Tiger Woods is loved by most golf fans around the world. The 15-time major winner has made more records than he has broken. Woods has always been open about his personal life with his fans. But did you know that the golf legend also had half-siblings? And were you aware that Woods once gifted a house to his half-sister?
Woods’ half-sister opens up about her relationship with the golfer
Woods has always been known as the caretaker of his kids, Sam and Charlie. But it isn’t the same with his half-siblings Kevin, Earl Jr., and Royce. Woods and his two brothers Kevin and Earl Jr. have the same father – Earl Woods. Kevin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2009 and has to sit in a wheelchair. Earl Jr. said that Kevin’s condition was “60 to 70 percent worse” and that he would not be able to “keep his house much longer.”

Tiger Woods’s half-sister Royce once mentioned that she used to being close with the golfer. She also did Woods’ laundry and fixed meals for him during his college years. As a sign of gratitude, Woods bought a house and gifted it to Royce. But after Earl Woods’ funeral, none of the siblings have been able to contact Tiger Woods.
In a 2010 book named ‘His Father’s Son’, Royce told the author Tom Callahan, “I would live in a shack, literally a shack, if I could have my relationship with my brother back.” All three of Woods’ half-siblings have always been away from public attention.
Who are Tiger Woods’ kids?
Tiger Woods got divorced from his wife Elin Nordegren in 2010. Ever since the split, Woods has been trying to be a good father and giving the best to his children, Sam and Charlie. Both his kids have been the biggest supporters of the golfer throughout his career.
Sam Alexis was the first child Woods had with Nordegren, and was born in 2007. Woods talked about Sam’s name and said, “We wanted to have a name that would be meaningful to either side of the family,” Sam was born on father’s day and there could not have been a better time for Woods to have his first day as a father.
