They're back! Over the weekend, Tiger Woods and son Charlie, 13, returned to Orlando for the annual PNC Championship, which sees famous golfers and their kids hitting the links together. Though the father-son pair didn't win, they made many memories — and as in years past, shocked viewers with their striking similarities (like this swing on practice day, pictured, Dec. 16).
"Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son, it's always special," Tiger told reporters, per ESPN. "And to do it in a competitive forum, the last couple of years have been magical, and to be able to do it again, we're looking forward to it."
Tiger and ex-wife Elin Nordegren are also parents to daughter Sam, 15.
Bump It Up

On Dec. 17, the Woodses celebrated a shot with a fist bump. Interestingly both were also battling injuries through the weekend: Tiger, plantar fasciitis and the continued recovery from his 2021 car accident, and Charlie, a rolled ankle.

Their "take five" pose is pretty in sync.
Walk About

Father and son — in matching outfits, as many of the family pairs were — were even in step.
Around the Bend

He got it from his dada.
Looking Ahead

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

Charlie — in the spotlight since infancy — is gaining height on Dad.
Putt Putt

Tiger and Charlie have eerily similar swings, likely from hours of practice done together.
Standing Still

Quietly swapping golf tips, no doubt.
Champion Charlie

Looking ahead, the similarities were clear.
Moving Along

And in profile, even clearer.
So Hip
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x0:751x2)/charlie-woods-tiger-woods-pnc-championships-121922-4-a52cae171e79410498be80a4b9fba2d6.jpg)
The "hand on hip, lean on club" is a Woods trademark.
Eyes to the Sky

Red has always been Tiger's power color.
All the Love

Despite the pair's position at the end, Tiger couldn't have been prouder of his son, he told reporters.
"You know, I don't really care about [plantar fasciitis]," Tiger said of his latest injury struggle. "I think being there with and alongside my son is far more important, and to have a chance to have this experience with him is far better than my foot being a little creaky."
