Tiger Woods’s children were not there at the Genesis Invitational Open. But someone else from his bloodline was! An unexpected member of his family had come to support him at the Riviera Country Club. It was none other than his half-niece, Cheyenne Woods. While Cheyenne Woods had visited Woods for the Pro-Am, she did not come alone.

At the Riviera CC, Woods’s niece had brought her first child, Cameron, with her. And the little man, while enjoying his time at the Pro-Am, had made a quite special request for his great uncle for the 2025 Genesis Invitational Pro-Am.

It has been six years since Tiger Woods first hosted the Genesis Invitational. He is the one who is responsible for everything that goes into maintaining the event from start to finish, whether it is the Pro-Am or final rounds. As the host, his family has a special request for him!

While visiting Woods at the Pro-Am, Cheyenne Woods’s son, Cameron Hicks, played a shot or two himself. She shared glimpses where Hick made perfect contact with the ball. Talking about Cameron’s skills, she mentioned, “He’s requesting his own pro-am spot for next year, though.” Great Uncle will probably give in to the cutest request made on behalf of his little nephew.
