Tiger Woods’ son Charlie, 11, steals show at junior tournament with his legendary father acting as his caddy as he wins by FIVE SHOTS
- Tiger Woods’ son Charlie came out on top in a junior nine-hole golf competition
- The 11-year-old shot a three-under 33 in Florida as he won by five shots in Florida
- His legendary father Woods acted as his caddy at the event in Hammock Creek
It looks like we might have seen the emergence of the next Tiger Woods after his son dazzled at a junior golf tournament – with his father even acting as his caddy.
Charlie Woods came out on top in the youth event at Hammock Creek golf course on the weekend, hitting a three-under 33 as he won by five shots in a dominant display with three birdies and no bogeys.
It can’t hurt to have the five-time Masters winner as his mentor but it seems Charlie has been learning fast from Woods Snr – the youngster was the only player to finish under par on the scoreboard for the competition in Florida.

Woods, recognised as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, has been used to lavish treatment throughout his successful career on the circuit.
But he was modest enough to cater to Charlie as he followed him around the course while carrying his clubs as he watched him steal the show.
Speaking in glowing terms about his son’s overall game last month, Tiger said he was ‘asking me all the right questions’ – even admitting: ‘I wish I had his move’.

‘He’s starting to understand how to play’, he said, as reported by GolfTV. ‘He’s asking me the right questions. I’ve kept it competitive with his par.
‘I wish I had his move,’ he added. ‘I analyse his swing all the time. I wish I could rotate like that and turn my head like that and do some of those positions, but those days are long gone, and I have to relive them through him.’
The pair have a close bond and have been pictured at sporting events together, including the US Open, while Charlie was present as Woods won an incredible fifth Masters in 2019.
