Former world number one Tiger Woods will once again play alongside his son Charlie at the PNC Championship in Orlando next week. Earlier this month, Woods said he was not “tournament sharp” due to his recovery from back surgery in September. However, Woods is now healthy enough to compete with his 15-year-old son Charlie in this special father-son tournament, where players are allowed to use golf carts.
Woods and his Son Charlie Back on the Green
Woods, who turns 49 this month, has not played since The Open in July, where he missed the cut for the third time in a row. The PNC Championship now offers him the opportunity to return to the course in a more relaxed atmosphere. The father-son duo finished fifth last year and tied for second in 2021.
“I’m very excited to head back to the PNC Championship next week with Charlie”, Tiger Woods said in a statement. “Playing together is something we look forward to, and it’s always more special when you’re surrounded by friends and family.”

A Game of Generations
The tournament attracts current and former professional Tour golfers who play with a parent or child. German legend Bernhard Langer and his son Jason return to defend their title. Fijian Vijay Singh and his son Qass, as well as American Nelly Korda and her father Petr will also be in Florida.
Woods did not take part in his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas last week to continue recovering from his sixth publicized back surgery – the first since 2021 – and missed most of the 2023 season due to a lower leg fusion needed to treat post-traumatic arthritis he suffered in a car accident in 2021.
