All eyes will be back on Tiger and Charlie Woods at this week's PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. 'The last couple years have been magical. And to be able to do it again, we’re looking forward to it,' Tiger said.
When Tiger was running roughshod over the competition, capturing 15 majors and 82 PGA Tours titles and owning the No. 1 ranking seemingly in perpetuity, he never really let us in. He was loved and respected for his otherworldly abilities but never beloved in the way that Arnold Palmer was forever approachable. Tiger always kept everyone at arms-length.
All eyes again return to Tiger and Charlie this week at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club for the two-day 36-hole team event that uses a two-person Scramble format. The pent-up demand to see Tiger is evident in a tournament sell out. Grown men dressed in their red golf shirts and black pants and some even showed up in Tiger onesies. As much as there is intrigue over Tiger’s game, this week he takes a backseat to Charlie. He’s the main attraction. Padraig Harrington said it best when asked whether he would be watching Tiger or Charlie: “Charlie. Charlie. Actually, to be honest, definitely Charlie, Charlie, Charlie…I’m more interested in Charlie.
“Is Charlie carrying it 260 or 290?” Shawn Spieth wondered. “Everybody wants to know which one it is.”“Most kids who are good at 11, 12, 13 years of age, their swing hasn’t even come close to developing,” Harrington said. “I bet you if you went back and looked at Rory at 12 years of age, he was hitting a big loopy, drop kick [draw] because that’s what kids do. But Charlie has always managed to pressure the golf ball, which is exceptional at that age. It really is.
