Tiger Woods given order by son Charlie on course as caddie intervenes with remark

Tiger Woods was offered some words of advice by his son Charlie while attempting to find the green at the PNC Championship, where they have teamed up in search of glory.

The legendary golfer is playing alongside Charlie at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando after finishing T5 in 2023. Woods is also accompanied by his daughter Sam, who is serving as his caddie for the second year in a row.

At one point, Charlie was attempting to put the ball on the green and managed to get it within a few feet of the hole. It was a great effort but the 17-year-old was unhappy with himself and urged Woods not to follow his example.

As his father was preparing to take his own shot, Charlie quipped: "Please hit it more solid than me." He was quickly reprimanded by his older sister, with caddie Sam firing back: "You're so negative!"

Charlie seems destined for a career in professional golf but it seems Sam is unlikely to take up the family tradition, with Woods explaining in May that she has no real interest in the sport.

During an appearance on the Today Show, he said: "She has, I think, a negative connotation to the game because at that time, when she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her. I had to pack and I had to leave and I’d be gone for weeks."

Before the start of the PNC Championship, Woods offered an update on his fitness after undergoing the sixth back surgery of his career in September.

He made it clear that he is not yet ready to return to regular action, saying: "This year, I struggled a lot with my back and that's why I had the procedure done. It's a lot better but I still have a long way to go.

"I've had a lot of procedures over the course of time. I'm not going to feel what I used to feel. The recovery is going to be the hardest part. I can do it for a day here and there, but over the course of rounds, weeks, months, it gets harder.

"Preparing for competitive play is different. That takes months, weeks, but it starts with each and every day. You just do the little things correctly and they add up. From the moment you get up, just do all the little things, the mundane [things].

"Unfortunately I've gone through this process a number of times. It's frustrating. It's hard but I have an amazing team, amazing support, but I have to do the little things on a daily basis and away from everybody. It's hard."
