Tiger Woods and his family made headlines once again as they participated together at the PNC Championship, reinforcing their bond and commitment to co-parenting after years of public scrutiny. Held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando from December 17 to 22, 2024, the event brought joy to both fans and the Woods family alike.
On the tournament's final day, Tiger and his 15-year-old son Charlie Woods showcased their golfing prowess, with Charlie making headlines for scoring his first-ever hole-in-one during the par-3 fourth hole. "It was awesome. I didn’t think it went in. I don’t believe anybody until I go up there and see it," Charlie explained, reflecting the disbelief and excitement of such a remarkable achievement. This was not just any day on the course — it was also his father's embrace and shared delight as they celebrated this milestone together.
The family dynamic was on full display, highlighting how far they've come since Tiger’s highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren. They were married from 2004 until their split in 2010, which stemmed from Woods' infidelities. Despite the tumultuous history, both have made significant efforts to remain united as co-parents for their two children: Charlie and 17-year-old Sam, who caddied for her brother during the championship.
Throughout the weekend, the trio was often seen sharing joyful moments, dressed in matching Sunday red, Tiger's signature attire. "This week is for each other, and we’re just rooting so hard for each of us to pull off each shot we want," Tiger said, illustrating the enjoyment they found simply being together as a family.
Elin Nordegren, who was often spotted during the tournament, continues to demonstrate her commitment to the children’s sporting events. While she watched part of the competition from TV, she later joined the action on the grounds to support her son and his father. Observers remarked on her unwavering support, as she has previously been seen cheering for them during past tournaments, including the 2020 PNC Championship. Her presence sparked conversations about the positive co-parenting relationship they now have.
Tiger and Elin's relationship has evolved dramatically over the years, with sources stating, "They’re friends now. Everything happened in the past is behind them. They both decided to be adults and to do what was best for the kids. So they get along really well. Tiger says really great things about Elin. He never complains about her, ever. … The kids love them both." This renewed friendship paints the picture of mutual respect and goal-oriented parenting.
The tournament itself is significant, providing not just glory on the golf course, but precious family memories. Since the beginning of their appearances together at the PNC Championship, every year has been marked by milestones. This year, Charlie proved not just to be Tiger's son but also a formidable golfer like his father, injecting excitement and energy both for the family and spectators alike.
With each powerful swing and shared victory, the Woods family has reminded the world of what it means to come together as they navigate life’s challenges both on and off the course. Their ability to focus on each other's strengths rather than past grievances highlights how love and support can mend even the most fragile relationships.
At the PNC Championship, it was clear to everyone watching: Tiger and Charlie are not only here for golf but to celebrate family, growth, and unity—even if it did mean suffering through the ups and downs of the game. The competition ends with them finishing second, but it is not the place on the leaderboard that's most important; rather, it is the legacy they build together as father and son.
Fans of Tiger Woods will undoubtedly continue to root for the family dynamic, which has evolved from the painful separation to what seems to now be steadfast co-parenting revolve around love for their children. With all eyes on his family moving forward, the Woods have proven time and again: family always wins after all.
