‘Puts Me in My Place’: Charlie Woods’ Latest Admission Shows the Other Side of Tiger Woods Akin to Late Grandfather Earl

The 14-15 division at the Mission Inn Golf Club is the witness to the talent of Charlie Woods. The young golfer doesn’t lack in the department of mentoring, given Tiger Woods‘ presence beside him. However, 14-year-old Woods surely comes with his own set of uniqueness. And the golf world has time and again acknowledged this expertise of the young athlete.

As the young golfer scripted his dominance on the greens, it was inevitable to not mention the 82-time PGA Tour winner. Traversing on a similar line of questioning, Charlie answered a popular question entailing the role of Tiger Woods on the field beside the teenage golfer. Interestingly, the answer automatically directed the attention of the golf world toward the 47-year-old’s mentor, the late Earl Woods.

Following dad Earl Woods’ footsteps, Charlie Woods divulges Tiger Woods’ mentorship-caddie role

At the recent 2023 Notah Begay III National Championship, Charlie Woods displayed an exemplary performance, ending the event by scoring an 8ft. putt on the last hole. He grabbed the title in the 14-15 division with a staggering score of 66. Serving as his caddie, Tiger Woods is expected to play an important role in the young golfer’s budding techniques.

Per the interview with Charlie post the victory, he commented on having his dad with him on the field. He said, “He’s good, we just stay in our own little world and we just take it one shot at a time.” Though, with a small chuckle, the rising star was quick to add, “puts me in my place.”

The legendary golfer has a simple technique for Charlie to follow. To focus on the hole that he is playing on rather than wondering about the next tee shot. This comment of Charlie takes the mind back to a similar comment Tiger Woods had made about his own father and role model, Earl Woods.

In a past interview, the 15-time major winner had divulged about his dad, emphasizing the importance of discipline being a military man. His theory of “looking eye-to-eye” was something Tiger Woods wanted to carry forth with his own children. And here, it seems to have been initiated with his teenage son.

Though the comparisons continue to be drawn within the Woods clan, it is a recent display of skills of Charlie that has been the true stealer of the limelight.
