Tiger Woods’ son Charlie appears to be following in his father’s footsteps. Everything seems to indicate that the youngster has a promising career ahead of him- having the greatest and most iconic golfer of all time as your coach certainly helps.

The two were back in action over the past few weeks in Orlando for the annual PNC Championship– the tournament which sees children of famous golfers pair up with their fathers for several rounds on the green. Despite expectation that Charlie and Tiger would go all the way, the two failed to win it this time around.

“Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son, it’s always special,” said Tiger ahead of the tournament in an interview with ESPN. “And to do it in a competitive forum, the last couple of years have been magical, and to be able to do it again, we’re looking forward to it,” he concluded.

Golf fans were once again blown away by the striking similarities between the two. On a golfing level, Charlie looks to be a carbon copy of his father, with a virtually identical swing and technique. It wasn’t just their technique that caught the eye of fans, though. Their stances, the way they lean on their golf clubs, their glances and even celebrations are all identical. The future is bright for the young golf star.

The amount of habits and mannerisms that seem to have transferred from Tiger Woods to his son Charlie is truly uncanny.

Charlie Woods is generating quite a bit of buzz for how similar he is to his father.

As Charlie gets older they seem to be getting much closer together with the younger Woods already generating a lot of speed with the club.

They will be in action together at the PNC Championship.

Check out this video which shows just how alike the father and son are.

This week, Woods Jr will play from the 6,500-yard tees at Orlando’s Ritz Carlton Golf Club, which will also used by John Daly, Nelly Korda, Vijay Singh, and Retief Goosen.

The 14-year-old will most certainly be hitting the ball considerably farther than last year’s PNC Championship, and while data on his driving distance isn’t freely available, pundits who have seen him up close put it between 250-270 yards, given that John Daly has averaged 282 yards this year and Nelly Korda has averaged 269 yards.

“For the @PNCchampionship Charlie Woods will be moving back a tee from last year,” the Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“He will be playing the same tee as John Daly, Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen, Nelly Korda and Vijay Singh at 6,578 yds. @TigerWoods, aka Dad will play the tips at 7,106 yds.”

Charlie played from the tees reserved for pros aged 65-72 in last year’s PNC Championship, with Bernhard Langer, Mark O’Meara, Nick Price, and Nick Faldo. Annika Sorenstam, Justin Thomas’ father, Nelly Korda’s father Petr, and Matt Kuchar’s son Carson all off the same tees.

Gary Player, Lee Trevino, and Annika Sorenstam’s 11-year-old son, Will McGee, were the three players who used the most forward tees.

This week, all male PGA Tour players will be off the backs, measuring in excess of 7,100 yards, including Tiger Woods, who will be making his second appearance after undergoing ankle surgery in April.

“I haven’t done it in a while, I haven’t done it with my ankle the way it is now and I was excited each and every day to kind of get through it and kind of start piecing rounds together again,” Woods said after the Hero World Challenge final round.

“I haven’t done this in a long time so it was fun to feel that again. Every day I got faster into the round. The first day took me a while to get a handle on it, second day was faster, today was right away.

“And that’s eventually, when I play on a regular basis, that’s normally how it is. It takes me usually during warmup before I get a feel for the round. To be honest, that first day took me a while.”

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods is following in his famous footsteps. The teen won in his age division at a recent golf tournament, and his dad showed his support by serving as his caddie.

When it comes to golf, Tiger Woods‘ son Charlie Woods is really getting into the swing of things.

In fact, the 47-year-old pro recently showed his support by serving as the 14-year-old’s caddie at the Notah Begay III Jr. Golf National Championship’s Last Chance Regional in Florida.

Charlie won in the boys’ 14-15 division—advancing him to the national championships—and he made sure to take some pointers from his dad.

“It’s great,” the teen told NB3JGNC’s Ryan Burr about having Tiger with him on the green. “We just stay in our own little world, and we just take it one shot at a time. He puts me in my place. I’ll talk about the next tee shot, and he’s like, ‘No, this is the shot we’re gonna focus on. Focus up. This is what we’re gonna do.'”

And he wasn’t the only one excited to see the 15-time major champion there. Fellow golf dad Shane Croft, whose son Chase also competed in the qualifier, called the day “EPIC.”

“Chase was paired with Tiger Woods’ son Charlie at the Notah Begay tournament at Mission Inn,” he wrote in part of an Instagram post. “Tiger and I were the boys’ caddies. Honestly, there is no way to express what this was like. Four hours one on one with Charlie and Tiger was just unreal.”

This isn’t the first time fans have seen Tiger and Charlie on the course together. The father-son duo also spent time on the green at the 2022 PNC Championship in December.

And Tiger—who shares Charlie and daughter Sam Woods, 16, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren—has spoken about bonding with his son over golf.

“Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son it’s always special,” he told the Golf Channel in December. “And to do it in a competitive forum for us, the last couple years have been magical.”

While the PGA and LPGA Tour seasons are over, golf fans will have another chance to watch their favorite pros play alongside family members at this week’s 2023 PNC Championship, including Tiger Woods and his son Charlie. Here’s what you need to know about the tournament, including a full list of the PNC Championship teams.

2023 PNC Championship: What you need to know

Without a doubt, Tiger and Charlie Woods are the headliners at this event, as has been the case in their previous three appearances in the annual exhibition.

But Tiger and Charlie are just one of 20 teams teeing it up this week, featuring PGA Tour stars like Justin Thomas, LPGA Tour stars like Nelly Korda, and legends from both tours like Annika Sorenstam, John Daly, Nick Faldo, Lee Trevino and many more.

All of them will team up with one family member, whether it be their father, son or daughter, in a 36-hole competition under a scramble format. Below you can read a full list of the teams.

At age 14, young Charlie was part of the five-schooler Benjamin School team that captured the FHSAA Class A title at the Mission Inn Resort in Florida

Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, has won in Florida, at the age of 14. Charlie has just been proclaimed state champion at the FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) Class A high school level. Like father, like son, like son, they say, isn’t it?

He competed at the golf tournament along with his teammates from Benjamin School and individually, he placed 26th with two rounds in which he shot 78 and 76. The son of the 15-time majors champion can boast a title his father never won.

However, this claim has a catch. California did not have such a school tournament when Tiger was the age of his son, whose handicap is believed to be close to zero. What Woods senior did do was win the US Junior Amateur when he was just 15 years old, a milestone at the time.

Father and son, the best team

The Woods have played the occasional tournament together in the past, including the PNC Championship, a family golf classic held in Orlando since 1995 that gives parents and children a chance to test themselves on the green.

“There are no words to describe. These are memories for a lifetime,” Tiger recently acknowledged. “Don’t copy my swing; copy Rory McIlroy‘s.”

When will Tiger Woods return to pro golf?

However, there are signs of life in the 48-year-old according to Stewart Cink, who claimed to Golf Week that the legendary player is hitting balls on the fairway once again/

So when can he return? The first chance would be the Hero World Challenge which begins on November 30. All but one of the sports on the roster are filled, and fans suspect it’s for Woods to claim.

He could also appear at the PNC Championship alongside his son on December 14. It isn’t a really competitive tournament so it gives him a chance to stretch his legs in a way that he won’t be overly working himself.

Tiger Woods has announced that he will team with his 14-year-old son, Charlie, for the fourth time in the PNC Championship, formerly the Father-Son Championship, on Dec. 16 and 17 at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Fla.

The elder Woods, 47, has not played since he withdrew from the Masters last April because of ongoing problems with his right leg, which he injured in an SUV accident in Southern California in August of 2019.

In addition, Woods will play in the Hero World Challenge, of which he is the host, next week at the Albany Club in New Providence, The Bahamas.

“It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie and we genuinely do look forward to playing in the PNC Championship all years,” said Woods, who claimed the last of his 82 victories to tie Sam Snead for the PGA Tour record in the 2020 Zozo Championship at Narashino Country Club in Chiba, Japan. “Competing together, against a field of so many golfing greats and their families, is so special.

“My ankle is fine. Where they fused my ankle, I have absolutely zero issue whatsoever. That pain is completely gone. It’s the other areas of my leg that have been compensated for, all the surrounding areas are where I had all my problems and I still do. So you fix one, the others have to become more hypermobile to get around it, and it can lead to some issues.

“Physically, I can’t do many of the things I used to be able to do … but I can think my way around the course. There was a point when I didn’t know if I’d be play again. I was just hoping to walk normally again.”

Charlie and Tiger Woods finished second to John Daly and his son, John II, in the 2021 PNC Challenge, a 36-hole scramble event, and have finished in the top 10 in each of their three starts in the tournament, including a tie for eighth last year—when Tiger was allowed to use a golf cart in order to compete.

Earlier this month, Charlie Woods helped the Benjamin School of Palm Beach, Fla., capture the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 1A state championship.

Vijay Singh of Fiji and his son, Cass, claimed the title last year.

Other winners of the PNC Challenge in the past include Justin Thomas and his father, Mike; Bernhard Langer of Germany and his son, Jason; Davis Love III and his son, Dru; Angel Cabrera of Argentina and his son, Angel Jr; David Duval and his stepson, Nick Karavites; Lanny Wadkins and his son, Tucker; Stewart Cink and his son, Connor; Larry Nelson and his son, Drew; Hale Irwin and his son, Stu; Craig Stadler and his son, Kevin; Raymond Floyd and his son, Robert, and Jack Nicklaus and his son, Gary.

Other teams set to play in the PNC Challenge include the defending champion Singhs, the Thomases, Nelly Korda and her father Petr, and Annika Sorenstam of Sweden and her son, Will; Padraig Harrington of Ireland and his son, Ciaran; Lee Trevino and his grandson, Daniel, and Steve Stricker, and his daughter, Izzi.

Tiger Woods refused to entertain a reporter’s question about his teenage son Charlie Woods following the conclusion of the Hero World Challenge.

Tiger Woods refused to confirm or deny whether his teenage son Charlie will caddie for him in next year’s majors after the conclusion of the Hero World Challenge. 

Rounds of 75, 70, 71 and 72 gave Woods a level par total of 288 strokes in Albany, the Bahamas.

NEW: Tiger Woods to part ways with Nike Golf after PNC (?!)

By the time he completed his four rounds he was 18 strokes behind the leader Scottie Scheffler in the 20-man field.

But the victory for Woods was that he managed to walk 72 holes relatively easily compared to his most recent appearances.

The 15-time major champion displayed the occasional piece of brilliance alongside some noticeable rust in his first competitive start in seven months. He had not played since hobbling out of the 47th Masters in visible anguish which prompted the golfer to go under the knife once again. Woods had his right ankle fused which has alleviated the pain he was feeling in his heel. It’s the other parts of his body that are now sore, he said.

“I think the best part of the week is the way I drove it,” Woods told a pool of reporters on Sunday.

“I drove it on pretty much a string all week. Granted, these fairways are big.

“I felt like I had my ball speed up, which was nice, and I was hitting the middle of the face the entire week, which is nice.”

He said if there was anything he wanted to tidy up it would be his short game. Woods was also frustrated he played the par-5s poorly.

Woods also had a different caddie this week. Joe LaCava was hired by Woods in 2011 but he now loops for Patrick Cantlay.

His long-time friend and confidante Rob McNamara stepped in but in the future Charlie could be on the bag.

“I think he got an appreciation for how hard the job is” Woods said of McNamara.

“With so many different numbers and things that you have to calculate and how to stay in the present and stay in the future for the next shot and other shots and angles and winds, he got a better appreciation I think for how easy Joey made it look.”

A reporter put it to Woods: “Is there a scenario where Charlie could be on the bag in a major?”

Woods replied: “I don’t know yet. We haven’t talked about it.”

Pressed further, Woods added: “We haven’t talked about it.”

Golf fans will not have to wait long to see Woods back in action.

He is scheduled to play the forthcoming PNC Championship with Charlie over 14-17 December.

but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals is with Nike, with whom he signed in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $68 million off endorsements alone in 2022.

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006 he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasn’t the end of it at all! He further went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property.?

Woods also bought both his parent’s houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl?s names.

Tiger Woods’ Early Life

Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, “Tiger,” which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.?

From a very young age Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitating his swing. His skills with a club were amazing and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.?

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

Tiger’s father Earl was his inspiration to play the sport and was also the one who taught him how to play the game. His first official coach on the other hand was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years.

In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University and graduated 2 years later with a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996 and took his first steps to becoming the golf legend that he’s now known as.

Tiger Woods’ Family and His Kids

Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although born an American citizen, Woods? heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. His mother is currently 79 years old, while his father sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006.

Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woods’ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is, and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961.

Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods? and Elin’s second child, was born on February 8, 2009.

Tiger Woods’ Dating History

In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be Elin Nordegren, a former model. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later they went through a very public and scandalous divorce.?

Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin.

Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier, Lindsey Vonn. The two made an attractive athlete power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles.

Woods is currently dating Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a player?s spouse credential at the President?s Cup. The two have been going steady ever since and have now been seeing each other for over five years.

Tiger Woods’ Awards and Achievements

Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golf’s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead.

Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date got his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships.

The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1, at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through a strong resolve, tons of training, and rigorous hard work, the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself.

Tiger Woods Documentary

All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. ?Tiger?, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport.

The documentary also explores Woods’ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max.

Tiger Woods? Car Accidents

Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009 when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as “serious.”

Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him.

In February 2021, Woods was yet again involved in a car accident. Due to a speed crash, his car had flown off the road. He was the only party involved in the accident. The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back also. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them. Yet the PGA Tour Star found the resolve to compete in major championships in 2022.?

The Tiger Woods Foundation, Charity Work, and Philanthropy

Tiger and his father, Earl, started the TGR Foundation back in 1996. It first set out with the goal of helping children play the sport. But 27 years later, the foundation now aims to educate children on all fronts. They offer college and career programs to students and have, to date, helped turn around more than 2 million students’ lives. They further have one of the highest graduation rates among scholarship programs in the country, at 98%.

The Woods Foundation additionally hosts charity events and also sponsors golf events on the PGA Tour to raise money for various charitable ventures. The most popular tournaments among them are the Genesis Invitational and the Hero World Challenge.
