Tiger and Charlie Woods finish T8 at the PNC Championship.
Tiger Woods and his 13-year-old son, Charlie, donned their traditional red on Sunday at the PNC Championship, fired up to try to win a tournament together. The Willie Park belts awarded the champions each year – thick red leather surrounding a fancy gold medallion – would have accessorized nicely.
What lies ahead in 2023 for Woods? We’ll have to see. First, he will shut things down for a bit, hoping to get healthier. But as little as he was able to play in 2022 – nine official rounds – he achieved a goal just by getting to The 150th Open, staged on the Old Course at St. Andrews, his favorite golf course. Tiger, who turns 47 on Dec. 30, lamented Sunday he may not get to play another Open at St. Andrews.
“Well, it was a tough year, but also one of the more rewarding years I’ve had in a while,” Tiger said as he and Charlie prepared to head home Sunday evening.
For Team Woods, those champions’ red belts will have to wait for another year. Until then, they’ll settle for the lifetime memories.
Great father and son pair!!!
