Watching Charlie emulate Tiger Woods reminded that sports is about more than where one finishes

Team Woods was a mirror for all of us at the PNC Championship on Sunday
When Tiger Woods announced a few weeks ago that he and his 12-year-old son, Charlie, would play in the PNC Championship for the second consecutive year, the news was met with equal parts astonishment and joy.
Astonishment that this man who nearly lost a limb at the beginning of the year was ending it on the course in a real golf tournament: a family scramble with 15 different tee boxes to accommodate the 75-year age range, but a real golf tournament nonetheless. Joy over getting to run it back on what was one of the most delightful two-day stretches of 2020 when Tiger and mini-Tiger made a run at this hotel course in Orlando with a new (albeit silent), "Hello, world."
Their performance 12 months ago was as unexpected as it was enjoyable. From the outside looking in, it was golf utopia for parents: a father and a son enjoying 18 holes together while repeatedly scaring 60.
