Tiger, son Charlie all smiles as PNC Championship nears
Tiger and Charlie Woods’ Thursday range session at PNC Championship
ORLANDO – The tournament itself will not begin until Saturday, but there was no shortage of anticipation as the main act – a duet – took the stage for pro-am day at the chilly, breezy PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Grande Lakes on Thursday.
And there were two immediate reactions.
The first impulse, only human, was to smile as 11-year-old Charlie Woods warmed up alongside his dad on the range. Although he’d won some junior tournaments, he had largely eluded the cameras. Now, though, his fundamentals, tempo, mannerisms – heck, even the Nike Golf shoes – were a sight to behold. Here, before the world, was a sort of Mini Me version of Tiger Woods.
