If you can figure out how to slow down that irritating flash viewer he has on the site, you might get to see her! Also announced on the site, is that Woods is skipping the upcoming Buick Open, in favor of staying home with his wife and new daughter. Good for you Tiger!
UPDATE: June 18, 2007. Sam Alexis Woods born early June 18. Click here for updated story.
Tiger Woods, and his wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren, are expecting their first child in July, and the media hype just shifted into high gear.
USA Today ran a feature on April 2nd called Name Tiger’s Baby as speculation about the baby’s name starts to build. In a poll running next to the feature, readers were asked if they thought the baby would be named Earl, after Tiger’s father, if it is a boy. Out of more than 6,000 votes cast, 65% thought the little Tiger cub would be named Earl, or Earline if it’s a girl.
Believe it or not, Earline is the feminine form of Earl.
But what about other family names? Elin Nordegren’s parents were named Barbro and Thomas. I could certainly imagine them choosing Thomas Earl if it’s a boy. And I kinda like that name Barbro. Has a very contemporary feel to it. “Yo, bro.” And what about Tiger’s mom’s name, if the newborn is female? Her name is Kultida (she is from Thailand) so maybe a Thai name is in the stars.
Speculation aside, you can be sure that the hype around this baby will be right up there with the births of Shiloh and Suri on the celebrity baby Richter scale. That’s a ten. And we’ll be right there in the thick of it!

I´m swedish and I just wanted to say that Barbro is kind of an “old” name in Sweden and I don´t think that Elin would choose that name for her child.
The same with Thomas, that´s not a name for a baby. Maybe as a second name but I think we will see something totaly different as a first name.
Mother and Baby and Dad healthy. That’s all.
There’s lots of surprising joy ahead.
Three or four tiny, cute young hackers with Elin and him grinning and chasing.
I have given this considerable thought.I love these names:
baby boy Erlund Tiger Woods (a form of son-of-Earl)
baby girl Summer Leigh Elin Woods
=^)
Sam Alexis Woods
She had it Monday morning.
it’s a girl by the way
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
