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.

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.”

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.
