Moment Tiger Woods is savagely mocked by son Charlie, 15, after huge blunder during TGL debut

TIGER WOODS TGL debut didn't go to plan - much to his son's glee. Charlie, 15, treated a comical cock-up by the legend more like a dad joke than a dud stroke. Woods Senior and Northern Ireland superstar Rory McIlroy were the main drivers behind the new virtual event.
The league involves teams from six cities clashing over the golf season at the SoFi Center - a unique, high-tech venue at Palm Beach State College in Florida. Tiger, 49, played alongside Max Homa and Kevin Kisner for Jupiter Links. But Jupiter were left seeing stars as they were thumped 12-1 by Los Angeles, represented by Sahith Theegala, Collin Morikawa and Justin Rose.
Tiger's low moment came on just the second hole - a 582-yard, par-five monster. He smashed an approach shot from 101 yards out. But it soared over the green and into water, leaving the crowd of 1,500 gasping in shock. Tiger glared glumly down at the ground for a few seconds.
But as the cameras panned to the audience, there was a completely different response from Charlie. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS. Wearing a white baseball cap back to front, he grinned widely. He also opened his hand out in front of him, laughing and appearing to point at his dad.
At least Tiger was eventually able to see the funny side... albeit at the expense of a team-mate. Kisner was attempting to get out of a bunker on the penultimate hole in his singles match against Morikawa. But the 40-year-old from Carolina caught his shot too low on the club and pinged it straight into the flagstick.
