Charlie Woods laughs as father Tiger Woods finds the water during TGL match
Charlie Woods saw the funny side as his father Tiger Woods found the water on the par-5 2nd during the second TGL match of the season.
Charlie Woods was spotted laughing in the crowd as his father Tiger Woods found the water with a 101-yard shot into the par-5 2nd during his TGL match on Tuesday night.
It was a TGL debut to forget for Woods' team as they slumped to a disastrous 12-1 loss at the hands of Los Angeles GC.
Woods, 49, is the team captain of Jupiter Links GC, which comprises Max Homa, Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim.
The rank outsiders to win TGL were taking on Los Angeles GC in the second match of the season on Tuesday 14 January.
LA GC consists of Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood.

Tiger Woods finds the water as Charlie Woods chuckles away in the crowd
After a tie at the 1st hole with pars, the teams had something of a mare at the water-filled par-5 2nd called 'Pick Yer Plunder'.
It was a monstrous 590-yard hole.
Both teams found the water with their second shots.
Woods then took the team's drop to play their fourth shot and he sailed his 101-yard wedge shot over the back of the green and into the water.
Tiger looked down at the ground in disbelief, stunned his wedge shot could have possibly travelled 10 yards further than expected.
The camera then panned to his son Charlie Woods, 15, who had a smile on his face and gestured as if to say: "What's going on Dad?!"
"That's adrenaline for you," declared the commentator during the ESPN broadcast.

LA GC then stretched into a 3-0 lead after Rose drained a 10-footer worth two points having dropped the team's hammer (which doubles a point on each hole).
Woods' team then went 5-0 down by the 3rd hole. That was after Jupiter Links dropped their own hammer, only for Kisner to inexplicably find the water. It led to a loss of hole and another two points for LA GC.
Jupiter Links GC finally got their first point on the board at the 6th after Theegala found the penalty area and Woods converted a 10-footer.
Woods' mother Tida raised her arm aloft in the crowd as she watched her son pour in the putt.

But Woods' team were soon facing a five-point deficit once again after the par-4 8th when Rose poured in another putt from 14 feet to win the hole.
That then quickly became a commanding 8-1 lead for LA GC by the 9th hole.
LA GC played their second hammer in the triples contest and they won the hole to secure another two points after Woods missed an eight-footer to tie the hole.
As things were quickly turning sour for Jupiter Links GC, Kisner turned to Charlie in the crowd and asked him if he wanted to play instead.
Of course that wasn't allowed to happen, but Kisner, Homa and Woods were no doubt thinking it probably wasn't the worst idea.

As the match turned to singles, it soon became 9-1 when Morikawa defeated Kisner on the 11th.
Woods then drove into water in his singles match with Rose on the 13th and that led to another loss of hole and a 10-1 scoreline.
Kisner then bladed a bunker shot over the other side of the green on the par-3 14th and Morikawa made par to make it 11-1.
"We might not break 100," said Woods as he played the 15th and final hole of the match.
LA GC went on to win the 15th to seal a dominant 12-1 victory.
