Tiger Woods is no stranger to making headlines, and this time he’s making waves with a new addition to his team at the PNC Championship in Orlando. Joining him on the bag is none other than his 16-year-old daughter, Sam. It’s a family affair as they navigate the course at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, making the event even more special for the Woods clan.
This isn’t Sam’s first appearance alongside her father. She previously introduced Woods at his induction into the prestigious World Golf Hall of Fame. However, this is the first time she’s taken on the role of caddie, adding a whole new level of excitement to the rainy Saturday in central Florida.
Speaking about his daughter’s performance, Tiger Woods couldn’t have been prouder. “Sam was fantastic,” he remarked. “This is the first time she’s ever done this, so it couldn’t have been any more special for all of us. Having both my kids inside the ropes and participating in the game of golf like this is truly a remarkable experience.”
Not only did Sam provide exceptional support on the course, but she also added a touch of familiarity and fun for the Woods family. “We needle each other and have a great time at home,” Tiger shared. “But doing it in a tournament setting like this made it even more special.”
This outing also marks another search for a full-time caddie for Tiger Woods, as his former bag man Joe LaCava is now working with Patrick Cantlay. At the recent Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, Woods enlisted the help of longtime friend and business partner Rob McNamara.
While Tiger continues his search, his son Charlie has had his own trusted caddie in the form of Joe LaCava’s son, Joe Jr., for the past three years. Currently, Charlie is teaming up with his high school teammate, Luke Wise, who helped them secure a team state title for Benjamin just last month.
Team Woods finished the first round of the PNC Championship strong, recording an impressive 8-under 64, trailing Team Kuchar by seven shots.
As for Tiger’s experience as a caddie for Charlie in his junior events, the young golfer had a light-hearted critique. “For Dad as a caddie, his reads are hook-bias, and I don’t hook as much as he does,” Charlie joked. “So all of my putts, I miss right. I always have to account for that.”
