Tiger Woods has arguably made the most miraculous return to professional golf at the PNC Championship. He played with his 12-year-old son, Charlie Woods, who has already made a great name for himself in the game.
The 15-time major winner met with a serious accident early in the year. However, while his golf career hanged in the balance, Tiger marked a remarkable comeback, finishing runners-up at the 2021 PNC Championship.
The dynamic father-son duo shot a firing 15 under par 57- in the final round on Sunday and finished in the second position at 25 under par, just two shots behind the winners.

Tiger’s Caddie comments on his swing
In a recent interview, Tiger Woods’ long-term caddie, Joe LaCava, said, “I don’t want to say shocked, but I’m a little pleasantly surprised.
“I get a lot more positive energy than I do negative energy, to be honest with you,” he added.
He further said, “A lot of quality long-iron shots. The short game is midseason form. Good touch. Better distance control on the 60-, 70-, 80-yard shots.”

Tiger Woods can surely still play golf, but the main issue will be walking 18 holes in a four-day event, which will take a huge toll on him. In reference to the same, LaCava said, “Obviously, physically you can see he’s in a lot of pain. He’s not even close to being there yet, to be able to walk a golf course and play at that level. But in terms of golf, not all bad.”
How long do you think before Tiger marks his return to the tour?
