of The Benjamin School varsity girls soccer team that won the Florida 2A FHSAA state championship. A senior defender on the team, the eldest daughter of the golf great helped Benjamin pitch a 1-0 shutout of Episcopal School of Jacksonville.

The win earned the school’s first girls soccer state championship in program history, and capped off an incredible postseason run for the team. After winning just four games during the regular season, Benjamin got seven consecutive playoff wins to capture the state title.

Woods was in attendance for the match at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand, Florida on the campus of Stetson University to support his daughter, and was seen celebrating with nearby parents and fans as Emma Bartoli scored the game-winning goal and when the team secured the victory. Afterward, Woods and his daughter shared a hug.

Sam Woods also took photos on the field with her dad and mother, Elin Nordegren, along with her teammates.

Not only it is another accolade for the sports family, but Sam Woods also joined her younger brother, Charlie, in bringing state titles to their school. Charlie Woods was part of the 2023 boys’ golf state championship team as a freshman.
