The younger Woods, 11, played in a U.S. Kids
Golf Foundation-sanctioned event in Palm City, Fla., earlier
this month and routed the field in his age group. Woods was the
only player to break par, his 3-under 33 over the nine holes
five strokes better than the score of his nearest competitor. He
carded three birdies and six pars.
And if having a 15-time major winner for a father weren't
advantage enough, Charlie Woods had his dad caddying for him
during the event. Photos of them on the course emerged on social
media.
Charlie is one of two children Tiger, 44, has with ex-wife Elin
Nordegren. They also have a 13-year-old daughter, Sam.
"He's starting to get into it," Woods recently told GolfTV of
Charlie's interest in golf. "He's starting to understand how to
play. He's asking me the right questions. I've kept it
competitive with his par, so it's been just an absolute blast to
go out there and just, you know, be with him. It reminds me so
much of me and my dad growing up."
Tiger Woods is scheduled to play in The Northern Trust this
weekend, the first event in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Though the
tournament is at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., Woods spent Monday
in Mamaroneck, N.Y., playing a practice round with Justin Thomas
at Winged Foot, the site of next month's U.S. Open.
