Tiger Woods Spends Even Less Time With His Kids! We Thought He Was Getting Better

Tiger Woods golf game might be slowly improving, but apparently his dedication to his children is not.

Tiger Woods came back in full swing this weekend at the Chevron World Challenge — almost nabbing first place — but things aren’t getting any better off the greens. Apparently, Tiger, 34, is spending less and less time with his kids, Sam, 3, and Charlie, 1½, who are almost always with their mom, Elin Nordegren, 30. “Tiger spent Thanksgiving with his two kids and his mother but hasn’t seen much of them since the split,” an insider tells Rob Shuter of PopEater.com. “They spend most of their time with Elin, who is getting on with her life since the ugly separation.”

Tiger spent Thanksgiving eating pie with his kids!

The source says that Elin hates being around Tiger and prefers to be somewhere else when he visits Sam and Charlie. And we don’t blame her. After the infamous Thanksgiving 2009 car crash exposed Tiger’s secret life and destroyed her marriage, Elin has every right to be disgusted with her estranged husband. And what probably makes her even angrier is that he hardly spends time with their children — he hasn’t been photographed with the kids since June 26, when he attended Sam’s birthday!

Tiger can make mac and cheese?

While Tiger continues to golf his way back to the top, Elin is enjoying her time with the kids, recently bringing them to a Boca Raton, Fl. church to celebrate the Swedish holiday St. Lucia’s Day! “Elin wants the children to know their Swedish traditions and learn Swedish,” a friend of hers tells PopEater. “One day, she can see herself and the children all moving back to Sweden to be around her family.” Tiger better shape up or he’ll be saying bye, bye to Sam and Charlie for good!
