Sam, the daughter of golfer Tiger Woods, made her debut as his caddie during the PNC Championship held on December 16th in Orlando, Florida.
The presence of Mr. Woods’ son Charlie (14) and 16-year-old Sam at the event captured in photos has caused them to go viral on social media.
According to a report by USA Today, Sam Woods was observed holding the bag while her father took some practice shots ahead of the 36-hole competition at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.
During the event, the iconic golfer engaged in a competition with his son.
On Instagram, the PGA Tour shared a heartwarming video of Mr. Woods and his daughter sharing a special moment together as Sam acted as her father’s caddie for the day. The post was accompanied by the caption: “Today marks Sam Wood’s inaugural experience serving as her dad’s caddy.”
The PNC Championship is renowned for featuring golfers who team up with their family members during the event. One of its recent matches witnessed Tiger and Charlie Woods pitted against golfer Justin Thomas together with his father Mike on a Saturday afternoon.
“During a post-competition interview, Charlie Woods stated that he had an excellent day driving the ball. He did not miss a single fairway and still managed to score eight under par. However, he expressed frustration with his team’s putting abilities.”
“That’s exactly it,” said Tiger Woods with a smile in response to his son’s statement.
Mr Woods, aged 47, also commended his daughter’s caddie skills. “Sam was exceptional and it made the experience all the more special for us since it was her debut,” stated Mr Woods.
