Charlie Woods is just 14 years old, but he has been in the national spotlight for virtually his entire life. That spotlight will only get brighter as long as Woods follows in his father’s footsteps and pursues a golf career.
The younger Woods has been playing golf since he was an infant, much like his father, and he’s old enough now that he is getting the opportunity to play alongside his father in notable events. Charlie and Tiger Woods first played at the PNC Championship in 2020, finishing as runners-up a year later, and they are teaming up again for the event this year.
For Tiger, the PNC Championship marks another step in his return to golf. He underwent ankle surgery after withdrawing from the Masters in April and didn’t play a competitive round again until an appearance at the Hero World Challenge two weeks ago. There’s no doubt the opportunity to play with his son helped motivate him during his rehab.
