The younger Woods is making his fourth consecutive start at the PNC Championship, teaming up with his father, Tiger Woods. In all of their three previous starts, Team Woods finished in the Top 10.

This Saturday, Team Woods added a new "member" as Charlie Woods' sister Sam made her debut as a caddie for her father.


How are Charlie Woods and Tiger doing in the first round of PNC Championship?

Charlie and Tiger Woods teed off on hole 1 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at 8:22 a.m. The tee times were moved up to try to avoid the bad weather threatening Florida.

At the 13th hole, Charlie and Tiger Woods are in T13, with a transitional score of -5. So far they have had a bogey-free round but have managed only five birdies, thus failing to advance on the leaderboard. According to weather reports, the course is quite wet and windy, which has affected the play of Team Woods.

It has not been the same for other teams. With the round still to finish, Team Kuchar is in first place with an extraordinary score of 15-under 57. Matt and his son Cameron managed no less than 13 birdies and an eagle, without committing a single bogey.

Team Langer, Team O'Meara, Team Singh and Team Goosenhaving are also producing strong performances, all with scores of -10 or better. However, only the O'Meara's have already finished their first round.
