Tiger Woods’ 16-Year-Old Daughter Sam Caddies for Him at PNC Championship in Orlando: Watch
It was a family affair Saturday in Orlando, where Tiger’s 14-year-old son, Charlie, also joined him on the course.
For the first time ever, Tiger Woods’ 16-year-old daughter, Sam, caddied for him, and “it couldn’t have been any more special” for them.
For starters, it’s already a special weekend for Woods, who is competing at the PNC Championships at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando. The tournament pairs former champions with a family member. Woods’ 14-year-old son, Charlie, has been his partner for some time now. Whenever they hit the greens, it’s always news.
But this time around, Woods’ eldest child joined them on the course to caddie for him. Sam appeared to be having a great time being tied to her dad’s hip, holding his golf bag and getting behind the wheel of a golf cart driving him to the next hole. It was quite the trio on the course.
“Sam was fantastic,” the legendary golfer told GolfWeek after Saturday’s first round. “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, 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’s no stranger to caddying himself. He does exactly that for Charlie at his junior events. But is he a good caddie? Charlie poked fun when GolfWeek asked him about it.
“For dad as a caddie, his reads are hook-bias, and I don’t hook as much as he does,” Charlie quipped. “So all of my putts, I miss right. So, I have to account for that.”
