Tiger Woods is a proud father as he gets ready to compete alongside his son Charlie in an Orlando, FL golf tournament on Saturday.

Tiger, 47, and Charlie, 14, hit the golf course on Friday morning for a practice run while preparing for the PNC Championship’s Pro-Am event at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.

And in a video shared by the PGA Tour’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, the legendary golfer is seen admiring his son’s skills during their morning practice.

After Charlie’s impressive shot, Tiger decided the duo would end their warmup round on a high note.

“We’re ending on that one right there. That was f—ing nasty,” Tiger said in the video.

According to Golf Digest, Tiger couldn’t stop smiling while practicing with his son, who he welcomed with ex-wife Elin Nordegren in 2009, and the duo enjoyed catching up with some of the golfer’s old friends on the course during their morning outing.

The outlet reported that Tiger exchanged “bear hugs” with Annika Sorenstam, Steve Stricker and Mark O’Meara while out with Charlie, and the group’s spirits were high during the reunions.

Charlie and Tiger will face Justin Thomas and his father Mike in the first two rounds of the tournament, teeing off at 8:22 a.m. on Saturday in Orlando, Florida.

This will mark the fourth year Charlie and Tiger have faced the Thomases, and in 2021, Tiger said the two father-son duos “have become so close that I think Charlie’s like Justin’s little brother he never had,” in an interview with the PGA.

“And Justin has become the little brother I never had,” Woods added at the time.

And when Justin and Mike won the competition in 2020, they enjoyed a petty victory lap over Charlie and Tiger. According to the PGA, the Thomases wore their victory belts over to Tiger’s home for Christmas dinner.

“We enjoyed that,” Justin said at the time, per the PGA. “Until they get that belt and we don’t, I know that we have the forever bragging rights for the time being.”

In November, Charlie competed in his first-ever high school state golf tournament, and helped lead the Palm Beach Gardens team to their fourth state title.

After a competition earlier this year in which Tiger served as a caddy for his son, Charlie said in a post round interview that it was “great” to have his father supporting him on the golf course.

“We just stay in our own little world,” he said about his dad joining him.

“We take it one shot at a time,” Charlie continued, adding that his dad “puts me in my place” from time to time. “I’ll talk about the next tee shot and he’s like, ‘No. This is the shot we’re going to focus on. Focus up. This is what we’re gonna do.’ ”
