1. Will McGee interviewing Charlie Woods and his friendship with Woods Sr.: Although Woods Sr. had prevented Charlie Woods from the cameras and giving the press conference interview at the PNC Championship, the 14-year-old still managed to answer the question by Annika Sorenstam’s son, Will McGee.

The 12-year-old asked Charlie Woods on SiriusXM if he always listened to his father. McGee asked, “My mom was wondering because she gives me advice on my swing, but I don’t listen often. … Do you listen to your dad on swing tips?” To which Woods Jr. replied, “It doesn’t happen very often,” but only when he is “desperate”.

Moreover, McGee also shared an adorable moment with Woods. When McGee expressed his nervousness felt when playing at Tee 1, Woods replied by saying. “You should be… it means you care.” Additionally, when Sorenstam came to check on McGee and asked if he was listening to Woods, the legendary golfer said, “Other way around, I’m listening to him.”

Right after Woods Jr. took the practice shot, the 82X PGA Tour champion complimented him by saying, “We’re ending on that right there; that was nasty!The Woods was proud of his son’s shots so much so that he put down his club and started walking away as a gesture showing that he can’t hit better than that.

3. Witnessing Woods walking without struggling: Since his withdrawal from the 2023 Masters in April and surgery thereafter, Woods was making the news, as he was seen struggling while walking and usually was limping. However, in recent times the 82x PGA Tour champ has shown tremendous recovery and could be seen walking normally.
