Tiger Woods falls agonizingly short of dream win on return to golf with son Charlie

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie, 15, lost a playoff to Bernhard Langer and his son Jason at the PNC Championship on Sunday.

Bernhard, 67, sank the winning putt to defeat Tiger and Charlie in Florida, but the duo that the crowd so desperately wanted to emerge victorious still had plenty to be positive about.

‘It was awesome, no one made a mistake today. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had,’ Charlie said.

Woods had a sixth surgery on his back in September and speaking Friday, was keen to downplay any hopes anyone had that he and Charlie could be the winners by Sunday night. But for so long on Sunday, it looked like it was written in the stars.

Earlier in the day, Charlie hit his first ever hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole, sparking wild celebrations.

The pair were already sitting pretty among the leaders of the tournament when the teenager stepped up to take his tee shot.

Incredibly, it landed a few feet in front of the hole and then bounced straight down the cup – much to the surprise of Charlie himself.

Back on the  fourth tee, he looked around in shock, asking whether the ball had gone in. When he was told that it had, dad Tiger was the first on the scene to congratulate him.

The famous pair then had a bear hug on the tee, with Tiger looking delighted at his son’s achievement.

‘That was one of the highlights we have ever had,’ Tiger said. ‘Before that he made his first eagle.

‘It was a dream two hole stretch. As Charlie said, no one made a mistake today.’

As for his overall health for playing golf, Woods tried to cool the excitement over how promising he looked.

‘I’m nowhere near competitive shape, I’m a great scramble partner,’ Woods said.

Shortly after bear-hugging his dad and celebrating in his success, superstar dad Tiger dampened Charlie’s mood with a joke – and a hilarious clip of the moment quickly went viral.

Just off the fourth green when Charlie had collected his ball from the hole, Tiger can be heard telling him: ‘You’re buying for everyone out here’.

In response, Charlie hits back: ‘I’m not buying, I’m broke…’ before Tiger adds: ‘You’re buying. He has to buy. That’s protocol for making a hole-in-one.’

Charlie defiantly repeats: ‘I’m broke’, before Tiger twists the knife with: ‘Round on you, bud.’

Tiger also had his daughter, Sam, as their caddie on Sunday. And despite finishing as runners-up, it promises to be a great night in the clubhouse for the Woods family – so long as Charlie gets the drinks in.

Tiger Woods used by PGA Tour for big announcement as LIV Golf deal edges closer

Golf enthusiasts have been treated to a sneak peek at the PGA Tour’s state-of-the-art production studio, courtesy of a social media video tour featuring none other than golf icon Tiger Woods. With 82 PGA Tour wins under his belt, Woods is captured exploring the vast 165,000 square-foot facility located in Ponte Verde Beach, Florida, which is slated to become the hub for all PGA Tour productions as of January 2025. The announcement, first made this January, signals the Tour’s ambition to outreach more fans globally with their World Feed broadcasting from the new studio next year. Luis Goicouria, PGA Tour Senior Vice President of Media, shared earlier this year: “Everything that we’re doing in terms of forward thinking and new technologies is about serving the fans and meeting them where they are by customizing content so it’s maximized for any individual platform. “Some of the technologies coming out now will be really important and some won’t. Of course, you can’t tell where the fans will be, but there’s a lot of cool things you can do around golf, so the idea for us is to use some of these new platforms and technologies to show off our game and show off the beauty of our sport. “Every one of these things that we’re doing is with the fan in mind and trying to give the fan the best possible experience and engage them as long as possible.” And with the countdown to the official launch now well under a month, fans are getting glimpses of what’s in store, thanks largely to Woods. The PGA Tour’s new strategy comes at a crucial juncture, amid talks with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) aimed at resolving its spat with LIV Golf. Following a surprising tentative agreement in June 2023, discussions between the PGA Tour and PIF have been ongoing. After over 18 months of talks, a formal agreement is yet to be sealed, but indications suggest significant headway has been made. A Bloomberg report from earlier this month indicated that PIF is poised to acquire a six percent stake in the tour’s profit-making arm, PGA Tour Enterprises. This potential deal comes on the heels of a massive investment by Strategic Sports Group (SSG), which earlier struck a deal possibly worth $3 billion with PGA Tour Enterprises. The impact of these executive moves on the fairways and greens is yet to fully unfold. Currently, any PGA Tour golfer participating in the contentious LIV series faces a ban from the US-based tour. This policy has ᵴtriƥped stellar names like Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka of their rights to play in PGA Tour events in recent times.
