Essentials Inside The Story

  • Annika Sorenstam and Will McGee are taking part in the PNC Championship.
  • Sorenstam's husband recently shared a picture of McGee, featuring Tiger Woods.
  • Sorenstam is proud of McGee for a positive change that she has noticed.

The Woods family is not at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, this week. Tiger Woodsseventh lower back surgery has kept out of action for an extended period. As such, he and Charlie Woods won’t be playing the 2025 PNC Championship this year. Notably, Annika Sorenstam‘s son is going to miss them on the course.

The LPGA Tour legend’s husband, Mike McGee, posted a picture of their son, Will, practicing on the course. And he was seen wearing footwear from the big cat’s brand. As Mike tweeted, “Will wanted to wear @SunDayRed shoes in honor of @TigerWoods and Charlie at @PNCchampionship today. 😊❤️”

Will and Charlie share a budding friendship and are often seen conversing on the course during the PNC Championship. In fact, McGee, who is two years younger than Woods, also looks up to him. They share similar journeys in their golf career, trying to live up to the legendary status of their parents.

Just like his mother, Annika Sorenstam, McGee also wants to pursue a career in professional golf. He currently plays high school golf at Lake Highland Prep. The 14-year-old is widely considered a promising young talent for his age group. Having only joined the junior stage around the middle of 2025, McGee has already been on an impressive run. He has played just two AJGA-sanctioned events so far. Sorenstam’s son finished 44th in the Brandon Wu Championship in July 2025 and 40th in the Babygrande Stanford Junior All-Star in August.

He is currently ranked 1,832nd in the world by the American Junior Golf Association. With four more years to impress, McGee will have plenty of time to improve his rank and gain recognition before turning amateur.

That being said, Annika Sorenstam believes her son has grown significantly over the last year. And she expressed the same during a recent interview.

When Justin Thomas pulled Will McGee’s leg

Annika Sorenstam and Will McGee had joined SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio for an interview. The radio channel shared a clip of the same on their Instagram on December 17, 2025.

During the interview, McGee revealed how Justin Thomas threw a hilarious jab at him. He said, “I remember it was super windy that day. After the round, we went to go hit balls, and I see Justin Thomas walking by. It’s always cool to see a star like him walking by. He just came up, put a golf ball in my pocket, and told me to not fly away. He was making fun of me to put on weight and stuff.”

Initially, it was Sorenstam who encouraged her son to share the story. But she also came to his defense by stating how much he has grown since the incident. The LPGA Tour legend revealed that he has gained weight since then and also grown taller. Moreover, he is also more skilled with the clubs.

It’s a pity that we won’t get to see Will McGee lock horns with Charlie Woods at the 2025 PNC Championship. It would have been interesting to analyze their skills at the same event.
