Tiger Woods has come face to face with ex-wife Elin Nordegren as the divorced couple attended their son Charlie’s high school state golf championship ceremony.
Woods and Nordegren were both in attendance to celebrate Charlie, 15, winning a high school state golf championship in Palm Beach, Florida.
While Woods has, for years, said that they co-parent well together, he was seen standing awkwardly aside as Nordegren posed for a picture with Charlie and her son with ex-NFL player Jordan Cameron.
Woods, 48, was married to Swedish model Nordegren, 44, for six years before divorcing in 2010, with the golf legend’s infamous cheating scandal left their marriage in ruins.
Before going their separate ways, they welcomed two children together in Charlie, now 15, and daughter Samantha, 16 – with Nordegren going on to have a fourth son, Arthur, with former NFL star Jordan Cameron in December 2019

The youngster beamed as he showed off his championship ring, before posing for a photo with his mom and half-brother Arthur as his dad watched on from a distance.
Woods also shared a hug with his son after he did him proud by shooting a 78-76 over the course of two days while representing his school.
Back in December 2022, Tiger and Charlie reportedly gave Nordegren a shoutout during the PNC Championship following the arrival of her fourth child, according to Golf Monthly.
Furthermore, Erin was seen following Tiger and Charlie in 2020 when the father and son competed together at the PNC Championship.
Charlie was 11 at the time and it was the first time that he played golf under such spotlight.
‘I don’t think words can describe it,’ Woods said. ‘Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, they are memories for a lifetime.’
Tiger has, in the past, underlined how he and Erin prioritize their children’s wellbeing, despite enduring such a public split in 2010 in a story that gripped the world.
Talking to TIME magazine in 2015, Woods said: ‘Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic. 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.’

The ex-couple’s reunion comes after Woods’ former agent Hughes Norton opened up about his old client, recalling how he was ‘zombie-like’ when ending relationships.
Ahead of the release of his tell-all book, Rainmaker, which hit shelves on March 26 in the United States, Norton spoke to Mail Sport about the insight into his meteoric rise and abrupt fall – which ended with Woods firing him in 1998.
‘The solace I can take, which doesn’t provide much, is this: He was an equal opportunity zombie with relationships, his swing coaches, his lawyer, the guy negotiated the IMG representation deal, with caddies,’ he said about the 15-time major winner. ‘When it’s over, it’s over.
‘It is the way he terminates relationships with everyone. Whether it’s girlfriends, whether it’s his former golf coaches.
‘It’s ironic, really. In a way he’s so good at confrontation on the golf course. If he’s playing you, he will beat your brains out every single time.
‘But when it comes to confronting things like me and other people that are in his life, he has no social skills whatsoever. It’s maddening, actually.’
Last November Erica Herman, Woods’ ex-girlfriend of five years, dropped legal action against the golfer and said she was not a victim of sexual abuse during her time with him.

In 2017, Woods was arrested for DUI and described by police as ‘confused and woozy’
The former restaurant manager stated that she ‘was never a victim of sexual harassment or sexual abuse at the hands of Tiger Woods or any of his agents and it is her position that she never asserted a claim for such,’ in court documents filed to Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal.
Herman dated Woods from 2017 to 2022 and worked at the golfer’s restaurant, The Woods Jupiter in Florida.
She initially claimed she had been forced into signing an NDA when Woods began to pursue a sexual relationship with her and was seeking to sue to be released from the agreement.
In the meantime, Woods is expected to play at The Masters next month, held at Augusta National in Georgia.
Woods also dated Lindsey Vonn for three years, before they split in 2015.

The golfer agreed to undergo a 12-month probation diversionary program for first-time offenders and pay a $250 fine.
He also had to complete a DUI school and 50 hours of community service.
