BREAKING: Tiger Woods’s Daughter Sam Woods Reveals Baby Name—Golf World Stunned by Emotional Tribute
In a moment that has taken both the sports world and fans by surprise, Sam Woods — daughter of golf legend Tiger Woods — and her fiancée have officially announced the name of their newborn daughter. But it’s the meaning behind the name that has left everyone emotional.

The couple revealed they have named their baby girl “Eldra Tatum Woods” — a powerful tribute combining Tiger’s birth name, Eldrick, and the late Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Gianna Maria-Onore “Gigi” Bryant, whose middle name inspired the elegant “Tatum.”
“Eldra is a name that holds legacy, strength, and deep family meaning,” Sam said in an exclusive statement. “It honors my father’s journey and everything he’s overcome, while ‘Tatum’ is a nod to resilience and inspiration from another sporting family that shaped our generation.”
The announcement stunned fans not only for the rare public insight into Sam’s private life, but also for the emotional depth behind the name — a touching blend of golf and basketball royalty.
Tiger Woods, who was reportedly moved to tears upon hearing the name, said, “To see my daughter carry forward a name that reflects strength and legacy… I couldn’t be more proud. This is a full-circle moment.”
Social media erupted within minutes of the news, with fans and celebrities pouring in congratulations and admiration for the meaningful choice. The hashtag #BabyEldra began trending globally.
This surprise reveal comes just weeks after Sam made her first public appearance in months, sparking rumors of an engagement and pregnancy that are now joyfully confirmed.
