KEY POINTS:
Superstar golfer Tiger Woods looks decidedly chipper as he cuddles up to his new baby daughter.
The world No1 and his wife Elin posed at their Florida home with Sam Alexis, who arrived on June 18, three weeks early.
Tiger, 31, held the tiny baby close to his chest for one of the pictures as his wife lovingly draped her arms around the pair.
In another photo they were joined by their pet dogs, Taz, a border collie, and Yogi, a labradoodle.
Woods admitted the new arrival was the first person to distract him from his game. And although he is meticulous about preparing for his matches, he admitted he planned to be more flexible now he was a dad.
Tiger, who is worth more than $840 million and married Swedish model Elin Nordgren, 27, in 2004, said family commitments would determine how much golf he played.
"My practice sessions are going to have to be tailored and moved around a little bit," he said.
"I don't really know how my game is going to be affected because I've never gone through it before.
"Elin and I are excited and this is far more important than golf. I don't know how much I'm going to play."
Elin went into labour just 24 hours after Tiger was pipped at the US Open title by Angel Cabrera.
