The audience erupted in applause as Charlie shared a heartfelt embrace with his father, Tiger. The two golfers were dressed in matching black pants and red shirts, a nod to Tiger’s signature style. Tiger beamed with pride, exclaiming, “Yeah!” as he gave Charlie a warm hug.
Charlie described the experience as “awesome,” saying, “It was some of the most fun I’ve ever had because nobody made a mistake today. And I made an ace. I don’t think I can top it.” Tiger echoed his son’s sentiments, calling it “one of the highlights we’ve ever had.”
The PNC Championship 2024 marked a special moment in the Woods’ golfing journey. Tiger expressed his delight in playing alongside Charlie, saying, “The greatest reward is getting to play with my son and experience these moments together.” Although Team Woods finished second in the tournament, Tiger is confident that Charlie will continue to excel in the sport.
As Charlie navigates the challenges of growing up in the public eye, Tiger offers guidance and support. “I just want him to be himself,” Tiger said. “He’s going to have the last name, but I want him to make his own identity, follow his own path, and have his own journey.” With his father’s wisdom and encouragement, Charlie is poised to make a name for himself in the golfing world.
