A real family affair: Tiger Woods heads out onto the golf course in Orlando alongside son Charlie, 14, for their first round at the PNC Championship... and daughter Sam, 16, is carrying his bag!

Tiger Woods headed out onto the golf course in Orlando with his son and daughter in tow on Saturday, turning the first round of the PNC Championship into a real family affair.

Tiger and Charlie, 14, were once again paired up for the tournament, playing alongside two-time major winner Justin Thomas and his father Mike, but there was an additional Woods in tow this time with daughter Sam, 16, caddying for her dad.

It is the first time Sam has been on the bag for her father, and she beamed with pride as she watched him - and her brother - play together. 

At the end of the first round, the Woods team headed to the clubhouse on eight-under-par, a score good enough for 11th out of 20 on the leaderboard.

Although they played well, it will be a big ask for Tiger and Charlie to catch up with Team Kuchar at the top of the leaderboard, after their -15 opening round in Orlando. 

Speaking after the round, Charlie was full of praise for most of he and his dad's game - except for one element.

'I drove the ball really good today,' he told reporters. 'Didn't miss a fairway, and still managed to shoot 8-under. We just suck at putting.'

Tiger, chuckling alongside his son, replied: 'That sums it up right there.' 

The PNC Championship is famously one of the most light-hearted events on the calendar, with big names joined by their spouses, children or parents for a two-day tournament in Florida.

And Woods, seemingly almost back to full fitness after multiple surgeries, made the most of the opportunity by bringing both of his kids - who he had with ex-wife Elin Nordegren before their divorce in 2010. 

The PNC Championship includes a star-studded field of 20 major champions, but the Woods were once again the main attraction, with fans packing out the first tee to see the pair tee off shortly after 8am local time.

Both of their drives were striped straight down the middle, with son Charlie showing off his impressive length as his game continues to improve. 

Sam's presence on the course on Saturday was first spotted on the range, as she watched her dad practice before their round.

In a clip posted to social media, the doting daughter can be seen staring at her dad while he plays a shot, before he wiped sweat from his face using a towel on his bag.

During the first few holes on the course, Charlie and Sam were spotted chatting at the side of the green while Tiger putted out, with Charlie even jokingly shushing his sister while their dad played his shot.
