Tiger Woods provides classic reaction to son Charlie's 'f****** nasty' shot
Tiger Woods could hardly hide his pride after son Charlie showed he is a chip off the old block with a perfectly executed flop shot during a warm-up at the 2023 PNC Championship.
The father-son duo are among the big names that have descended on the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando to take part in the latest edition of the 36-hole team tournament. Woods was appearing with his 14-year-old son for a fourth time and they wasted no time in getting re-acquainted with the course.

The youngster's technique was reminiscent of his dad at his best, as the teenager took a full backswing and effortlessly executed a perfect flop shot.
"The ending on that right there, that was nasty. F****** nasty," Tiger said approvingly, before proceeding to clap slowly at his son - much to his delight. Likewise, young Charlie's joy at impressing his 15-time Major champion dad was palpable and he turned towards his dad while sporting a grin.

Charlie Woods and his father Tiger Woods showed their closeness at the PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club"They're all smiles. Tiger is definitely teaching him the right techniques, but there's not the intensity that Earl had with him. It's a total bonding situation. Tiger can get goofy and funny with Charlie. It's not 'all work and no play' like Earl could sometimes get."
Tiger himself admitted that he relishes the opportunity to compete alongside his son in events such as the PNC Championship, telling ESPN. "Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son, it's always special and to do it in a competitive forum, the last couple of years have been magical, and to be able to do it again, we're looking forward to it."
After Tiger caddied for Charlie at the Last Chance Regional in Florida in September 2023, the former also opened up on the joy he derives from spending time with his son on the course, adding: "We just stay in our own little world. We take it one shot at a time."
