In an interview with the Golf Channel from December 2023, Tiger expressed his pride in his daughter, saying, "Sam was fantastic.

The then-47-year-old golfer further mentioned, "And I know that we do this a lot at home, needle each other, and have a great time. But it was more special doing it in a tournament like this."
Charlie shared his insights into playing alongside his father, offering a glimpse into their playful dynamic. "His reads are a hook bias. I don't hook as much as he does. So all my putts are missed right. I take account for that," the youngster said with a smile.

When asked about his progress as a young golfer, Charlie acknowledged his recent improvement. "A lot. I mean, I think by the beginning of this year, I was averaging right around 114. I'm right in the 120s now," he shared when discussing the speed he has gained in his game.

When asked about the bond he shares with Charlie, Tiger remarked, "I have always loved practicing. I have a lot more fun doing it with him. We have so much fun at home practicing and playing and playing games. It's a special bonding that happens that, you know, not a lot of parents get a chance to have."

For Charlie, the admiration for his father goes beyond the golf course. "His persistence and how he keeps coming back after his back, which I was kind of too young to see. And now with the leg. Now, I can experience it with him more. I have kind of learned how hard it is to come back from an injury. I thought that was pretty cool," he said.

Reflecting on Charlie's growth in the game, Tiger added, "On the hole previous, he made his first eagle (in a previous PNC), and now he just made his first hole-in-one. It's a magical two-hole stretch. I'm just so happy for him and for the enjoyment we had as a family."
Acknowledging that he is not in peak physical shape for competitive play, Tiger Woods emphasized his value as a dependable teammate in scramble-style golf, where players contribute their best shots collectively.

He expressed that the tournament's greatest reward was the opportunity to partner with his son and share such meaningful moments on the course.
Team Woods tied for the first-round lead at 13-under 59 alongside Team Langer (Bernhard and Jason Langer) and Team Singh (Vijay and Qass Singh), setting the stage for a thrilling finale. In the playoff, Team Langer clinched the title with a precise approach shot and an 18-foot eagle putt.
Team Woods finished as runners-up, marking their second top-two finish at the PNC Championship. Their previous best performance came in 2021, when they placed second, two strokes behind John Daly and his son, John Daly II.
Following Team Langer's championship, Bernhard expressed confidence in Team Woods' future success, "I'm convinced they are going to win this thing in the next few years. They are just too good."
While Tiger remains a dominant figure in golf, the legendary athlete acknowledged in a December 21 Golf Channel interview that he once lost to his son during a game of golf. "Yeah, he beat me for nine holes. Yet to beat me for 18 holes. That day is coming. I'm just prolonging it as long as I possibly can," Tiger admitted.
As the son of one of the most famous golfers in history, Charlie faces significant expectations. Tiger, however, offers his son simple advice. "You know, Charlie is Charlie. Yes, he's my son. He's going to have that last name as part of the sport, but I just want him to be himself," he said.
The doting dad continued, "That's what we've been [and] we will always focus on. I will always encourage it, for him to carve his own name, carve his own path, and have his own journey."

When asked how Charlie is handling the pressures of the spotlight, Tiger expressed confidence in his son's resilience, "I think he is doing a great job." He explained that Charlie faces unique challenges as part of a generation constantly under the scrutiny of social media, where people are frequently recorded and observed.
Tiger acknowledged that this visibility is a reality Charlie must navigate as he grows, both as a golfer and as a person. "I try to do the best job I possibly can as a parent," Tiger said. "I'm always here for him."
