The all-time great Tiger Woods is at the top of the list for every golf fan. Every action he does at the course or even outside the course receives tremendous love from the fans. Whether he hits a long drive or even rubs his nose due to allergies. Everything is being noticed by the fans. However, it is not just him who does that, Charlie Woods is also following the same path where fans can see the similarities between this father and son duo.

A recent video posted on Instagram shared by the PGA Tour showcases how both professional golfers are similar on course with the exact same moves. The fans have loved the videos and now that both of them are featuring as a team at The PNC Championship, they will be closely observed by the fans for more such similarities. But with the similarity in the shots, nose rubbing, and walking style. Does the father-son duo have the same golfing essentials? Let’s explore what Charlie Woods carries to the course.

Junior Woods has been doing exceptionally well with his course stats. Even at the ongoing PNC Championship, he recorded a 323-yard drive on the 13th hole, which is way above average. Now to achieve that, he uses the TaylorMade Q10 LS Driver, which was even preferred by professionals like Tiger Woods, Tommy Fleetwood, and Rory McIlroy. He uses it with a loft angle of 9 degrees with Graphite Design Tour AD VF 6 TX shaft. The driver offers a great driving range with less spin, improving the accuracy of the shot. Costing $530 approximately, it is a great option for golfers aiming to achieve long distance.

Other than this, Charlie Woods uses TaylorMade SIM Ti Fairway Wood with 15 degrees loft @14.25 degrees. Fairway wood is preferred for its lightweight due to its carbon construction and its forgiveness on low-face hits. Coming at the price of $130, it’s a great buy for shorter holes. Along with it, he uses two irons, namely TaylorMade P770 3 Iron with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 and TaylorMade P7TW 4 Iron with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100. These irons offer versatile play options irrespective of the course and weather conditions. The entire set costs $1,199, offering a complete range of irons.

Moving towards the final shots, Junior Woods prefers TaylorMade MG3 Wedge with 56 degrees loft and TaylorMade MG2 Wedge with 60 degrees loft.

Coming for $170 approximately per wedge, this is a great option for the short-game situation.

For the final shot, he uses a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 Putter with a Ping PP58 grip. For his putting, he was ranked 9th as a freshman at the PNC Championship 2023. He relies on the putter’s outstanding balance and weight distribution. Making the last shot easier and more precise. With great advantage and confidence for the last shot, the price of the putter is also justifiable. Falling under the $500 bracket is a viable option.
