When this week's Presidents Cup team competition at Royal Montreal Golf Club ends on Sunday, Woods will put away his clubs and forget about golf for the next two and a half months.
Fatherhood is still something of a novelty for the 31-year-old American, whose Swedish wife Elin gave birth to their first child, Sam Alexis, in mid-June.
Life on the road for any professional sports figure can be lonely and Woods has decided to take the longest break of his career to spend quality time with his wife and daughter.
" It's not seeing her (Sam) every day and helping Elin," the 13-times major champion said of his biggest regret while playing on the U.S. PGA Tour over the last three months.
" We don't have nannies and we don't have any other help. When I'm at home, I can help but when I'm not there, Elin's being a complete stud about it and doing it all on her own.
" You feel guilty for not being there, for not helping out. But we want to do it ourselves. We don't want anyone helping raise our child because it's our child."
Money is hardly an obstacle for Woods who, according to Forbes magazine, is the world's biggest-earning sportsman. Arguably the greatest golfer in history and probably the most recognizable athlete on the planet, Woods made around $90 million last year.
