Top moments of Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods from the 2021 PNC Championship pro-am event
Pre-round
Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods had a tee-off time at 9 in the morning. Hence, team Woods arrived an hour earlier and had a good practice session at the range. Both these players had a practice session of about 25 minutes where they bombed a few drives and flushed some irons. Moreover, we saw Tiger with the new TaylorMade Stealth driver, which was just confirmed a few days ago by the USGA.
Furthermore, Charlie Woods went to the putting greens and practiced a few putts. Meanwhile, Charlie was looking like a carbon copy of his dad while practicing putts.

Best shots and moments
Tiger Woods had his wedge and the short iron game dialed in. He was hitting darts, and even Charlie complimented him on a few holes as he showcased his distance control with a wedge. However, the highlight of the day has to be Tiger’s incredible tee shot on par-4 11th hole. He bombed a 320-yard drive, and team Woods used his drive for that hole.
Meanwhile, Tiger and Charlie even made a few incredible putts throughout the round. So here are a few of the best shots from Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods.
Sooo…that Charlie fellow…he’s gotten a lot stronger.
Just hit a 3-wood from 245 to 20 feet on the par-5 3rd.
Dad goes next and hits one directly as the flag again. I can’t see how close it is, but Tiger is all smiles. That was a laser. All smiles so far. pic.twitter.com/nx2w35cKwr
