LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods is proudly showing off his new son, Charlie Axel, just 10 days after the golf star and his wife, model Elin Nordegren, welcomed their newest addition.
Charlie Axel gets the star treatment in the five photos posted on Woods' official Web site, even getting a kiss in one from older sister Sam Alexis, who was born in June 2007. Even the family dogs get into the action!
Woods and Nordegren, who married in 2004, welcomed their son on Feb. 8.
"Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts," wrote the world's top-ranked golfer on his Web site shortly after the birth.
The 33-year-old PGA star is still in the midst of recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee following his U.S. Open win last June, but he previously admitted that his injury turned out to be a blessing.
"While my injury has been disappointing and frustrating, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time watching Sam grow," he said. "I can't begin to tell you how rewarding it is being a dad and spending time with her and Elin."
Now that his new baby has arrived, many believe Woods will return to the course by defending his title at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, which begins on Feb. 25.
