Tiger Woods is synonymous with greatness in golf. The 15-time Major champion’s impact is such that anyone coming close to his proficiency gets automatically associated with him. Comparison is one thing, but to learn from the icon himself is a privilege. And Charlie Woods is not letting it slip with his exemplary round not so long ago. Is the 14-year-old someone who can uphold Tiger Woods’ legacy on the course?

The resurfaced video of his displayed skills from last year seems to uphold that impression. With the legend playing his irreplaceable role, the results of the prestigious tournament seemed to receive due credit from the rising prodigy.

Embracing Tiger Woods’ learnings, the resurfaced Charlie Woods video draws a worthy comparison

In the 2022 Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s Major Championship, the golf cosmos witnessed gifted sensation Charlie Woods taming the golf course with a commanding eight-stroke lead. The young golfer’s exceptional performance made almost everyone reminisce about his father’s dominant early days on the PGA Tour.

The Royal Palm Beach victory of young Charlie undoubtedly displayed a hand of the 82-times PGA Tour winner, grabbing him a then career-best round of 68 during the qualifier. Acknowledging the x-factor on his side, Charlie had commented, “Well, Dad told me to stay patient, Just play steady golf. Just stay patient, play, focus on each shot, don’t look too far ahead. Stay in the game.”

It is the recent tweet by the NB3 Junior National Golf Championship that makes the golf world recall the record-setting performance. Per the post, the young golf star could be seen flaunting his adept “all-terrain skills”. The attached video showed a confident shot from the emerging player right from the sand trap.

Eventually, looking at the mastery of the shot, Tiger Woods’ words from five months back are evident to strike one’s mind. Applauding Charlie’s talent and persistence, the 11-time PGA Tour Player of the Year Awardee said, “He outdrove me the other day.” His answer, despite a visible comparison between the two, outlined the emergence of a star in the form of his teenage son.

This legendary golfer’s appreciation for his son was to an extent that even the PGA Tour Pro, Collin Morikawa, could not hold back his awe. Hence, whenever the question of inheritance is addressed, just like in the tweet, the answer often circles back to Tiger Woods.

The most talked about father-son duo in the golf community

Tiger Woods shares an evidently enlightening bond with Charlie, especially in the premise of the mutually loved sport. Hence, back in 2022 during the Hero World Challenge, the father was seen commenting on his son’s golf swing. While most of the golf fanatics seemed to compare young Charlie’s actions with the club to his dad, Tiger Woods had a totally different take.

Commending his efforts on the field, Tiger Woods had advised his son to take the lead of the 4-times PGA Tour Winner Rory McIlroy. Showcasing a glimpse at the mentor-mentee side of the relationship shared by the two, the PGA Tour legend said, “I don’t move like that anymore. But Rory does.”

Evidence of this aspect of the father-son dynamics can also be retraced to when Woods instructed the budding golfer not to touch two of his equipment. While this discipline set by Tiger Woods might come off as too harsh to some, the success on the greens for the two does not derive from mere luck.

With that, do you agree with the comparison drawn between Tiger Woods and his son? Do you think he’ll be able to carry on his father’s legacy? Let us know in the comments.
