If the highlight of last month’s PNC Championship was 11-year-old Charlie Woods, son of 15-time major champion Tiger, the endearing sideshow was the feisty banter between the younger Woods and Justin Thomas.

Thomas and Charlie Woods have an ongoing rivalry that includes regular putting competitions and at the PNC Championship, where Thomas was teamed with his father, Mike, that rivalry was intensified by the Thomas’ victory.

Asked Wednesday at the Sentry Tournament of Champions if he’d had a chance to show off his champion’s belt for winning the team event to Tiger and his son, Thomas smiled and said, “We had dinner with him around the holidays and we both wore our belts over there.”

The humble brag went over well with the hosts and Thomas said Tiger and Charlie Woods were not surprised that the good-natured trash talking continues between the two families.

“We would expect them to do the same thing. Charlie just kind of laughed when he saw us and Tiger just said, you know, well done, well played,” Thomas said. “It was all in good fun. But they fully expected it, I think.”

Thomas has become one of Woods’ closest friends, so he’s also gotten to know Woods’ kids well, too. In the lead-up to the event he joked taking on Tiger and 11-year-old Charlie was “going to be our fifth major.”

“For some reason, Charlie just always wants to beat me, it doesn’t matter what it is. Although he’s never beaten me in golf or a putting contest, he still talks trash just like his dad,” Thomas joked at the Mayakoba in early December. “It will be fun. We’ll have that like inner tournament within a tournament, trying to shut his little mouth up, but it will be fun.”

The PNC turned out to be a good one, too. Team Thomas won with a final-round 57, with Team Woods finishing seventh, five back. Charlie’s strong play and Tiger-like swagger captured many headlines. He also had one of the most memorable moments of the week, which also involved Thomas. During the competition, Thomas found the right fairway bunker on the par-4 13th hole. When he got up to his ball, there was a note under it left by Charlie that said “Draw hole!” Apparently Thomas’ dad jokingly left the note for Charlie earlier in the week when he didn’t turn the ball over when he should have.

“He was smart enough to keep the note and use it in the same situation,” Thomas said. “So it was very well played. It was very smart for a kid his age.”
