Tiger Woods is continuing the family tradition at the PNC Championship, with his 17-year-old daughter Sam serving as his caddie for the second consecutive year at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando. While his son Charlie partners with him in the tournament, Sam's presence on the bag adds another family dimension to the event.

Sam's role as caddie comes after Tiger's split from long-time caddie Joe LaCava, who moved to work with Patrick Cantlay. Though Lance Bennett has since become Woods' full-time caddie, Sam's appearance at the PNC Championship represents a special family moment rather than a professional change.

The father-daughter dynamic adds a touching element to their relationship, particularly given Sam's previous involvement in Tiger's career, including introducing him at his World Golf Hall of Fame induction in 2022. However, unlike her brother Charlie, Sam doesn't share the same passion for playing golf. Tiger has noted this stems from golf "taking daddy away" during her childhood years.

The PNC Championship continues to serve as a unique platform where golf's legends can compete alongside family members, with Tiger Woods making the most of the opportunity to involve both his children in different capacities.
