Tiger Woods is such a legend in golf that any player who is rising up the ranks is compared to him. Recently, Swedish golfer Ludvig Aberg was compared to Woods for his success on the PGA Tour.
Chinese golfer up against Tiger and Charlie Woods
In 2021, Collin Morikawa won the British Open and a year before, he had championed the PGA Championship. A feat he attained before turning 25, a record only Tiger Woods held. However, Morikawa’s career graph could not replicate what Woods achieved in his career.
Now, after a few years, Woods has found new competition from the land of China. Yanhan Zhou just won his seventh victory as an amateur. At the age of 14, Zhou won the Chongqing Open in 2022. He has won it again in 2023, defending his title. His victory was celebrated by a tweet shared on X.
Zhou has played eight professional events so far, out of which he has successfully been triumphant twice, as the tweet informs. Accordingly, he has acquired a 25 percent winning rate, something which, the X user claims is
missing from Tiger Woods’ career! Since 2020, Woods has not won a single event. And then, his break to recover from surgery stopped him from participating in any tour.
The tweet compared the current win rate of Tiger Woods, which is zero. Moreover, Zhou is not only defeating Woods with his achievement, he is also a competitor to Charlie Woods. Jr. Woods has still not achieved the 25 percent win rate.
Charlie couldn’t win the Notah Begay National Junior Championship. It is definitely a feat for Zhou to be a competitor to both father and son. The duo will go up against many champions in the coming weeks.
Tiger Woods to return to the PNC Championship
Tiger and Charlie Woods have confirmed playing at the PNC Championship 2023. This will be their third appearance and this time the duo will be contesting to win the trophy. After the Hero World Championship, Woods will accompany his son to play against the likes of John Daly and his son John Daly II, Vijay Singh and Qass Singh, Justin Thomas and Mike Thomas, and more on the list.
This will be the second tournament Tiger Woods will be playing after his withdrawal from the 2023 Masters and a subsequent ankle surgery. The golf world awaits to see if Sr. Woods will start the train to his victorious era once again at the age of 47.
