Tiger Woods believes that although Charlie is his son, he will make his own way in the sport. Lately, people have been talking a lot about Charlie and his career in golf. Even though it’s flattering, it creates pressure. The pro golfer believes that Charlie is still a kid and that we should leave him that way. Nit-picking is not a good idea. He believes that no matter how much he trains his son, Chalie won’t become Tiger Woods. He will be Charlie Woods, and he will stay that.

And that, to me, is so important as a father that I provide that environment.” As a father, the pro golfer believes that he must provide his son with the environment needed for him to grow.
