It is no surprise that Justin Thomas and his dad, Mike, will be paired with Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie, during the opening round of the PNC Championship on Saturday.
They did so during the first round a year ago, and they are neighbors in South Florida.
But what was interesting is what the older Thomas -- a former club pro and still a teacher to his son -- said about playing with Woods recently.
"It's crazy how good he's hitting it and how far he's hitting, for what he's been through," Mike Thomas said Thursday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.
That ought to add a bit more juice to what already promises to be a high-intensity weekend for what is normally a low-key, offseason golf event among major champions and their family members.
Woods will play competitive golf for the first time in a year -- since he and Charlie, now 12, tied for seventh at this same tournament a year ago, in fact.
A Feb. 23 car crash in which Woods suffered significant injuries to his right leg and foot left him hospitalized for weeks and immobile for months. Only recently has he emerged to show the progress he has made, which includes playing golf with his son, something that seemed inconceivable in the aftermath of the accident.
"My excitement level is high just for him being out here and being somewhere other than his house and getting to see a lot of familiar faces," said Justin Thomas, a 14-time PGA Tour winner who has probably spent more time with Woods in the past several months than any other player.
"And know spending time with Charlie is a huge deal to him. So I know he's excited for that part.
"In terms of competing, I think his expectations are very low. But at the same time, he is who he is for a reason, so I'm sure he'll be pissed off if he doesn't play well."
Woods, who turns 46 on Dec. 30, tried to keep the expectations down during his news conference at the Hero World Challenge on Nov. 30. He was self-deprecating as to how far he was hitting the ball, and cautioned that he was a long way from playing competitive tour golf.
