Charlie Woods and Sam Alexis Donate Their Entire Childhood Savings to Texas Flood Victims — Tiger Woods Says: “Dad Is Proud of You Guys”

In a powerful and deeply personal gesture, Charlie Woods and Sam Alexis Woods, the children of golf legend Tiger Woods, have donated their entire childhood savings to support families affected by the devastating Texas floods — an act of compassion that has inspired the nation and moved their father to tears.

The flooding, which ravaged communities across Central and Eastern Texas, left thousands displaced and dozens dead, including young children and entire families. As aid continues to flow in from across the country, it was this quiet, selfless act by two teenagers that captured the hearts of millions.

According to sources close to the family, Charlie (15) and Sam (17) had been watching the news unfold with their father, and were especially impacted by the stories of children who lost their homes, schools, and parents.

“They came to me one evening and said, ‘We want to help — not just with words, but with what we have,’” Tiger shared in a rare, emotional statement. “They emptied their accounts. Every penny. I’ve never been more proud.”

The funds, reportedly in the tens of thousands, had been saved over years — from birthday money, tournament winnings, allowances, and personal savings. The donation is being directed to a verified disaster relief initiative focused on providing immediate housing, food, and school supplies to flood-affected families with children.

But the gesture didn’t end there.

In a handwritten letter attached to the donation, Sam Alexis wrote:

“We know it’s not everything, but we hope it brings a little light in a dark time. Kids deserve to feel safe. We just wanted to help them feel that again.”

Charlie, who has been gaining attention in the junior golf world for following in his father’s footsteps, added:

“My dad always tells us that greatness isn’t about winning—it’s about giving. This is us giving back.”

The story began circulating after one of the relief workers shared the letter anonymously, saying, “It wasn’t meant to go public, but it was too beautiful not to share.”

Since then, messages of admiration have poured in on social media. One viral post read: “Tiger Woods raised champions on and off the course. Charlie and Sam just taught the world what real leadership looks like.”

Tiger, who has also made substantial personal donations to flood relief, told reporters:

“This wasn’t my idea. This was all them. They didn’t do it for attention. They did it because they felt the pain of those kids. As a father, all I can say is—Dad is proud of you guys.”

In a time when headlines are often filled with division and despair, Charlie and Sam Woods have reminded us of something simple and powerful: that kindness starts at home, and the next generation isn’t waiting for permission to lead with love.
