Tiger Woods’ message shows true colour in a massage to son Charlie’s friend

Tiger Woods has been embracing the family feel at the PNC Championship as he showed his fatherly side in an exchange with son Charlie’s son in a heartwarming scene.

The 15-time Major championships winner is competing alongside his 14-year-old boy at the tournament at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando. One of the biggest names involved in this year’s edition, Woods’ paternal instinct was clear for all to see as he joined his son on the course for Friday’s Pro-Am.

Father-son duo Tiger and Charlie are taking part in the 36-hole team event for a fourth time, with the former having made his comeback after surgery on his ankle. The American sporting icon went under the knife after suffering pain as a result of a single-person car crash in 2021.

Having finished even par and 18th out of 20 at the Hero World Challenge last month, it was clear Woods was enjoying every moment of this latest bonding experience with his son. In one instance, the 47-year-old showed he is still a kid at heart as he playfully threw a chicken tender at his son during a break for some lunch.

Showing his more serious side, the five-time Masters victor also was on hand to offer some advice to youngsters at the event. He shared an amusing exchange with John Patrick Daly’s son as he asked the 20-year-old where his dad was at the start of a warm-up session, before quipping: “All you gotta do is show up on time.”
