Tiger Woods’ daughter Sam serves as his caddie for first time

(ORLANDO, Fla.) — The PNC Championship was a family event for Tiger Woods and his kids this year.

The golf legend took part in the tournament in Orlando, Florida, over the weekend and was accompanied by both of his children. The event on Saturday saw Woods competing with his son Charlie, 14, while his daughter Sam, 16, served as his caddie for the first time.

The PGA Tour posted a video on Instagram showing a sweet moment between the father-daughter duo on the course, captioning the post: “For the first time, Sam Woods is caddying for her father today ❤️.”

The weekend also marks the fourth year Tiger and Charlie Woods are competing against golfer Justin Thomas and his father Mike.

“I drove the ball really good today,” Charlie Woods said during a post-competition interview. “Didn’t miss a fairway and still managed to shoot eight under. We just suck at putting.”

Supporting his son’s statement with a smile, Tiger Woods added, “That sums it up right there.”

The athlete also gushed over the participation of his daughter in the championship as his caddie, saying, “Sam was fantastic.”

“This is the first time she’s ever done this, so it couldn’t have been any more special for all of us,” he said, according to Golfweek.

“For me to have both my kids inside the ropes like this and participating and playing and being part of the game of golf like this, it couldn’t have been more special for me, and I know that we do this a lot at home, needle each other and have a great time,” he said. “But it was more special to do it in a tournament like this.”

Tiger Woods has caddied for his son in the past and has previously said he doesn’t formally coach Charlie in golf in order to minimize any pressure his son might feel. Tiger Woods shares both Sam and Charlie with ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

(NEW YORK) — NFL owners will vote Wednesday to award Super Bowl LXI to Los Angeles, per league sources.

The vote will be taken at the league meetings in Dallas, Texas, with the Super Bowl set to return to Los Angeles in 2027.

The game will be televised by ESPN and ABC. It will be ESPN’s first Super Bowl telecast and ABC’s first telecast of the game since Super Bowl XL in February, 2006.

The league and the teams’ events committee evolved its Super Bowl selection process five years ago to focus on one city as the potential host.

The NFL has chosen the venue that was used to host Super Bowl LVI and the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship, cementing the league’s lineup for the next four years:

    -Super Bowl LVIII, Feb. 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas
    -Super Bowl LIX, Feb. 9, 2025, at the Superdome in New Orleans
    -Super Bowl LX, Feb. 8, 2026, at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, California
    -Super Bowl LXI, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles

The league will sandwich the Super Bowl between the World Cup in 2026, when Los Angeles will be one of 16 North American host cities, and the Olympic Games in the summer of 2028, giving Los Angeles a tripleheader of mega sporting events that will make it one of the sports capitals of the world.

The league had considered Los Angeles for an earlier Super Bowl but because of its sports congestion and commitment to host other events, pushed it off until 2027.

Back in February 2022, before Los Angeles hosted its last Super Bowl, when Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts discussed the game, he predicted that there will “many coming,” adding “SoFi Stadium is now the site of the world’s most hyped sports championships, concerts and other performances, setting the standard for what a top tier venue should be.”
