The first round of the 2023 PNC Championship is over, with the duo of Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods having had a fun day on the course. Playing for the fourth straight time as a pair, Charlie's sister Sam Woods was also on the bag for Tiger Woods, making it quite a family affair.
The Woods' duo carded a score of 8 under 64 to finish 11th at the end of the day. Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron had an impressive round of 57 and lead the field going into day 2.
Tiger and Charlie Woods enjoyed some long drives, but came up short when it came to putting. During the post-round interview, Charlie Woods spoke about how their day went. He said, via the PGA Tour:
“I drove the ball really good today. Didn't miss a fairway, and still managed to shoot 8-under. We just suck at putting.”

Tiger Woods expresses joy about playing with his family at the PNC Championship
Tiger Woods has just recently come out of an injury that had kept him away from golf for a long time. With no pain in his ankle anymore, he walked the course without a limp and showed promising signs for the 2024 season.
However, at the end of the day, it was most important for Woods to spend time with his family. He said:
“For me to have both my kids inside the ropes like this and participating and playing and being part of the game of golf like this, it couldn't have been more special for me. And I know that we do this a lot at home, needle each other and have a great time. But it was more special to do it in a tournament like this.”
Tiger Woods and his son have a lot of ground to make up in the coming rounds, especially as they have been projected to be among the favorites to win the tournament.
