Who knew Tiger Woods was a soccer fan? Golfer brings kids to El Clasico in Miami

Golf may be Tiger Woods’ chosen profession, but over the weekend it was all about soccer.

Ahem — football — as they call it around the rest of the world.

On Saturday Woods, while on daddy duty, used his celebrity to meet soccer’s biggest star, Lionel Messi, who was playing in El Clasico at Hard Rock Stadium.

Twitter shows a pic of the fallen athlete with his two kids Sam and Charlie along with Messi and Luis Suarez of FB Barcelona and two other unidentified little friends. In the caption Tiger, 41, writes: “Thank you to Messi and Suarez for meeting my kids and their best friends.”

Spain’s FC Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 during the well hyped match which saw Marc Anthony and Flo Rida perform.
