On a sunny day in Orlando, Tiger Woods enjoyed a heartwarming moment on the golf course. His 16-year-old daughter, Sam, became his caddie for the first time during the PNC Championships at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. This tournament brings together former champions and their family members for a fun-filled day of golf. While Woods usually partners with his 14-year-old son, Charlie, in these events, having Sam as his caddie was a unique and special experience.

Sam was full of joy as she accompanied her father, carrying his golf bag and even driving him to the next hole in a golf cart. Woods couldn’t contain his pride as he spoke to GolfWeek after the first round, saying, “Sam was fantastic. This is the first time she’s ever done this, so it couldn’t have been any more special for all of us. For me to have both of 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.”

The father-daughter duo enjoyed the playful banter that is typical of their family outings on the golf course. Woods, who often acts as a caddie for Charlie in his junior events, got a taste of his son’s perspective when it came to reading the greens. Charlie humorously revealed, “For dad as a caddie, his reads are hook-bias, and I don’t hook as much as he does. So all of my putts, I miss right. So, I have to account for that.”

Sam and Charlie are Woods’ children from his previous marriage to Elin Nordegren. Sam has made notable public appearances in the past, such as during Tiger’s induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in March 2022. She delivered a heartfelt speech, acknowledging the challenges her family faced after her father’s serious car crash and expressing gratitude for his recovery. Sam celebrated Woods’ resilience and his groundbreaking achievements as the first Black and Asian golfer to win a Major.

It’s heartwarming to witness the love and admiration Tiger Woods’ children have for their father. The bond between them is truly special, and it’s evident that golf holds a special place in their family’s heart.
