Tiger Woods is a daddy.
Less than 24 hours after world golf No.1 Woods finished second at the US Open on Father's Day, his wife gave birth to a daughter.
Woods announced on his website -
www.tigerwoods.com - that
Sam Alexis Woods was born early on
Monday morning US time.
"Both
Elin and
Sam are doing well and resting peacefully," Woods wrote.
"We want to thank our doctors and the hospital staff for all their dedicated and hard work. This is truly a special time in our lives and we look forward to introducing
Sam to our family and friends over the next few weeks.
"We thank everyone for their well wishes and continued respect of our privacy."
Woods finished one shot behind
Angel Cabrera on
Sunday to finish second in a major for the second time this year.
Phil Mickelson's first child was also born the day after he finished second in the US Open in 1999.
