Tiger Woods' son: 'My father and I are terrible at lying'

American Charlie Woods rated his team's putting poorly after he and his father Tiger scored -8 in the first round of the 2023 PNC Championship on the par-72 course in Orlando on December 16.

"I hit really well, didn't miss a fairway, and still had to work hard to get to under 8. We just putted poorly," said 14-year-old Charlie. As soon as his son finished, Woods added: "That concludes it."

Charlie's statement can be verified by a couple of 300-yard drives and a 321-yard drive that went over the flag and rolled off the green at the par-4 13th hole.

On that hole, Team Woods made birdie when both father and son holed their balls after two putts.

As for the closing hole, the "Super Tiger" had two par putts many times throughout the match, achieving the farthest putt distance of 3.3 meters and only twice, the rest had to be within 1.5 meters to be successful.

As usual, the 2023 PNC Championship will still have 20 men's pairs competing for points over two rounds, competing for a prize fund of $1.085 million in a "scramble" format. This style often leads to significantly negative round scores when each member of the team tees off, then chooses the best position for both to hit the next shot, repeating until the hole is finished.

In the first round of this period, Woods' team scored eight birdies, thereby finishing T11 with a score of -8. The top of the table belonged to Matt Kuchar's family, at -15. Yesterday, Charlie showed many powerful shots. In addition to the tee shot at hole 13, Woods' son also used an iron to hit the ball more than 200 yards into the green of the par-5 hole twice. Commentator Notah Begay, also a close friend of Woods, said that Charlie's driver speed is currently in the range of 185-193 km/h, the ball speed can easily reach more than 280 km/h.

The PNC Championship was established in 1995 and is held annually, inviting only major champions or The Players Championship winners on the PGA Tour to pair up with their family members. Woods and Charlie have participated since 2020, with their best result being runner-up in 2021.
