Here are the backed-up tees Charlie Woods will play at the PNC

Seems like event organizers have been watching Charlie Woods swing movies, too.

On Wednesday, Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis reported that Tiger Woods’ 13-year-old son Charlie — who’s the elder Woods’ accomplice at this week’s PNC Championship — will be transferring again a tee field this 12 months. Now he’ll be only one tee field in entrance of Tiger and, in line with Lewis, will play a course that stretches to almost 6,600 yards.

The PNC is a 20-team event through which main champions play alongside members of the family in a two-day scramble. All kinds of ages and talents means they want completely different gamers teeing off from completely different locations. And whereas officers haven’t launched full particulars about tee packing containers for the event, we are able to glean some data from final 12 months’s setup, which consisted of 4 classes. Here’s how that regarded:

COURSE 1 (7,126 yards): Ages 16-54

COURSE 2 (6,576 yards): Ages 14-15, ages 55-73, plus LPGA professionals

COURSE 3 (6,036 yards): Ages 11-13

COURSE 4 (5,499 yards): Ages 73 and over

That implies that a 12 months in the past Charlie Woods and Karl Stenson (son of Henrik) — the occasion’s two youngest rivals — teed it up from simply greater than 6,000 yards. In Charlie’s case, that meant the potential to blast it nicely up the fairway, which proved useful to his injured father.

Charlie’s nonetheless simply 13, however event organizers look like transferring the objective posts (the tee packing containers, on this case) in an effort to maintain up with the teen’s big-time swing velocity. Charlie will be part of LPGA professionals and seniors at the 6,600-yard tees this 12 months, which implies he’ll be alongside the likes of John Daly, Nelly Korda and Vijay Singh.

That will make a very important distinction on the par-5s, which will play 510 yards (as an alternative of 465), 536 yards (as an alternative of 509), 544 yards (as an alternative of 470) and 527 yards (as an alternative of 475).

If that appears a bit outlandish, maybe PNC organizers have been watching final week’s Match, throughout which Tiger admitted that his son has now pushed it previous him.

“I hate to say it, but I’m going to admit it. He finally did it a few weeks ago,” Woods advised TV cameras at Pelican Golf Club. “I spun one, he tomahawked one and got me.”

Woods additionally admitted at the Hero World Challenge that he’s advised Charlie to emulate Rory McIlroy, arguably the finest driver on the planet.

With Team Stenson not enjoying this 12 months’s occasion, the youngest competitor is predicted to be Will McGee, Annika Sorenstam’s son. The 11-year-old acquired an opportunity to fulfill Woods at the Match.
