Charlie Woods shocks top amateurs for biggest win of young career
Charlie Woods has arrived. Tiger Woods' 16-year-old son earned the biggest win of his career Wednesday, when he surged to the top of the American Junior Golf Association's Team TaylorMade Invitational leaderboard for an unlikely victory. Advertisement Woods, who is the 604th-ranked amateur in the field, won the event at Streamsong Resort in Bowling Green, Fla. by three strokes over Willie Gordon, Phillip Dunham and Luke Colton. Charlie started Wednesday tied for second, but grabbed the top spot with a 5-under in the final round. Charlie began the tournament Monday in adventurous fashion with a round that included an eagle, eight birdies, five bogeys and a triple bogey. The event included the world's top amateur Miles Russell, who finished in seventh place. The hype around Charlie's career has been immense since partnering with Tiger in the PNC Championship in 2020 as an 11-year-old. Advertisement But this is by far Charlie's most significant moment in the sport as he has yet to make the leap into the top of the amateur golf world. 'Yeah, I mean, I just am always reminding him, just be you,' Tiger said of Charlie in 2024. 'Charlie is Charlie. Yes, he's my son. He's going to have the last name and he's going to be part of the sport. But I just want him to be himself and just be your own person. That's what we will always focus on. I will always encourage it, for him to carve his own name, carve his own path and have his own journey.' Charlie's early career has included some significant moments, from helping The Benjamin School capture a Florida state title to getting a hole-in-one at the PNC last year with Tiger watching on. Advertisement 'I think he's doing a great job. In this day and age where you have so many different — everyone is basically media with all the phones,' Tiger said when asked last year about how Charlie is handling the pressure that comes with the pressure of being his son. 'Being constantly filmed and constantly just — people watching him, that's just part of his generation, and that's part of the world that he has to maneuver through. I try and do the best job I possibly can as a parent. I'm always here for him. But at the end of the day, I just want him just to be himself and have his own life.' Charlie is one of two kids Tiger has with ex-wife Elin Nordgren with older sister Sam. Tiger Woods congratulates Charlie after his son made a hole-in-one at the PNC Championship on Dec. 22, 2024.

Charlie could soon be ready to take the Woods family torch.

PNC Volunteers Bring Basic Financial Knowledge to New Volunteer Opportunity
PNC | Insights For about two years now, the PNC Center for Financial Education (CFE), an effort led by Community Development Banking, has been collaborating with community-based nonprofits to offer financial education to individuals, first-time homebuyers and small businesses. Now, in a new collaboration with PNC Grow Up Great, the CFE is teaming up with PNC Grow Up Great partner early education centers to deliver financial education to families of pre-K children. 'You can make it' Fred Landis of Organizational Financial Wellness and Gus Torres of Corporate & Institutional Banking, both relationship managers in Central Pennsylvania, have volunteered their time to facilitate financial education seminars for the past year. They present the CFE 'banking basics' curriculum to individuals who sign up through Community Progress Council, a York County nonprofit focused on helping people move toward economic self-sufficiency. The nonprofit is a Head Start provider and PNC Grow Up Great partner; Ellen Kyzer, PNC client and community relations director for the Central PA market, also serves as board chair. The seminar explains how to create a spending plan, build a savings account and more to participants, most of whom are working toward becoming first-time homebuyers. 'You think you're delivering content they already know, but they'll come up and say, 'Thank you so much, this is a huge help,'' Landis said. 'For me, what I take away is the tremendous amount of gratitude they have.' 'The best thing they say is that they realize they can change their situation,' Torres said. 'They may be renting right now, but that doesn't define whether they can buy a house in 6-8 months. We bring a level of seriousness and hold ourselves accountable. It just takes one person to believe in you and say, 'You can make it.'' The organization says its partnership with PNC has been an asset. 'Learning how to create a spending plan, building a savings account and manage existing resources are all stepping stones to economic mobility,' said Ruth Robbins, Community Progress Council chief program officer. 'With a strong foundation, York County families can better weather any unexpected challenges as they work with us toward their goals in education, employment and income.' Small effort, big impact If someone gets involved in this volunteer opportunity, Landis and Torres say they'll likely take away as much as they give. 'It's the right thing to do; a good thing to do,' Landis said. 'For me, the Community Progress Council carries special significance because I grew up in York City three blocks away. This is something I can do to help the very community I came from.' For Torres, an Argentinian native who sometimes helps Hispanic participants with translation, it's also about paying it forward. 'It might only be an hour of your day, but it can have a huge impact,' he said. 'Think of a time somebody gave an hour of their day to help you and have that same mentality when you're trying to help others. You'll find something that will connect you to that community and those people.' A PNC volunteer might have more to offer than they think, simply on the basis of the knowledge they've gained as a PNC employee and a willingness to help. 'Gus and Fred are knowledgeable and personable, taking a potentially dry or overwhelming series of topics and breaking down information in our workshops in a way that's approachable for all levels,' Robbins said. 'Their commitment to building trust in the classroom makes it easier for participants to take the next steps in their journey to self-sufficiency, knowing there are friendly faces in the community ready to support them.' The PNC Grow Up Great and CFE collaboration is being offered in a number of PNC markets beginning in April and continuing throughout the year. Volunteers can help teach a financial education workshop to families of pre-K children enrolled at PNC early education partner centers in their market, either in-person or virtually, following a CFE Facilitator Guide.

7 Ways Choosing the Right Bank Can Help Stretch Your Social Security Further Each Month
You worked hard for your Social Security benefits, so it's natural that you'd want to make the most of them. One way to do that is by selecting the best bank to help you hold onto more of your money. Here are top ways choosing the right bank can help you stretch your Social Security dollars further each month so you can focus on living your best life in retirement. Trending Now: Read Next: The average checking account earns just 0.07% interest, according to the most recent FDIC data and the average savings account doesn't do much better at 0.41%. Banks with high-yield accounts can more than double your interest earnings on checking and multiply your savings interest by a factor of 10 or more. For You: Banks have just a few ways to make money and charging fees is one of them. Depending on your bank, you might be paying fees for: Monthly account maintenance Overdrafts Using out-of-network ATMs Ordering checks Letting your account balance dip below a certain level Making debit card purchases while traveling outside the U.S. Selecting a bank that doesn't charge these fees can easily save you $100 per year and it could save you much more. Banks get notice of your impending Social Security check before the funds arrive for direct deposit into your account. Banks that offer Early Pay credit your account when they receive the information, so you can access your money up to two days before the deposit arrives. If you're on a tight budget, getting paid two days early could help you avoid overdrafts, late payment fees and other expensive consequences of running out of money before your next check lands in your account. Opening a new account can earn you hundreds of dollars in bonus money. You'll have to meet certain requirements to qualify, but some banks make it easy. Capital One, for example, is offering a $250 bonus for new 360 Checking customers who set up and receive at least two direct deposits of $500 or more within the first 75 days. The account also checks other boxes, because it has no fees and no minimum deposit or balance requirements. Most people know that many credit cards offer rewards you can redeem for statement credits, travel discounts and other perks, but you might not be aware that debit cards can provide similar benefits. Discover and PNC are perfect examples. Discover's no-fee checking account debit card pays 1% cash back on up to $3,000 in purchases each month. PNC's Purchase Payback program earns users cash back on purchases from partner businesses, including local ones such as gas stations. Personal finance experts usually recommend paying yourself first — put some money toward savings before you pay bills. Banks that let you automate saving by scheduling regular transfers from your checking account to your savings account make it easier to save so you can take advantage of the higher interest rates savings accounts provide. Adhering to a budget forces you to spend mindfully and in the process, avoid impulse purchases and other wasteful spending. Ally is one of a number of banks offering free budgeting tools to help you plan and stick with a budget. In this case, it's a 'bucket' system that lets you create categories for expenses and savings goals. Whether Social Security is your primary source of income or 'fun money' that supplements your retirement savings, it makes sense to stretch it as far as you can each and every month. The best banks help you do just that by providing high-yielding no-fee accounts with money-saving rewards and tools to help you manage your finances.
