BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- World number one golfer Tiger Woods has become a father again after his wife gave birth to a boy, Charlie Axel Woods.

    It is the couple's second child following the birth of daughter Sam Alexis in June 2007 on the day after the U.S. Open.

    "Elin and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Charlie Axel Woods, who was born on Sunday February 8, 2009," Woods wrote Monday on his official Web site.

    "Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts." Woods added in the statement.

    The 33-year-old Woods is a six-time winner of the Buick Invitational, where he also won the U.S. Open last summer for his 14th career major.
