Charlie Woods is currently playing at the Florida High School State Championship, and by the looks of it, he is following in his father’s footsteps. Charlie made a rather delightful chip at the event and followed that with a massive fist pump.

Reminiscent of Tiger Woods, Charlie yelled “C’MON, LET’S GO!” after chipping the ball in, pumping his fist in the air.

He is competing at the Florida High School State Golf Championship at the Mission Resort & Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, just outside Orlando. The course has been a really tough one to navigate so far, with only six players scoring at par or better.

Charlie shot a 78 on day 1 and is sitting tied for 36th at the end of round 1. He is playing for his high school, Benjamin, which is in the Class 1A division. The team score was 10-over 298 at the end of day 1, taking them to the top of the leaderboard.

Just a few weeks ago, Charlie Woods finished tied for 17th at the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship. He competed in the 14-15 age bracket, which was won by Lucky Cruz.

Tiger Woods caddies for son Charlie Woods as speculations about his comeback gain steam

Just like at the Notah Begay III, Tiger Woods decided to caddie for Charlie Woods this weekend. This has led to more speculation about when Woods is likely to make a comeback; he has been away from the pro golf scene since April.

In April, Tiger Woods withdrew from the 2023 Masters and subsequently underwent surgery. He has been in rehabilitation since then and has not made an appearance on a golf course.

However, he was recently seen hitting golf balls and caddying for his son – all signs that he is recovering well from his injury.

“I did chat with him yesterday but we had other things to chat about [besides course setup]. Mainly I just wanted to know how he was doing. You don’t always get a whole lot out of Tiger Woods but he said that he is starting practicing which I think is a great sign.”

Tiger Woods could make his comeback at the Hero World Challenge or the PNC Championship with Charlie Woods.

Charlie Woods, son of the legendary Tiger Woods, added another trophy to the already impressive collection of honors his family has received. Charlie’s squad, the Benjamin High School Buccaneers, took home the 1A classification 2023 Florida High School Athletic Association State Championship on Wednesday.

Even though his team won the game, the 14-year-old placed 26th in the individual standings. He contributed to his team’s championship victory with two rounds of 78 and 76.

interestingly, Tiger Woods was present at the venue to cheer for his son and support him. PGA Tour shared the news about Charlie’s team winning the FHSAASC on its X account with a caption, saying:

with this charisma and playing style, I’m sure this boy will be a professional athlete in the future.”

“charlie is 14! The difference in the body and strength of a 17 year old and 14 is enormous. For a freshman to be in the top 5 of the winning school is impressive. Watch the next couple years, he’s still young,” wrote another fan.

“So fun- high school golf and team experience so good for him!!” added another fan.

When will Tiger Woods and Charlie will play together?

Charlie’s golfing skills have become the talk of the town after he made his PNC championship debut in 2020.

The father-son team has been participating in the competition for the past three years, and supporters are hoping that they will return to play again later this year.

Speaking about playing with Charlie, Tiger previously said (via The Guadian):”I don’t think words can describe it. Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I, it’s memories for a lifetime.”

Tiger Woods has enjoyed a successful outing during his junior career. He was a child prodigy and his son is following in his footsteps.

However last year during an interview with NBC, Woods urged his son to follow Rory McIlroy and hone his skills from the Northern Irish golfer.

Speaking about his son, Woods said:

“[I told him] don’t copy my swing. Copy Rory [McIlroy]’s. That’s one of the things my dad instilled in me, is that you should be able to balance and hold your finish until the ball rolls and stops. You can swing as hard as you want, but you need to have balance.”

Golf fans who have been following the growth of Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods, may have been wondering where and if the golf star-in-the-making would play at the high school level.

The Benjamin School, located in Palm Beach Gardens, was the lucky winner and has reaped benefits from his prowess already.

After clinching the West Coast High School Tournament, hosted by the South Florida PGA Junior Tour, on Saturday afternoon, the Buccaneer boys golf team is well on its way to what it hopes will be a fourth state championship with the 14-year-old freshman prodigy.

Charlie was the two-day tournament’s individual champ at Cypress Woods Golf and Country Club in Naples.

Seniors Aiden Miller and Tyler Bruneau tied for second, as Luke Wise came in fourth. Travis Robertson, another Benjamin senior, shot two over before withdrawing.

Charlie’s performance marks his second low-round outing since the weekend prior at the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship Last Chance Florida Regional, held at the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, where Benjamin will head for the high school state championship tournament this fall.

With Tiger caddying and final scores of 71 and 66 − a second round highlighted by nine birdies to tie his career-best − Charlie won the junior regional qualifier in the boys 14-15 age division to advance to the national championship in Coushatta, Louisiana.

The event, set to begin on Nov. 4, will conclude on Nov. 6, which is the same day Florida High School Athletic Association golf state championships kick off before teams and individual champions are determined on Nov. 15.

Last Sunday in a post-match interview, after shaving two strokes from his 2022 tournament scorecard of 68, Charlie only had positive reviews of Mission Inn Resort’s El Campeon course.

Woods told tournament host Ryan Burr: “This course is great for me.”

High school rules and regulations may keep dad off the bag when Charlie’s inaugural run at a varsity state championship comes in November. However, the Bucs can feel confident with a well-tenured “rookie” in the lineup
