Charlie Woods stole the show alongside 15-time major title winner Father Tiger at the PNC Championship when Justin Thomas and his father, Mike, took home the trophy at the family event Sunday.
But trophy or not, Woods said the outing with his 11-year-old son was something he would never forget.
“I don’t think words can describe it,” Woods said. “Just the fact that we could have this experience together, Charlie and I, are memories of a lifetime.”
Team Woods, both dressed in Tiger’s signature red and black, finished seventh on the course out of 20 major champion teams playing alongside a family member in a two-day event at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando. Florida.
Charlie, the youngest competitor in tournament history, displayed a sweet swing that was strikingly similar to that of his famous father.
The similarities did not end there. When he shot a birdie putt in the 10th on his 62-for-10-under Sunday, Charlie hit a punch that was all Woods.
“He’s not going to appreciate this at age 11,” Woods said. “I didn’t do it when I was with my dad. As the years go by, you start to appreciate it more. “
Justin Thomas, whose 13 PGA Tour titles include a PGA Championship, said that winning alongside his father might not have been his most important part of the victory, it was “100 percent the most enjoyable.”
Team Thomas raced to the lead with birdies on the first seven holes and eight of the first nine.
Mike Thomas drained a birdie putt at 18 to top his 57-of-15-under scramble for a one-shot victory over Fiji’s Vijay Singh and his son Qass.
