Tiger and Elin Woods will become first-time parents this summer, the world's top-ranked golfer announced Saturday.
The couple did not disclose the month of birth or whether the child is a boy or girl.
"Obviously, we couldn't be happier and our families are thrilled," said Woods, who turned 31 Saturday. "I have always wanted to be a dad. I just wish my father could be around to share the experience."
Woods was introduced to his future wife by fellow tour player Jesper Parnevik. The former Elin Nordegren, who turns 27 on Jan. 1, was a successful model in Sweden. They began dating and became engaged in November 2003 in South Africa, where Tiger was competing in the Presidents Cup. The couple was married on Oct. 5, 2004 during a private ceremony of family and close friends in Barbados.
"I'm going to stick close to home for the next few week," Woods said. "As I said on my Web site Friday, I'm going to start my 2007 PGA Tour season at the Buick Invitational in late January, which will allow Elin and I to spend more time with our families during this very special time in our lives."
At least he's wearing the correct shirt with the black tie.
Thats because it's an Armani, not a Nike..........LOL!
Depending on when the child was conceived, it is entirely possible that Tiger will miss any 3 of the four majors starting in June with the US Open. And that might also put into doubt his appearance in the 10 million $ Fed-Ex Cup that finishes here in Atlanta at East Lake in September.
Congratulations to the Woods family!!!!!
Way to go Tiger!
I hope DD gets it back together, but it seems golf just isn't his number one priority anymore. I'm surprised he took the exemption.
Maybe that's for the best,but as a certified golf nut,I hate to see a talented golfer like Duval leave the game.
Oh me too, and as a Georgia Tech alum I was one of the biggest Duval fans out there. I would like to see him get it back together, and I think he can, and win again, and even win a major.
Just curious, but what is so special about this?

Just celebrity news, but I am glad for Tiger and his georgeous wife. I would rather listen to this then hear about Britney any day.
Take a nap.
Gotcha. And you right on re: BS.
Yeah but that dork is getting it on with her. LOL!
