When you are the son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, you are surely going to be the talk of the town. However, Charlie Woods is not fazed one bit by that pressure and is making some big strides in the junior golfing world.

The 13-year-old prodigy’s golf game continues to improve, thanks to the caddying services of his superstar father. Last week the junior Woods was seen in action at Notah Begay III Junior National Golf Championship.

The last few years have been a roller coaster ride for the young Woods as he is trying to make his mark in the course. At the PNC Championship last year, the young sensation was demonstrated as his father’s clone.

Fast forward to this week, and we can get a better look at Charlie’s swing now that new footage has surfaced. He appears to have grown significantly since we last saw him in action at the 2021 PNC Championship.

Talking about his performance during Notah Begay III Junior National Golf Championship, it was not a good one as he shot a career-low four-under-par 68. During a 36-hole qualifier, Charlie finished tied for fourth place in his age division (12-13).

“When I hit (the approach), I knew it was good,” Charlie Woods said. “When it started trickling down, I knew it was going to be close, but not that close.”

The 13-year-old revealed last week that the former World No.1 advised him to be patient, calm, and steady despite his below-average performance.

“Dad told me to stay patient. I just played steady golf,” Charlie Woods added. “I couldn’t have done it without him. For some shots, I would’ve been so off. He steered me on the right course.”
