Tiger Woods’ Daughter, Sam, 17, Joins Her Dad and Brother Charlie as a Caddie at the PNC Championship – Photos

The 48-year-old golfer hit the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, accompanied by his 17-year-old daughter, who took on caddie duties, and his 15-year-old son.

Tiger and Charlie took part in the 2024 PNC Championship, continuing a tradition they’ve maintained for several years. Meanwhile, Sam returned for her second year as a caddie for her dad, having made her debut at an event last year.

Fans were excited to see Charlie and Sam, with many jumping into comparisons about who the kids resembled, especially Sam, as they wondered if she took after her mom or dad. One fan quickly pointed out Sam’s resemblance to her mom, “Daughter looks like Elin. Beautiful like her mama.” Another echoed the sentiment with “She looks like her mama 😍.”

Not all fans agreed on the resemblance, though, as one stated, “The girl looks exactly like her dad.” Another pointed out a detail they clearly loved, “Wow she definitely have [sic] her Dad’s smile.” A fan who concurred made a point to compliment Tiger’s son, “Wow his daughter looks just like him. Son is a good golfer.”

One fan was especially taken with Sam, gushing, “He’s [sic] daughter tho 😍.” Lastly, a fan praised the family’s togetherness, “It is great to see this family playing golf together. It shows that they love spending this time as a family unit. 👏❤️.”

“He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’ He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam,'” explained the golfer. Therefore, to Tiger Woods, the name Sam was fitting for his daughter as she was born just a day after Father’s Day.

Today, Sam has chosen a different path from her brother, Charlie, opting not to follow in her dad’s footsteps as a golfer. Tiger once revealed that Sam holds a “negative connotation” towards the sport, as it was what often took him away during her childhood.

Charlie made headlines during the final round of the PNC Championship 2024 by sinking his first-ever hole-in-one at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Florida. He achieved the incredible feat on a par-3 hole using a 7-iron.

The ball landed roughly six feet to the left of the hole and gently rolled into the cup.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the young golfer turned to his father, Tiger, for a heartfelt celebratory hug. Their matching red shirts and black pants added to the iconic moment, a nod to Tiger’s signature style.

After the round, Charlie spoke about his accomplishment with a mix of awe and excitement. “It was awesome,” he said. “No one made a mistake today, so that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. On top of that, I made an ace. I don’t think I can top that.”

Reflecting on Charlie’s growth in the game, Tiger added, “On the hole previous, he made his first eagle (in a previous PNC), and now he just made his first hole-in-one. It’s a magical two-hole stretch. I’m just so happy for him and for the enjoyment we had as a family.”

He expressed that the tournament’s greatest reward was the opportunity to partner with his son and share such meaningful moments on the course.

Team Woods finished as runners-up, marking their second top-two finish at the PNC Championship. Their previous best performance came in 2021, when they placed second, two strokes behind John Daly and his son, John Daly II.

Following Team Langer’s championship, Bernhard expressed confidence in Team Woods’s future success, “I’m convinced they are going to win this thing in the next few years. They are just too good.”

As the son of one of the most famous golfers in history, Charlie faces significant expectations. Tiger, however, offers his son simple advice. “You know, Charlie is Charlie. Yes, he’s my son. He’s going to have that last name as part of the sport, but I just want him to be himself,” he said.

When asked how Charlie is handling the pressures of the spotlight, Tiger expressed confidence in his son’s resilience, “I think he is doing a great job.” He explained that Charlie faces unique challenges as part of a generation constantly under the scrutiny of social media, where people are frequently recorded and observed.

Charlie’s hole-in-one at the 2024 PNC Championship showcased his skill and the strong bond between him and Tiger, marking a memorable moment in their golfing journey.
