Tiger Woods and his son Charlie shared the lead at the PNC Championship after the first day in Orlando. They ended the opening round with a score of 13 under, matching last year's champions Bernhard Langer and his son Jason, as well as 2022 winners Vijay Singh and his son Qass. This marks Woods' return to competition since The Open in July, following back surgery in September.

The father-son duo managed an impressive series of shots, including five consecutive birdies on the back line. This performance allowed them to share the lead for the first time. Last year, they finished fifth, having secured second place in 2021. Woods is competing in this event for the fifth year running.

Reflecting on their performance, Woods commented, "It's a scramble, so we're trying to pull off each and every shot for each other. I think we did that great pretty much the entire day." He praised Charlie's putting skills, noting that his son made most of the putts during their round.

The PNC Championship is a 36-hole exhibition tournament featuring players who have won a major or The Players Championship alongside a family member. The event concludes on Sunday.

This tournament provides a unique opportunity for professional golfers to compete alongside family members. It showcases not only skill but also familial bonds on the course. As the competition progresses, fans eagerly await to see if Team Woods can maintain their strong start and potentially secure victory.
