Baby photos of Tiger Woods' daughter released

LOS ANGELES - Just one week after welcoming his first cub into the world, Tiger Woods has released the first photos of his beautiful baby daughter.

Photos of Sam Alexis Woods, born June 18, were posted on TigerWoods.com on Monday, giving the world their first peak of the baby.

In the photos, the proud papa cuddles with his newborn and his wife Elin Nordegren.

Joining mom, dad and baby for the photo spread was the couple’s pups Taz (the border collie) and Yogi (a white labradoodle).

Sam is the first child for the couple, who were married in 2004.

Tiger posted the following message on his Web site the day his daughter was born:

“Both Elin and Sam are doing well and resting peacefully. 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.”

Tiger and Elin announced their pregnancy in December 2006.
