While warming up for Friday’s pro-am at the 2022 PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Charlie rolled his ankle and is hurting a bit.
ORLANDO — Last week during The Match, commentator Trevor Immelman put Tiger Woods on the spot with a simple question: Is Charlie outdriving you yet?
Learning to play golf, on the good and the bad days. "I always tell him why we're doing what we're doing, so that he can retrace the steps. I can see him rehearsing shots, trying to get out of a certain pattern." Charlie's 255-yard average on the admittedly small sample size of two drives puts him above average for his age, and no matter which way you cut it, is impressive. "I spun one, he tomahawked one and got me." During Friday's pro-am at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, I watched him catch one on the 10th hole that traveled 279 yards, with roll.
Charlie Woods was seen with a limp at the PNC Championship Friday. Here's what happened, according to a family friend.
The Father-Son will be a very easy week, Charlie will just hit all the shots and I’ll just get the putts out of the hole, so pretty easy there. This is a modal window. In his role, he is responsible for editing, writing and developing stories across the golf space. “So this will be a tough week. “But apparently, Notah Begay, Charlie sprained his ankle while hitting golf balls on the range?” Friday’s news follows a year from Tiger Woods where he played in just three events — the Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship. On the broadcast, he limped, but played on, and he and dad are scheduled to start their first round at just after noon ET on Saturday. “It’s the walking that just hurts. But both events allow for the use of carts. A left leg limp from the younger Woods was noticeable during Friday’s pro-am, and on the Golf Channel broadcast, Begay, an analyst and Woods family friend, said it came after he rolled his ankle while hitting on the range. But the unfortunate update is that Charlie, the 13-year-old son of 15-time major champion Whatever the cause of his discomfort, Charlie joins his father at less than 100 percent, though Tiger’s troubles are in the opposite leg.
Tiger Woods admitted he could set back his recovery this week but said playing with his son was 'far more important.'
He played in both the Masters and the PGA Championship prior to that, making the cut in both. Charlie has grown noticeably since then and Tiger said recently that Charlie had outdriven him for the first time on a hole where the elder Woods didn’t hit it quite as good as he would have liked. Woods said there is a chance he could make the situation worse by playing and set back his recovery but “I really don’t care about that. The plantar fasciitis is apparently bothering Woods in his right heel and is related to the injuries he suffered in a February 2021 car crash that led to multiple surgeries on his lower right leg, foot and ankle. Woods rode in a golf cart as he was doing Friday and will do again over the weekend. Since playing at the British Open in July, Woods was said to be making good improvement. I can hit shots around the green. In the 18-hole pro-am, Woods hit only select shots and sat out some holes completely. He will play the 7,100-yard course from approximately 6,400 yards. “So when you’re dealing with the plantar like this, it’s one of these things where I need rest, and I haven’t exactly been doing that." In keeping with the Woods's low-key mantra on injuries, Tiger Woods would not disclose exactly what happened. “It’s just the way it goes.
Tiger Woods is used to fielding questions about his health, but on Friday, he was being asked about his son's health instead.

Tiger Woods says it's worth it to fight through the pain of his plantar fasciitis to play golf with his son, Charlie, at the PNC Championship this weekend.
"If I didn't have the plantar feeling like this, then, yes, I could tell you [how much I'm going to play in 2023] and I'd have a better idea," Woods said. Woods was able to use a cart in that event as well. He was forced to pull out of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas earlier this month because of plantar fasciitis. Because of the plantar fasciitis, Tiger said he wasn't ready to commit to a schedule for 2023. It's one of those things that, hey, I'm grateful to have this limb and it's mine. "Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son, it's always special," Tiger said.

We take a look at the younger Woods' talents ahead of the father-son PNC Championship.
He and Tiger Woods, who made his return to televised golf in The Match VII on December 10, will pair up to play as a father-son duo in the PNC Championship on Saturday, Dec. [has been a problem for quite awhile now ](https://twitter.com/RyanBallengee/status/1295097751756312582)for fellow competitors despite being born in 2009.. The Woods duo has teamed up in the PNC Championship twice before, coming in second place in 2021 in Tiger’s return to golf following his life-threatening car accident earlier that year.
At a father-son golf event, Charlie Woods emerged as a comparable to Bronny James, both as a pro prospect and a marketing juggernaut.
Of course, he doesn’t need the money, and if he chooses another career path, he’ll be prepared. This year, 10 hours of live coverage will run across Peacock, Golf Channel and NBC, and Golf Channel even ran out two hours of action from the Friday pro-am. “He’s not a risk for advertisers because of his name recognition alone,” said Weber. (The younger Daly plays at Arkansas and is making the most of his own legacy via an NIL deal with the restaurant chain Hooters.) At the Notah Begay III Junior National Golf Championship in November he shot a career-low round of 68, which included his first eagle, and tied for fourth in the Boys 11-13 group, all while Tiger toted his bag. “Arch is the five-star, guaranteed pro, while Bronny is more that four-star who definitely has a chance but is further from a sure-fire bet.” “At this stage he compares more to Bronny James than Arch,” Weber said. … It’s fascinating to watch now, but it will come down to how much he really loves the game for how successful he is.” The There are a few hazards to clear before Charlie and his chaperone can begin to “Just Duo It.” First, Florida law prohibits high school athletes from taking NIL money, though this may be less of an obstacle than it first appears. “He’s similar to Arch Manning, Bronny James and even Shaquille O’Neal’s sons in that way.” Unfortunately for Tiger, it wasn’t the only way he’s been outdone by his offspring: The 15-time major winner also recently admitted that while playing at home, Charlie had outdriven him on one hole.
For the third consecutive year, Tiger Woods and his son Charlie, 13, will pair at the PNC Championship, a 36-hole scramble contested Saturday and Sunday at Ritz ...

Team Woods selects Charlie's drive from the right side of the fairway. Tiger plays it safe with a controlled punch that settles safely on the green, 20 feet short of the hole. Charlie plays first on the 8-foot birdie attempt, and it tracks toward the hole but burns the edge. It drops in the middle for another Team Woods birdie, as Charlie raises his fist with approval. (Tiger didn't even hit a drive on this hole.) Charlie produces a one-handed follow through, as the ball lands in the fringe and settles on the front-right portion of the green, some 30 feet from the hole. Tiger doesn't miss a beat; the ball starts left and turns right toward the center of the cup.

Playing in the two-person scramble format, Team Thomas was featured in the final pairing of the day alongside Tiger and Charlie Woods.
While Tiger (and now Charlie) Woods' injuries have been well documented, John Daly is also playing hurt this week at the PNC Championship.
This is a modal window. GOLF’s James Colgan, who is on site at the PNC this week, reported Daly showed up at the range just 20 minutes before his first-round tee time. “I think just being able to play with my son like this and in a tournament like this, yeah, you want to win,” Daly said. A Pennsylvania native, Jack is 2020 graduate of Penn State University, earning degrees in broadcast journalism and political science. Woods is using a cart this week but said he would not do so for a regular PGA Tour event. The PNC Championship is sanctioned by the PGA Tour Champions, where carts are allowed. Those are the three injuries we’re hearing about the most this week at the PNC Championship, and strangely, only one of them belongs to Tiger Woods. “Two-man scrambles, we don’t get to do this much on Tour. “I pray for Tiger. Dad and two-time major winner John put off having his left knee replaced so he could play with son, University of Arkansas sophomore John II, this week. “It’s not helping my golf game by any means. It’s actually a big disadvantage.
Tiger Woods's son, Charlie, rolled his ankle on the driving range at the PNC Championship.
“Just kind of bad timing on it. The five-time Masters champion developed plantar fasciitis in his right foot, a condition that is connected to his pre-existing leg injuries. I asked him, he’s like, ah, it’s just a little bit wobbly at this point.” [similar mannerisms](https://www.si.com/golf/news/charlie-woods-tiger-similar-mannerisms-pnc-championship) between Tiger Woods and his 13-year-old son Charlie have been covered widely, but the father-son duo are taking their resemblances to the next level at the PNC Championship. “Yeah, I wouldn’t call it a sprain,” Begay said on Friday’s broadcast. “He just kind of rolled it.
Despite both members of Team Woods banged up, Tiger and Charlie provided plenty of highlights in Saturday's first round of the PNC Championship.

Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods had a slow start at the PNC Championship, but an epic stretch got them back in the tournament.
They went nine under in an eight-hole stretch — making seven birdies and the eagle — and turned in the best front-nine score of the tournament to jump into contention. At this point, dad finally welcomed son into his cart and the team gladly played from Tiger’s tee shot from 229 yards. Charlie contributed to the team’s first birdie on the second hole, knocking his approach shot stiff and cleaning up the putt, but the pair was unable to birdie the par-5 3rd and Charlie looked uncomfortable after his tee shot on the par-3 4th. The younger Woods nearly shanked his tee shot and fell to the ground in obvious pain. But perhaps it was the discomfort on the 5th tee that led to just another in the long list of mannerisms Charlie inherited from his father. It started with Tiger roasting his tee shot on the nearly 560-yard par-5 at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club.
Justin Thomas and his father, Mike Thomas, hold a two-stroke lead atop the leaderboard after the action on Saturday.
With just three pars on the scorecard, the 2020 winners are in a nice position to enter the winner's circle once again. Letting a chance slide by one the 17th, Team Thomas holds a one-stroke lead heading into the par-5 18th.

At just 13 years old, Charlie Woods' celebrity has taken over the PNC Championship, but that reality isn't all that it seems.
A 2019 graduate of Syracuse University, James — and evidently, his golf game — is still defrosting from four years in the snow. But even as a golf sensation, even as the child of another child superstar, and even as an enthusiastic participant in this weekend’s proceedings, he’s still a 13-year-old. “It’s been incredible over the years to be able to share this stage and this atmosphere with him.” Should Tiger and Charlie mount a Sunday comeback, the legend of the younger Woods will only grow, and so too will the attention upon him. “This is my treasure,” Earl said in 1996 of his own teenage prodigy. He is like Tiger in many ways, and his flair for the dramatic is certainly one of them. Even as the cameras and the crowds swarm, the relationship between Tiger and Charlie remains strikingly normal. Everything, all the good, all this, all this money we make out of golf, the lifestyle it’s given us, there’s always something you have to pay back, and sometimes it’s a lack of privacy, even for Paddy [his son] at times. It’s often odd to bear witness to the cult of celebrity, but particularly so when the subject of that celebrity is still three years away from receiving his driver’s license. (“We love you” was a frequent offering from the gallery, though it remained to be seen how, exactly, a 13-year-old with a whopping total of three public appearances had earned that love.) Some witnessed the scene and retreated to humor. [Charlie Woods](https://golf.com/news/charlie-woods-tees-pnc-championship/), the lookalike son of the greatest golfer of this generation, could not remain a secret forever. It has been impossible to track the number of folks who have tried to attract Charlie’s attention through two days in Orlando.
As Team Woods opened the PNC Championship in 13 under, Charlie played on a hurt ankle while also gaining new respect for his dad, Tiger.
