Tiger Woodsand Elin Nordegren are not ones to putt around when it comes to family milestones.
The former couple reunited on Nov. 6 to watch their 17-year-old son CharlieWoodssign his commitment contract to play golf for Florida State University following his high school graduation.
Tiger and Elin—who also share 19-year-old daughter Sam Woods—wore the Tallahassee-based school’s signature maroon colors and were joined by the model’s longtime boyfriend Jordan Cameron and their kids Arthur Cameron, 7, Zeta Cameron, 3, and Freya Cameron, 2, who also rocked Seminoles merch.
Charlie currently plays for The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Fla., and stands at 21st in the American Junior Golf Association rankings.
And his parents have been by his side at every step of his high school athletics career. In fact, Tiger, 50, and Elin, 46, were on hand last November to support Charlie as his team clinched the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 1A State Championship.
The duo, who divorced following Tiger’s 2009 cheating scandal, also came together in February to watch the teen receive his championship ring at an awards ceremony.

Tiger Woods Through the Years
“Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic,” Tiger—who is now dating Vanessa Trump—told Time magazine in 2015. “She’s one of my best friends. We’re able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time. We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids.”
It’s also been tee-rific for Tiger to watch his kids take a swing at golf. In recent years, the PGA Tour champion has played in tournaments with Charlie, and even had Sam join them as a caddie in 2023.
“For me to have both of my kids inside the ropes like this,” Tiger told the Golf Channel at the time, “and participating in and playing and being part of the game of golf like this, it couldn’t have been more special for me.”
