Charlie Woods cracked a hilarious one-liner just before his dad Tiger Woods got up on stage to collect the Bob Jones Award, the USGA's highest honour recognising commitment to sportsmanship and respect for golf's traditions.

Woods, 48, was presented with his prestigious award by the USGA in a ceremony at Pinehurst in North Carolina on Tuesday night.Just before Woods took to the podium, his son Charlie Woods, 15, couldn't help crack a joke.

"Well I guess I'll start my speech by saying Charlie just said don't let my head get too big," Woods said as he stifled a smile in front of those watching on in the gallery. Woods' family members were situated in the crowd, including Charlie, daughter Samantha, 16, and mother Kultida, 80. The 15-time major champion continued: Woods then spoke about his past achievements in USGA tournaments throughout his career.

The former World No.1 is a nine-time USGA champion having won three straight US Junior Amateurs, three straight US Amateurs, as well as the US Open at Pebble Beach (2000), Bethpage Black (2002) and Torrey Pines (2008).Woods then moved on to pay an emotional tribute to his mom, Tida, thanking her for all of her support in helping him achieve his dreams.
