Being the son of the G.O.A.T., Tiger Woods doesn’t make Charlie Woods a good golfer. However, his game does. Since 2020, he has shown how he gets improved year by year in the golf world through the Tour Championship unofficial event, the PNC Championship. From making his first eagle to helping his father make 11 birdies in a row, the young Woods has come a long way with his game.
Everyone in the golf world knows the 13-year-old is a good golfer. His viral stable-looking swing video from the Notah Bogey Jr. Golf Championship and Tiger’s recent revelation, according to golfmonthly.com, about Charlie finally outdriving him made the golf fans believe that he is his father’s son. However, little is known about his handicap score and the other technical aspects of his game.
