Tiger Woods analyses Charlie's "PERFECT BACKSWING" at PNC Championship
During the Pro-Am on Friday at the PNC Championship, Tiger Woods recorded his son swinging his driver and the pair analysed it together on the tee box.
Nowadays, we are seeing a version of Tiger Woods on the golf course that we have never seen before.
He has evolved from the superstar who dropped birdies for fun and thrilled adoring crowds to being a father and guiding his 13-year-old son to achieve his own goals.
After the Pro-Am on Friday at the PNC Championship, Woods spoke passionately and emotionally about playing with Charlie. He admitted his foot is at risk of more injury aggravation, but this week with his son was unmissable.
We saw the strength of their bond both on and off the golf course last year. The pair rallied in the second round at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, making 11 birdies in a row to finish second behind John Daly and his son John II.
Charlie has grown since then, in height and golf ability, and we caught a glimpse of how his father helps his game and analyses his swing.

After the young protege let loose with one driver, Woods filmed his swing from behind. Afterwards, the duo took a look at the footage and Woods was full of praise and critique.
"I mean look at this, it's a perfect, perfect backswing," Tiger said. "Really?" Charlie replied.
"Yes. So that's the feel and then obviously this is different. That's almost on top of it. You've never been there." Take a look at the video above to gain the full benefit of the tutorial.
In his press conference yesterday, Woods couldn't say when he would play in 2023 on the PGA Tour. He still "can't get from point A to point B," and he admitted he should be letting his right foot heal instead of playing golf.
A case of plantar fasciitis ruled him out of the Hero World Challenge earlier this month. You would imagine that his aim is to play at The Masters in April. He made the cut in 2022 which began a run of events that he didn't expect to play in.
"I played more this year than I certainly thought (I would) at the beginning of the year. I was just hoping just to play the British Open at St Andrews, but I got the chance to play in three major championships," Wood said.
"That's far more than what I had expected going into the year, so it's been positive - not yet (knowing where/when he'll play in 2023). If I didn't have this plantar (fasciitis) then yes, I could tell you that, I'd have a better idea."
