Amid a 15-year-old’s PGA tour Triumph, Tiger Woods’ Biggest Regret Might Taint Charlie Woods’ budding Legacy

Charlie Woods, the son of golf legend Tiger Woods, has been making headlines with his impressive performances on the junior circuit. The 14-year-old recently won his age group’s regional qualifier for the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championships with a career-low 66, with his dad as his caddie.

Also, he dominated the Major Championship at Village Golf Course by eight strokes in June, becoming the only player in the tournament to finish under par. But now he is at the crossroads as the golf world is watching with bated breath.  

Charlie Woods torn between two choices?

But while Charlie seems to have inherited his father’s talent and passion for the game, he may also face some of the same challenges and dilemmas that Tiger faced in his career. One of them is whether to pursue a college education or turn professional at a young age. 

Tiger Woods, who attended Standford University for two years before joining the PGA Tour in 1996, has said that his biggest regret in life is not spending another year at Standford.

He told in an interview that he wished he had done one more year of college, as he enjoyed the academic environment and the connection with his teammates. 

However, Mr.T also acknowledged that turning pro early was a great decision for his golf career, as he won two majors and became the world number one in his first full season on the tour. He went on to win 15 majors and 82 PGA Tour titles, becoming one of the greatest golfers of all time. 

Will Charlie Woods follow in his father’s footsteps?

So what should Charliе do whеn hе rеachеs that crossroad? There is no easy answer to this question. Turning pro early could give Charlie a head start in his golf career as he could compete against the best players in the world. 

On the other hand, going to college could offer Charlie a more balanced and fulfilling life, and it doesn’t mean going to college is giving up on his golf dreams. 

However, Charlie as of now has not mentioned anything regarding his PGA Tour entry. Nonetheless, the 15-year-old golf sensation, Olive Betschart, is going to play in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Club in Bermuda from November 9-12. Betschart will be the youngest to compete on the Tour in nearly a decade.
