The golf world has been building up a lot of hype owing to Tiger Woods, the legend of the game, making a comeback to the sport. With an exciting end to the year in store coupled with the professional’s return to the greens, many would be looking forward to how he fares on the same after spending his recovery time carrying the bags for his son Charlie Woods
And, as the golfer aims to make it back to the top of his game starting with the upcoming Hero World Challenge, nothing has been confirmed yet as to who will caddie for the pro. However, curiosity naturally arises: would his 14-year-old son be a perfect choice for being the PGA Tour pro’s looper, or would he prefer a professional caddie for the same?
Will Charlie Woods be able to carry the bags for Tiger Woods?
Mr. T’s son has managed to turn many heads in the golf community owing to the exceptional skills and techniques he was able to display at such a young age. The young genius had clinched a victory at the Major Championship at Village Golf Course in Florida, along with a win at the Last Chance Florida Regional (Boys) with the help of his father at the bags. However, the thought of whether he would be able to provide the same kind of help to the Hall of Famer has piqued the interest of many.
A lot of speculation has been surrounding the question of who would caddie for the 82X PGA Tour champ as he gears up for his resurgence. Many are in support of his teenage son, who has already proven himself on the greens. However, will he actually be able to provide the kind of support that a professional looper such as Joe LaCava, who has decades of experience, would dispense?
Although there are rumors of how the prodigy might carry the bags for the golfer at the Masters next year, it does not change the fact that the youngster would still be an inexperienced one regardless. Moreover, with the competitiveness that the 15X major champ has showcased throughout his career, he would probably try not to “get into the romance of it” but rather aim for the win by employing a professional bagman.
With all the speculation and rumors going around, the American pro’s fans themselves decided to provide him with a solution to the problem of who would help him on the bags.
The solution to Woods’ caddie problem
TWLegion, the fan page dedicated to the legend, took to its social media handle to set up a poll on who would be a better looper for the 1997 Masters Tournament champ. The post put forward the question, “Who will be Tiger’s caddie?” under which a total of four options were given.
The tweet mentioned the names of Joe LaCava, his son, and Rob McNamara, Woods’ TGL’s Vice President, as the obvious choices for the professional’s bagman. The final option asked the fans to comment on who, apart from these three, would be a perfect match for Woods. And many did not disappoint, as they went on to flood the comment sections with Charlie Woods’ name.
Although many dream of the father-son duo making it big on the greens, it may be a sight that may come true farther down the lane since the latter is still 14 years old as opposed to pro caddies who have been doing the same for a longer time. What do you think of the pair? Will Charlie Woods end up caddying for his father?
