Does Tiger Woods consider Charlie Woods to be better than him?
Tiger Woods has been playing golf since he was a toddler. His junior and collegiate-level statistics were more than good for an amateur, as he won three consecutive US Junior Amateurs and US Amateurs from 1991 to 1996. He continued his form when he turned professional and gradually became the G.O.A.T by winning 100+ titles worldwide.
Since Charlie is the golf legend’s son and he is interested in playing golf, spectators have been keeping an eye on him to see if he is good enough to fill his old man’s shoes. While half of them believed he can, the other half had doubts about him. However, the recent interview Tiger had with Golf Digest shows that it is he who has trouble filling in for his son.
