[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The 'resurrected golf emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) will take the field with his 11-year-old son Charlie.

The PGA Tour announced on the 20th (Korean time) that "the Woods family will participate in the PNC Championship (total prize money $1,085,000) held on the 18th of next month at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, USA." This event features 20 major tournament and The Players Championship winners paired with their children, grandchildren, or parents. This is Woods' first time participating in this tournament, which started in 1995.

Woods said, "I can't express how excited I am to compete in an official tournament with Charlie for the first time," adding, "Watching Charlie grow as a junior golfer and teaming up to play golf together at the PNC Championship is an amazing experience." Charlie was born in 2009 to Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren (Sweden). Woods divorced in August 2010 following a 'sex scandal.'

Charlie is active on the junior circuit, having won two consecutive victories in the 9-hole circuit for ages 9-11 held this year in Florida. Besides the Woods family, John Daly, Jim Furyk, and Matt Kuchar (all USA) will also play with their sons. Gary Player (South Africa) will team up with his grandson, while Annika Sorenstam (Sweden) and Justin Thomas (USA) will team up with their fathers. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the event will be held over two days without spectators.
