The younger Woods is playing in one of four pre-qualifiers for the event. Approximately 25 players and ties will advance to Monday’s qualifier. There, four spots will be available into the PGA Tour event, which starts next Thursday.
The combination of lots of youthful flexibility with an undeveloped upper body means it’s the lower body that becomes the powerhouse of lots of junior golfers’ swings. And Tiger’s message for Charlie was simple: that’s just fine.
Tiger’s jaw literally dropped on one of Charlie’s high lobbers, a shot so impressive that dad – much like any of us would – declared that it was time to end the warm-up.
According to a report from Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis, Charlie, who will turn 15 in February, will be moving back one set of tees for the 2023 edition of the PNC Championship.Â
The 15-time major champion will team up with 14-year-old Charlie Woods at the PNC Championship next month. It will be the fourth consecutive year the pair has teed it up in the event.
Vijay and Qass Singhs’ 26-under 118 total at the PNC Championship—accomplished by becoming the first team to shoot back-to-back sub-60 rounds in the 25th playing of the event—allowed them to hold off another comeback challenge from John Daly and his son John II, the defending champs, who shot a closing 59 to finish two shots short.
For every child whose enjoyment of the sport is enhanced by the spark of competition is one whose passion is crushed by the pressure applied by his or her parents.
Their commitment to the PNC, which was expected, means that Tiger Woods will play three times in December after not playing any competitive golf since the Open Championship in July.
Tiger and Charlie put on one helluva show, dropping 11 straight birdies from Nos.7-17 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club to briefly tie Team Daly for the lead.
