– Tiger Woods (45) and his son Charlie (11) will compete in the PNC Championship to be held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, USA on the 20th (Korean time). It is an event in which players who have won major competitions compete with their families in a group of two.
Tiger Woods’ caddy is Joe Lakaba. His son Joe Jr. carries Woods’ son’s bag at the PNC Championship, the US Golf Week reported on the 18th. Lakaba has been caddy with Fred Couples since 1987. From 2011, Woods’ bag was removed.
Golf Week introduced, “It’s a competition for fun, so if Lakaba’s son plays Charlie’s caddy, wouldn’t it be fun?”
Woods’ son, Charlie, has won two children’s regional competitions this year. There are reports that the swing and rough words mixed with jokes to stimulate the opponent during the game are similar to his father. “I don’t know how similar Charlie’s swing is to me,” Woods said, “but the competitive spirit is our family’s style.”

– Woods played pro-am on the 18th and said, “It’s nice to see Charlie playing golf.” Justin Thomas, who will be playing in a pair with the Woods rich man, introduced an anecdote three years ago, saying, “It is not desirable to compare Charlie, now 11, to his father.”
Charlie, who was running at the top of the 9-hole putting game with Woods and Thomas, said, “Now, the 9-year-old is winning the world’s number one player and the best golf player of all time.”
