Tiger Woods hilariously asked his son Charlie for a mid-match snack in the final group-stage game of TGL on Tuesday, March 4. The match was held between Woods' team Jupiter Links Golf Club and Atlanta Drive GC at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
In a clip shared by SportsCenter on X, amidst the game, the 15-time major champion could be seen moving towards a spectator seating area at the Jupiter Links section of the venue. He then asked his son Charlie for a mid-round snack. He said:
"Chicken fingers? Give me one. Just throw me one."
People around the spectator area could be seen laughing on hearing Woods' request.
Woods' team failed to win its final group stage match and couldn't advance to the playoffs. Jupiter Links lost the match by a 9-1 margin, their third consecutive defeat in TGL. Their only win came against Rory McIlroy's Boston Common Golf.
They lost in the triples format against Atlanta by 3-1 and in the singles format by 6-0.

Tiger Woods talks about the impact of TGL on younger fans
In the post-tournament press conference, Tiger Woods was asked how having Charlie watch the TGL was and how he saw the league influencing younger fans. Woods, the co-founder of the tech-infused league, said (via ASAP Sports):
"Well, I think, as I said, we were able to showcase the game in a different light. Everyone in today's day and age, their attention span is not very long. So I think that what we were able to do with the shot clock and the time and the pace of play, I think that is great for the game and it's great for the younger demographic."
"I think that we have so many different opportunities going forward with how this all turned out that the opportunities are endless. That's what's really neat. We can grow this bigger and better, and so many different options," he added.
Atlanta Drive GC will face The Bay Golf Club in playoffs on March 18. Whereas, New York Golf Club will face Los Angeles Golf Club on March 17.
