Tiger Woods Breaks Silence on Daughter Sam’s Romance with Blades Brown, Leaving Fans Stunned
June 2, 2025, Tiger Woods has finally addressed the swirling rumors about his daughter Sam Alexis Woods’ alleged romance with rising golf star Blades Brown, delivering a statement that has left the sports world speechless. The 17-year-old, who recently graduated from The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and is set to attend Stanford University in the fall, has been linked to Brown, a 19-year-old amateur golfer who clinched the 2024 Porter Cup and is making waves in collegiate circles. Woods’ rare public comment on his daughter’s personal life marks a significant moment, blending his iconic golf legacy with a father’s perspective.
The rumors gained traction in recent weeks after Sam was spotted supporting Brown at the Palmetto Amateur Championship in May 2025, where the Duke University freshman showcased his talent with a final-round 66 to finish tied for third. Social media buzz, particularly on platforms like X, amplified speculation, with photos of the pair together fueling fan theories about a budding relationship. Brown, known for his powerful drives and poised demeanor, has been hailed as a future PGA Tour contender, adding intrigue to the narrative given Woods’ own golfing dynasty. Sam, who has carved her own path in soccer and track, winning a state championship with The Benjamin School in May, has largely stayed out of the spotlight—until now.
In an exclusive interview with Golf Digest, released moments ago, Woods broke his silence, saying, “Sam’s growing into her own person, and I’m proud of the choices she’s making. Blades is a talented kid with a bright future, and I’ve got no issues with her spending time with someone who shares her passion for the game.” The statement, delivered with his trademark calm, stunned fans expecting a protective stance from the golf legend, whose own high-profile personal life has been tabloid fodder. Woods added, “She’s got a good head on her shoulders, and I trust her judgment,” signaling a hands-off approach that contrasts with his intense on-course persona.
The revelation has sparked a frenzy online, with some praising Woods’ progressive attitude, while others question the timing amid his own evolving relationship with Vanessa Trump, which has dominated headlines since March 2025. Brown, for his part, has remained mum, focusing on his upcoming U.S. Amateur Championship bid. As Sam prepares for college and Brown rises in the amateur ranks, this unexpected endorsement from Woods could shape their futures—both on and off the course. Is this a father’s blessing or a strategic move to boost Brown’s profile? The golf world is abuzz, awaiting the next chapter in this surprising saga.
