Heartwarming Tiger Woods, Charlie Woods News Surfaces on Thursday
Heartwarming Tiger Woods, Charlie Woods News Surfaces on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A golf legend was on hand for the final round of the 41st Nicklaus Junior Championship, taking place at the Tequesta Country Club in Palm Beach County, Florida, this week. Advertisement 15-time major championship winner Tiger Woods was in attendance as a spectator, as he was there in support of his 16-year-old son, Charlie Woods. While the elder Woods is well known for being among the best and most famous athletes in all of sports, the 49-year-old former world No. 1 hasn't made many public appearances lately. The last time he is known to have played any golf in the public eye was during March's TGL match for the Jupiter Links Golf Club against the Atlanta Drive Golf Club, shortly before he ruptured his Achilles later in the month. So, the fact that he was reportedly able to walk alongside his son, who again played exceptionally well this week, is quite the development. As confirmed by Eric Wallace of the Palm Beach Post, the younger Woods shot a 69, good enough for 2-under. Advertisement This allowed him to finish in sixth place in a field of 122 golfers. Tiger Woods and son Charlie Woods celebrate after a putt on the ninth green during the PNC Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images The younger Woods' sixth-place finish comes just one week after he fought his way into a three-for-one playoff that he won at the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier. Charlie Woods seems to be trending in the right direction in his young career, as he was a part of two state title runs for The Benjamin School. In 2023, his team won the Class A state title, while this past year saw them finish as the runner-up. While it's unclear when the elder Woods will return or if he will at all, he seems to be quite happy with cheering on his son from the gallery.

Bizarre moment Russian man steals huge YACHT and tries to flee from Florida cops down waterway
A Russian national stole a 66-foot luxury yacht and fled through Florida waters in a chaotic attempt to evade arrest, police said. Nikolai Vilka reportedly hijacked a yacht from the Blowing Rocks Marina in Tequesta on Monday after 5:30pm. The Martin County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) probed the area, quickly spotting the vessel cruising through the Intracoastal Waterway in the Hobe Sound area. Law enforcement leaped into action - with the MCSO sharing a video of the moment authorities urgently moved their search efforts into the water and sailed off towards the yacht. Follow-up footage posted just minutes later showed the stolen vessel surrounded by police boats, staffed with various agencies, ready to catch the culprit. Police swarmed the yacht, located Vilka, and took him back to shore in handcuffs. Photos from the bizarre ordeal show the suspect with his head down and legs crossed as he sat on the floor of the patrol boat. Vilka claimed he cannot speak English, so the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent an interpreter to aid the MCSO's investigation. has reached out to the sheriff's office about what charges Vilka faces. A spokesperson responded, saying more information will be released this afternoon. It is unclear what prompted Vilka to allegedly attempt the daylight robbery of the large yacht. 'Lol this is so funny to me. What was he thinking?! What did he plan to do with a multi-million dollar stolen luxury yacht,' one Floridian wrote on Facebook. Another asked: 'He really thought he could get away with that?' Thousands of other commenters on the MSCO's post shared baffled reactions to Vilka's arrest, many wondering what his exit strategy. Others praised police efforts to swiftly de-escalate the situation and return the yacht to its rightful owner. The exact type of boat that was stolen is unclear, but yachts between 50 and 70 feet long tend to go from anywhere from $2 million to $6 million, Galati Yacht Sales reported. Vilka is not the only man who has gone to great length to escape police in Florida waters. Last May, a boat-thief disguised himself as a woman in a hilarious wig and dress to evade cops after an alleged boat theft. Joshua Kolotka, 33, was spotted leaving a house dressed as woman while deputies were investigating a theft in Lakeport last Wednesday, according to the Glade County Sheriff's Office. The 33-year-old man is seen sporting a white cardigan on top of a blue patterned midi dress, sunglasses, and a hilarious blonde short wig in a photo shared by the sheriff's office. The investigation stemmed from a recovered stolen boat located at the Old Caloosa Lodge in Lakeport. But when deputies started canvassing the area in search for the suspect, described as a 33-year-old white male, they stumbled upon a peculiar scene. 'They observed Joshua Kolotka exiting a residence dressed as a woman in an attempt to disguise himself,' the sheriff's office wrote in a release. He was arrested for two Okeechobee County warrants, along with the theft of a John Deere Gator and the stolen boat.
