The exes, who are rarely seen in public together, were both on hand to watch their 16-year-old son compete in the 62nd Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship at the historic Biltmore in Miami.
Charlie is currently ranked No. 13 in the American Junior Golf Association standings and is coming off the best season of his career. After two days of competing at the Junior Orange Bowl, Charlie sat at three-over par for the tournament and sitting at T22. The golf championship will run through Tuesday when a winner will be crowned.
For the weekend match, Tiger, 50, donned khaki pants and a white polo shirt, while Elin was dressed down in a white quarter zip top, black leggings and sneakers.
Charlie had a close call during the match when a recovery shot at the 11th hole ricocheted back toward him, nearly hitting him in the face. The 16-year-old was forced to duck and covered his face during the close call, which prompted audible gasps in the crowed.

Luckily, he wasn’t hit and the close call didn’t rattle him.

Tiger reacted when Charlie was nearly struck in the face
According to “GolfMagic,” Tiger made light of the moment and yelled to his son, “H— of a shot,” before the father-son duo started laughing on the green. No word on how Elin reacted.
However, she was spotted walking alongside Tiger to watch Charlie during the match.
Woods and Elin have been divorced for more than 15 years. The former couple met in 2001 and were engaged two years later.
