The golf world has been building up a lot of hype owing to Tiger Woods, the legend of the game, making a comeback to the sport. With an exciting end to the year in store coupled with the professional’s return to the greens, many would be looking forward to how he fares on the same after spending his recovery time carrying the bags for his son Charlie Woods.

And, as the golfer aims to make it back to the top of his game starting with the upcoming Hero World Challenge, nothing has been confirmed yet as to who will caddie for the pro. However, curiosity naturally arises: would his 14-year-old son be a perfect choice for being the PGA Tour pro’s looper, or would he prefer a professional caddie for the same?

Mr. T’s son has managed to turn many heads in the golf community owing to the exceptional skills and techniques he was able to display at such a young age. The young genius had clinched a victory at the Major Championship at Village Golf Course in Florida, along with a win at the Last Chance Florida Regional (Boys) with the help of his father at the bags. However, the thought of whether he would be able to provide the same kind of help to the Hall of Famer has piqued the interest of many.

A lot of speculation has been surrounding the question of who would caddie for the 82X PGA Tour champ as he gears up for his resurgence. Many are in support of his teenage son, who has already proven himself on the greens. However, will he actually be able to provide the kind of support that a professional looper such as Joe LaCava, who has decades of experience, would dispense?

Although there are rumors of how the prodigy might carry the bags for the golfer at the Masters next year, it does not change the fact that the youngster would still be an inexperienced one regardless. Moreover, with the competitiveness that the 15X major champ has showcased throughout his career, he would probably try not to “get into the romance of it” but rather aim for the win by employing a professional bagman.

What do you think of the pair? Will Charlie Woods end up caddying for his father?
