There was a time when Tiger Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren couldn't be in the same room, but they showed up reunited on Tuesday night to celebrate their son Charlie’s latest milestone. Following in his dad's legendary footsteps, Charlie and his teammates from The Benjamin School won the 2025 FHSAA Class 1A state title. They also won in 2023.

Three individuals stand together at a ceremony; the central figure wears a medal.

In a video posted by ESPN West Palm, the former couple stood together for the championship ring ceremony. The 17-year-old stood in the center between his parents, posing for photos while showing off his medals.

Remembering the cheating scandal

Tiger's carefully crafted image was ruined after the scandal

The sight of Tiger and Elin together still carries weight. The two divorced in 2010 after a highly publicized cheating scandal that unraveled Tiger’s once-perfect image and became one of the most dramatic personal downfalls in sports history.

Elin discovered the infidelity during Thanksgiving week in 2009, with Rachel Uchitel later identified among several women who came forward.

She famously used a golf club to smash the windows of the Tigers' SUV, and he drove over a fire hydrant and into a tree. After the divorce, she walked away with a $100 million settlement.

Where things stand now

Nearly two decades later, they have a strong co-parenting dynamic, putting their kids first. They are also the parents of a daughter named Sam, who is 18.

In 2014, she told PEOPLE they repaired their relationship for their children. "In the beginning, you tamp down the animosity for the kids' sake," she explained. "But I don't think I doubted we'd end up here. That was always my dream, that the kids could have two loving parents who show respect for each other. And I feel that's what they have."

Tiger echoed those statements in 2015, telling TIME, "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. I wish I had known that back then." "We've worked so hard at co-parenting to make sure that their lives are fantastic.

Tiger’s is believed to be dating Vanessa Trump, whose eldest daughter, Kai, also attends The Benjamin School and is a promising golfer. The pair were recently spotted together at the Genesis Invitational, an event hosted by the Tiger Woods Foundation.

AS for Nordegren, she later found love with former NFL tight end Jordan Cameron. They kept their relationship under wraps for a few years before making it public, and they welcomed three kids together, Arthur, Zeta, and Freya. They are notoriously private and are rarely spotted together.
