Woods: Daughter Sam not into golf because it 'took daddy away from her'

Tiger Woods' daughter Sam doesn't share the same passion for golf that he and his son Charlie have.

During an interview with Carson Daly on Wednesday's episode of "Today," Woods explained that Sam, 16, has a negative view of golf because of how often the sport kept him away from his family when she was younger.

"She has, I think, a negative connotation to the game," Woods said. "Because at that time ... when she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her. I had to pack, and I had to leave, and I had to be gone for weeks, and there's a negative connotation to it.

"So we developed our own relationship, our own rapport that's outside of golf, that we do things that doesn't involve golf. Meanwhile, my son and I, we do everything golf-related."

The 15-year-old Charlie has followed in his father's footsteps when it comes to golf, teaming up with Woods at the PGA TOUR's annual PNC Championship tournament in each of the last four years.

Woods, 48, last competed at the Masters earlier this month and told Daly that he hopes to play the next three majors.
