Tiger Woods and his son Charlie stole the show at the PNC Championship, even though they didn’t walk away with the trophy. Sure, Team Langer claimed the 2023 title, but the Woods duo delivered plenty of thrills and heartwarming moments, finishing a respectable tied-fifth at 19-under.

The weekend was a true family affair. Not only did Tiger and Charlie light up the course, but Tiger’s daughter Sam caddied for her dad, adding another layer of warmth to their performance.

Their 11-under final round was testament to both their talent and Tiger’s inspiring comeback. The golf world has watched Tiger battle back from his 2021 car accident and its lasting impact. Seeing him back on the green, swinging freely, is a win in itself.

But let’s not forget Charlie. The kid can flat-out play! His talent and poise, paired with Tiger’s legendary presence, made them the most-watched twosome on the course. Every drive, every chip, every putt held potential for magic.

And magic came in several forms: Charlie chipping in from off the green, the father-son fist pumps, the shared smiles of pure joy. These were the moments that resonated beyond the scorecard.

While the trophy eluded them this time, Woods’ words after the tournament revealed a promising future. “Once a month seems reasonable,” he said about his playing schedule for 2024. This glimpse into his ambition suggests we can expect to see Tiger in his element more often, competing and inspiring the next generation of golfers.

The PNC Championship may be over, but the Woods family left an indelible mark. They reminded us of the power of family, the thrill of athletic prowess, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. And that, in the end, is a victory worth celebrating.
