Tiger Woods and his teen son Charlie ended day one of the PNC Championship in a three-way tie for first with a score of 13 under 59.

Teams Langer and Singh, who both also carded 59, are locked in at equal scores with Team Woods, with the legendary golfing family managing five straight birdies down the stretch in Orlando, Florida.

The PNC event is Tiger’s first competition since surgery on his back in September; his sixth in 10 years.

Following the round, Tiger told reporters: “It’s a scramble, so we’re trying to pull off each and every shot for each other, and to ham-and-egg, and I think we did that great pretty much the entire day.

“Charlie made pretty much most of the putts today.”

Charlie added: “I didn’t hit it great, but Dad saved me on a couple of them and I rolled them in.”
