Tiger Woods has been off of any official tournaments for the past nine months, until recently when his comeback was confirmed. After going through an ankle surgery in April 2023, Woods has decided to play at the Hero World Challenge. Throughout his prolonged hiatus, his career was threatened by the questions on his retirement.

As Woods is set to meet the greens again, those questions have left the golf realm. Although another mystery is now surrounding his return – who will be caddying for Tiger Woods at the Hero World Challenge?

Is Charlie Woods the only choice for being Tiger Woods’ caddie?

The simple and straight answer to the question is: there is a chance of Charlie Woods carrying his father’s bag for the Hero World Challenge. Because as Woods underwent his plantar fasciitis surgery and a break thereafter, he had to bid goodbye to his old caddie, Joe LaCava.

Hence, LaCava moved onto the bag of World No.5, Patrick Cantlay. Now, Tiger Woods stands without any bag man. Although the legendary golfer might not need as much assistance from his caddie, he will still require a caddy to support him on the greens.

And as per the golf world, his son will be the one carrying his clubs. Charlie Woods might be filling the berth of Woods’ caddie. Tiger Woods has been caddying for Charlie throughout his amateur career. Jr. Woods might have gotten a hang of it now and so speculations have risen, with people expecting the duo to reverse roles in Albany.

Additionally, Woods has always expressed his joy in playing alongside Charlie. He might choose Charlie to be by his side for the challenge. The duo will then make their appearance the next week of the challenge at the annual PNC Championship in the Bahamas.
