Tiger Woods was back on the golf course with both of his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren this weekend, as he and his son Charlie took part in the 2024 PNC Championship — while his daughter Sam once again took on caddie duties.
On Saturday, Dec. 21, the 48-year-old golf great hit the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, where he was joined for the second-consecutive year by his 17-year-old daughter, who made her caddying debut alongside her dad just a year before.
Tiger, Sam and Charlie, 15, could be seen in photos and videos wearing sport-appropriate attire — with Sam toting her dad’s clubs — and smiling at each other as they prepared for a fun day of golf as a family.
As for the father-son duo, they have teamed up for the PNC Championship for multiple years, with the Florida golf tournament seeing professional golfers pair with family members for a 36-hole outing.

Tiger has told reporters in the past that he is always “excited” to simply play a round of golf with his son, although they keep it “competitive,” using Charlie’s par to more equally count their scores.
“Charlie clearly loves the times he spends with his dad on the golf course,” a source close to Woods told PEOPLE in 2020. “It’s a definite bonding activity for the two of them.”
The tournament continues through Sunday, Dec. 22, when the final round kicks off at 9:30 a.m.

Tiger shares his two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, whom he married in 2004 and later divorced in 2010. Charlie was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 2009, while Sam was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 2007.
“I just love being with them and seeing what they’re doing, what they’re capable of doing — the joys, the shifts of interest. It’s just fun. We have a great time together,” Tiger said about his two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren back in 2011.In recent years, Charlie has followed in his father’s famous footsteps as he begins to carve out his own name as a professional golfer. The teen made headlines in April when he attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open. Charlie fell short of that mark, but later qualified for his first USGA tournament in June, shooting -1 under on the 71-par course.

Charlie told reporters after qualifying for the tournament that he has his sights set on winning the USGA Championships, but also made it clear that his goal is to also “hopefully one day [win] the U.S. Open.”
A month later, Charlie struggled while trying to qualify for the the U.S. Junior Amateur, missing the cut by 18 strokes. His father is the only golfer to win the U.S. Junior Amateur championship three times, clinching the titles consecutively when he was 15, 16, and 17 years old, according to USA Today.
In the past, Tiger has said he will be “proud” of Charlie no matter what career path he chooses, though he didn’t hide his excitement about sharing the course with his son when they first played in the PNC Championship tournament in 2020.
“I don’t think words can describe it,” Tiger said at the time. “Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, it’s memories for a lifetime.”
