Aside from winning and losing, the championship was a collection of wonderful memories. It is the only platform where professional golfers can compete alongside family and friends.
Tiger Woods and his 13-year-old son Charlie Woods were the center of attraction at the tournament. They have been in the headlines throughout the event.
During a conversation with the media, Junior Woods spoke about his father's impressive performance in the first round of the tournament. Charlie said:
"Yesterday, that's the best he's ever played in a while, and that kind of shocked me. "
In response, Tiger jokingly said:
"Yeah, I used to be good."
It is important to note that Tiger Woods has been away from golf since July this year. In February 2021, he was involved in an accident that injured his leg, forcing him to stay away from the game.
Woods revealed in one of his interviews that he would have lost a leg in the accident. He has attempted to give it his all but has struggled with his game.
Charlie, on the other hand, has wowed golf fans with his strong showing at the PNC Championship. He performed admirably and was well-liked by the other golfers.
