Golf: Tiger Woods' girlfriend Erica Herman, ex-wife Elin Nordegren get together at golf tournament

In what you'd think would be an awkward union, Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren and his girlfriend Erica Herman got together at the PNC Championship to watch the golf legend play in a special tournament with his 11-year-old son Charlie.

The youngster has created plenty of headline with his efforts in Orlando, showing eerily similar attributes to his father with a club in hand.

Charlie has mimicked his dad's mannerisms — including Tiger's famous club twirl — and is not short on skill either. He was blowing people's minds on the course, playing some remarkable shots as he and his iconic father finished seventh in the father-son event.

It was a family affair in Florida as Tiger's ex-wife Nordegren joined 13-year-old daughter Sam and the golfer's current partner Herman to watch the action.

At least once all three could be seen standing together in a group as they showed their support for Charlie and Tiger.

It's reportedly the first time Nordegren has been spotted publicly at a tournament Tiger was playing in since the 2009 Presidents Cup.

Tiger and Nordegren married in 2004, and had Charlie and Sam together, before they divorced when his cheating was exposed, the golfer alleged to have slept with more than 100 women while in a relationship with the Swedish model.

Nordegren famously chased the American megastar out of their house with a golf club in late 2009 when she found confirmation through text messages from other women on his phone, and he crashed his car into a tree.

Tiger and Nordegren got divorced in 2010 but are still in contact as they co-parent their children.

Tiger's friend and Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay III told Golf.com at the PNC Championship: "It's been incredible. You never know how a parent separation is going to affect the kids and both Tiger and Elin have made it such a huge priority to protect the interests of their kids and their privacy.

"Tiger talked about it yesterday in his post-round comments, making sure he takes the brunt of the media requests here, trying to make sure that both Sam and Charlie, from both Elin and Tiger, have a nice quality childhood like anybody else out there.

"I talked about Tiger being at all those soccer games and youth activities — well, Elin's right there and right next to them. Co-parenting is a difficult task, and they've really done a wonderful job for their kids."

Tiger and Herman became official as a couple in 2017. She supported him in court when he was pinged for driving under the influence that year and was by his side when the 44-year-old recorded an incredible win at the 2019 Masters — his first major title in 11 years.

Meanwhile, Tiger admitted Charlie "pretty much carried me" as they shot back-to-back rounds of 62 at the PNC Championship to finish seventh, and was clearly moved by the chance to share the experience with his son.

"I don't think words can describe it," Woods said after the event. "Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, it's memories for a lifetime.

"I'm proud of how he handled everything.

"It was incredibly special for us to have the opportunity to spend this quality time together, and they are memories Charlie and I will have for our entire lives."
