Tiger Woods’ Daughter Sam Caddied For Her Dad For First Time

Tiger Woods recently introduced a new face to his golfing team during the PNC Championship in Orlando – none other than his 16-year-old daughter, Sam, who made her debut as his caddie. Despite it being her first time in the role, Woods expressed pride in Sam’s performance, emphasizing the special significance of the moment for the entire family.

Reflecting on the experience, Woods shared his enthusiasm, saying, “Sam was fantastic. This is the first time she’s ever done this, so it couldn’t have been any more special for all of us.” The golfing legend further underscored the family aspect of the event, with his 14-year-old son, Charlie, actively participating in the competition alongside his father. Team Woods concluded the first round at an impressive 8-under-par.

Golf has long been a cherished family activity for the Woods, and this tournament marked a unique opportunity for both children to be directly involved. Woods expressed his joy at having his kids actively engaged in the sport, stating, “For me to have both 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.”

The familial connection in golf is not exclusive to the Woods. The Players Championship saw Scottie Scheffler’s 88-year-old grandmother, Mary, walking the entire course to witness her grandson’s victory. Additionally, The Masters Tournament has its own tradition of family involvement, with the pre-tournament Par 3 contest where family members and loved ones step in as caddies.

Woods acknowledged that the family’s banter and camaraderie in golf are not limited to professional events, saying, “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.” The heartfelt experience at the PNC Championship suggests that this might just be the beginning of more golfing adventures for the Woods’ children.
