Tiger's wife Elin expecting child

ANAHEIM, California (AP) -- Tiger Woods celebrated his 31st birthday on Saturday by sharing some of his biggest news of the year -- his wife is expecting their first child this summer.

"Obviously, we couldn't be happier and our families are thrilled," Woods said on his Web site. "I have always wanted to be a dad. I just wish my father could be around to share the experience."

Woods and Elin Nordegren of Sweden married in October 2004, and Woods has said that he wanted children sooner instead of later.

He did not say when in the summer the baby is due, although it likely would be between the U.S. Open and British Open.

The world's No. 1 player is skipping the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship next week on Maui.

"I'm going to stick close to home for the next few weeks," he said. Woods will start his '07 season in the Buick Invitational at the end of January, "which will allow Elin and I to spend more time with our families during this very special time in our lives."

That baby hit the gene lottery.

Sometimes though an exceedingly talented or handsome couple produces a monstrosity (Joakim Noah). His mom was Miss Sweden and his dad isn't ugly I suppose.

I see his wife a lot in the gym in go to. Yep, she's gorgeous and has a very attractive athletic and toned look. She tones it down though, and usually works out in a baseball cap and running clothes.

I can't see Tiger playing much golf in the Fall so I doubt he will win the first ever Fed EX cup would not bet on it if it is offered somewhere.

I wonder if Tiger will push this kid to be a great golfer like his father pushed him.

I wonder if there is a youtube to that SNL skit when they portray a young tiger saying the worst day of his life is the day his dad glued that stick to his hand.
