The talent that Tiger Woods’s 14-year-old prodigy son has displayed over the last year truly has no comparison. His recent successes are one of the many reasons why he is one of the top names that appear when you name the PNC Championship. His performance at the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship recently was an exemplary show of his skills.

At this year’s father-son challenge, Tiger Woods’s prodigy son will be moving back a tee, teeing from farther back at 6,578 yards. This decision will put the young star in the spotlight, making his name fall alongside famous golfers like John Daly, Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen, Nelly Korda, and Vijay Singh, as he will be teeing from the same distance as them.

This is a major feat for the famous young golfer at the advanced level, as he will finally establish his name alongside some of the top professional golfers in the game. While Charlie Woods will tee it off along with the likes of Korda and Daly, his famous father will do so at 7,106 yards, which is even farther than the other famous pros.
