Charlie Woods, the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods, is catching the attention as he becomes the youngest player to ever compete at the PNC Championship.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Padraig Harrington is playing in the PNC Championship for the third time and loves the idea of bonding with his son, Patrick, and exposing him to the game he has excelled at as a pro. He also enjoys checking out the various golf swings of legends and amateurs alike. Three caught his eye this week: Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Charlie Woods. Yes, that’s two 80-something Hall of Famers and the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods, who is the youngest player to ever compete in the event that begins Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort. “What I do find interesting: I think Tiger turned pro slightly before me or around the same time as me,” Harrington said Friday after a pro-am round. “This is the first tournament I’ve ever played in that Tiger Woods is playing in that he’s not the star of the show. “He should note that himself. He ain’t the star of the show this week. And that’s very much among the players and the pros. We’re all going down the range, and everybody is stopping to watch Charlie.
