Quick Glance: Tiger Woods' Daughter Sam, 16, Makes Caddy Debut

For the first time, Tiger Woods employed his daughter, Sam, as his caddy during the PNC Championship’s Pro-Am event in Orlando, Florida.

The tournament was a true family affair as Woods also played alongside his son, Charlie.

While both Sam and Charlie have been 'kid caddies' for their dad in the past, Saturday marked the first time Sam officially caddied for her father for an entire tournament.

Both children have supported their dad at various golf tournaments over the years, and Sam even spoke during Tiger’s induction ceremony into the World Golf Hall of Fame last March.
