Tiger Woods is back on the golf course... as a caddy.

The 15-time major winner carried the bag for his son, Charlie, over the weekend at the Notah Begay III National Championship's Last Chance Regional in Florida.

The younger Woods, 14, shot a one-under 71 on Saturday to take a share of the lead. On Sunday, wearing a tint of his father's iconic red, Woods shot a six-under 66 to win the boys' 14- to 15-year-old division and earn a spot in November's National Championship.

Tiger, 47, caddied for his son in the second round. He had nine birdies and three bogeys, holding on to win by just one stroke.

"Itโ€™s great. We just stay in our own little world," Charlie said when asked about his father caddying for him. "We take it one shot at a time. He puts me in my place. Iโ€™ll talk about the next tee shot and heโ€™s like, โ€˜No. This is the shot weโ€™re going to focus on. Focus up. This is what weโ€™re gonna do.'"

The Notah Begay III National Championship is scheduled for Nov. 4 through Nov. 6 on the Koasati Pines course at Coushatta Casino Resort in Louisiana.

The elder Woods hasn't played in a PGA Tour event since the Masters Tournament in April, when he withdrew in the third round due to plantar fasciitis. It's unclear when or if he will return from ankle surgery, which he had following the Masters.
