Cheyenne Woods may have taken time off from active golf owing to her two pregnancies, but her love for the game remains eternal. The half-niece of the legendary golfer Tiger Woods has gone through many personal changes in the last few years.
Married to Aaron Hicks, the golfer was already blessed with a son, Cameron, in 2022. Then last year, she welcomed her second child, a daughter, Maya Nicole Hicks, in October. Now, months after recovering from childbirth, the 33-year-old golfer spoke about it all: motherhood, her children, and her love for golf!
Cheyenne Woods goes candid about motherhood and missing the LPGA Tour
Recently, Woods sat down for a candid interview with Golf Week USA, where she talked about her motherhood journey and how much she misses golf. She said, “I do miss Tour golf.” The golfer opened up about not missing the travel that she used to engage in while on the Tour; instead, she missed the competition. “I don’t necessarily miss the travel, but I do miss the competition,” said Cheyenne Woods. Talking about what she does while she misses the sport, she said, “I watch a lot of golf. I watch more now than I probably ever have.”
Talking about her son Cameron, who is a 20-month-old son now, she said that he loves to play both the sports of his parents. My son loves watching golf; it’s crazy. He’s really getting into playing baseball as well. I would love for my kids to eventually be able to see what mom can do and what mom used to do.” The last time Woods enjoyed playing golf was five days before she went into labor with Maya.
She also explained that while she loves golf, traveling for competitions made it difficult for her to spend time with her family. Now that she is not competing at the moment, she loves waking up next to her children and feeding them. She prioritizes family above everything else. “Our family is really what’s most important to me in terms of priority,” she added.
