Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren Attend Son's FSU Signing Ceremony

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren made a rare joint public appearance at a ceremony this past Friday honoring son Charlie's commitment to play college golf at Florida State University.

What was the ceremony for?

The event took place at Benjamin High School, where Charlie verbally committed to Florida State earlier this year. He is set to join the Seminoles in 2027 alongside Miles Russell, the top-ranked junior in the AJGA Rolex Rankings. The ceremony followed Charlie's individual district title at the Florida Boys Golf State Championship, which also helped his school capture the team title.

It was not the first time Woods and Nordegren, who divorced in 2010, have appeared together for one of their son's golf milestones. The pair also attended a ceremony last November for Charlie's Class 1A state championship rings, and were photographed together after a similar title in 2023.

What has Woods been doing since his March car accident?

Woods has largely stayed out of public view in 2026. He was charged with DUI and refusal to submit to testing after the accident, then announced he was stepping away from golf to seek treatment, spending time at a rehab facility in Switzerland before finishing the program in mid-June.

In September, Woods entered a no-contest plea to a reduced reckless-driving charge, resulting in a five-year driving ban and $1,961 in fines and fees. There is no confirmed timetable for his return to competitive golf, though veteran Steven Alker said this month that Woods is weighing PGA Tour Champions starts in 2027.

Woods has not confirmed whether he will play the Hero World Challenge or the PNC Championship, the two events where a 2026 return would be most likely.

A return this year could still come at the Hero World Challenge, which Woods hosts, or the PNC Championship, where he regularly partners with Charlie. Both events are scheduled for December.
