Sam Woods puts brother Charlie in his place as Tiger lines up shot at PNC championship
Their dad might be one of the most famous men on the planet, but Sam and Charlie Woods are just like other siblings. Tiger is enjoying the privilege of playing alongside son Charlie at the PNC Championship.

Tiger and 15-year-old Charlie tore up the front nine with a series of birdies. Woods Jr. – looking every bit his father’s son – hit an approach most golfers would be proud on the ninth. But ever the perfectionist, he was not happy with his effort and the microphone picked up his comments. “Please hit it more solid than me,” Charlie said as Tiger lined up his own shot from the same spot. “You’re so negative,” said elder sister Sam to leave the commentators chuckling away. Charlie ended up making a birdie putt to go six under – maybe his 17-year-old sibling knows best after all. The teen beat his dad for the first time on Friday. “Yeah, he beat me for nine holes,” Woods told reporters, per the PGA Tour. “He has yet to beat me for 18 holes,” he quickly clarified. “That day is coming, I’m just prolonging it for as long as I possibly can.” GettyCharlie and Tiger have similar manerisms[/caption] GettyThe father-son duo form an effective team[/caption] Woods and Charlie played the pro-am yesterday ahead of this weekend’s PNC Championship, which sees golfers team up with their kids. “It was just a fun day to be out here playing again, and looking forward to the weekend,” Woods, who is returning from a sixth back operation, said. “I’ve had a lot of procedures over the course of time. I’m not going to feel what I used to feel. “And the recovery is going to be on the harder side. I can go for a day here or there, but over the course of rounds, weeks, months, it just gets harder.” This will be the fifth time Team Woods plays at the two-day, 36-hole competition.

The 15-time Major winner revealed the fatherly advice he gives to his son. “I just always remind him, ‘Just be you.’ Charlie is Charlie,” he said. “Yes he’s my son, he’s gonna have that last name as part of the sport. “But I just want him to just be himself, you know, and be your own person. “That’s what we’ll always focus on, and we’ll always encourage it, for him just to carve his own name, to carve his own path and have his own journey.”
