From “nasty” to adorable and downright mesmerizing interactions, the PNC Championship is becoming the ground for revealing the family-like relationship Tour pros share with each other. As the camera panned towards the Pro-Am session on Friday, many such moments were captured forever to be remembered by the public.
Out of all the memories made in the first session of Pro-Am, Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods’s hidden dynamic with each other and the rest of the field was the highlight of the day. The pair are making their 4th appearance at the family event and has already made the news for three major things surrounding their stay.

1. Will McGee interviewing Charlie Woods and his friendship with Woods Sr.: Although Woods Sr. had prevented Charlie Woods from the cameras and giving the press conference interview at the PNC Championship, the 14-year-old still managed to answer the question by Annika Sorenstam’s son, Will McGee.
The 12-year-old asked Charlie Woods on SiriusXM if he always listened to his father. McGee asked, “My mom was wondering because she gives me advice on my swing, but I don’t listen often. … Do you listen to your dad on swing tips?” To which Woods Jr. replied, “It doesn’t happen very often,” but only when he is “desperate”.
Moreover, McGee also shared an adorable moment with Woods. When McGee expressed his nervousness felt when playing at Tee 1, Woods replied by saying. “You should be… it means you care.” Additionally, when Sorenstam came to check on McGee and asked if he was listening to Woods, the legendary golfer said, “Other way around, I’m listening to him.”
2. Woods Sr. thoroughly impressed with Charlie Woods’s shot: Before the Friday Pro-Am commenced, Team Woods was warming up while taking a few shots. In one instance, Woods was stunned and quite impressed with his son’s shot.
Right after Woods Jr. took the practice shot, the 82X PGA Tour champion complimented him by saying, “We’re ending on that right there; that was nasty! ” The Woods was proud of his son’s shots so much so that he put down his club and started walking away as a gesture showing that he can’t hit better than that.
3. Witnessing Woods walking without struggling: Since his withdrawal from the 2023 Masters in April and surgery thereafter, Woods was making the news, as he was seen struggling while walking and usually was limping. However, in recent times the 82x PGA Tour champ has shown tremendous recovery and could be seen walking normally.
