Traffic delayed their Sunday morning arrival, and Woods had already gone into his tunnel-vision warmup routine by the time they got there.
“The first time I saw them was 7,” Woods said. “I hit one stiff in there to about two feet. And I hit the putt, go up the hill and I look left and I see Charlie jumping up and down — so I’m like, ‘Okay, good, at least they made it.’ And that was the last time I saw them until 18 green.”
Woods acknowledged the significance of that moment behind 18.
“To have them there was so special because to us in our family, Augusta has meant so much to our family. My dad was there when I won my first one, my mom has been there for each and every one. So to be able to share it with the next generation, to share it with my kids is just surreal, to be honest.”
Woods also revealed that his kids aren’t necessarily looking to follow in his footsteps, though. Sam is an avid soccer player, and Despite Charlie’s natural talent for the game, Woods said golf isn’t his top priority, either.
“He’d much rather play soccer,” Woods said.
