DELAND — Tiger Woods left his seat during the first water break of the Class 2A girls soccer state championship game on Saturday and returned with a brand new t-shirt from the merchandise booth at Spec Martin Stadium.
Woods’ new shirt, with “2025 FHSAA State Championships” emblazoned on the front, became a reality for his daughter Sam Woods and Benjamin girls soccer later in the night as the Bucs defeated Episcopal School of Jacksonville 1-0 to claim the program’s first state title.
Woods, like others wearing Benjamin orange and blue in the stands, erupted into a cheering frenzy throughout the match, perhaps most loudly when Emma Bartoli got on the receiving end of a cross from Irish Hoffman and scored the match’s only goal in the 31st minute.
That excitement carried to the end of the game, when he embraced Sam, a senior defender for the Bucs, in a long congratulatory hug as she and teammates celebrated at the edge of the stands.
