Tiger Woods, Matt Kuchar watch sons at Junior Orange Bowl

CORAL GABLES — The 62nd annual Junior Orange Bowl kicked off on Saturday, Jan. 3, featuring 48 boys golfers and 36 girls golfers in an international event at the Biltmore Golf Course.

In attendance were not only a few well-known competitors, but also their even more famous parents, including pro golf legend Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, who were present in the gallery supporting son Charlie Woods.

Also there was PGA Tour veteran Matt Kuchar, fresh off of his PNC Championship victory alongside son Matt Kuchar, who is competing in the event as well.
