[Sport] Seeing double: Tiger Woods and son Charlie tee off in perfect symmetry wearing famous Sunday red

It might be a rare sighting these days, but golf fans have long grown accustomed to watching Tiger Woods wear red on Sundays.

But at the PNC Championship, onlookers were seeing double. For the final round of the annual event in Orlando, Tiger and son Charlie teed off in perfect symmetry.

At 13-years-old, his father has won two more majors than he has had birthdays, but Charlie impressed throughout at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, his tee approach and swing drawing inevitable, yet eerily accurate, comparisons to that of his playing partner.

The pair finished tied for eighth in a star-studded 20-player field, with only players to have won a major championship or The Players Championship invited to play with their relatives. After finishing as runners-up last year, the Woods’s finished six shots behind Fiji’s three-time major champion Vijay Singh and his son Qass Singh.

Beyond matching outfits, the duo also coordinated in playing through pain. Woods, featuring in just his second event since his emotional St. Andrews outing at The Open in July, was managing plantar fasciitis, pain in the bottom of his foot, while Charlie admitted to struggling with an ankle injury sustained by rolling it during a practice round.

Injury has been the story of Woods’ recent career, his playing time decimated since he suffered serious leg injuries in a car accident in February 2021. The 46-year-old withdrew from the Hero World Challenge earlier this month citing his foot pain, and at various points had looked to be struggling with movement during the seventh edition of The Match last week.

“It was a tough year but also one of the more rewarding years I’ve had in a while,” Woods told reporters Sunday.

“I don’t know if I ever get back to playing St Andrews in a British Open, but to be able to experience that maybe one last time at this level was very special to me.”
