Another win for Charlie Woods. Tiger’s 14-year-old son made him the Major Championship, a junior competition valid for the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. The competition was played at the Village Golf Course in California. Small detail: Charlie was defending champion.

Charlie Woods, results

Woods jr imposed himself in the 14-15 age category with 143 strokes (72-71), detaching the runner-up by eight strokes. The first round Charlie allowed himself four birdies; in the second a streak of five birdies in seven holes.

So Tiger’s son was the only one to close under par on the field (-1) The win marked Woods’ second joy in four events so far in the 2023 season on the Hurricane Tour. In February, Woods captured the South Florida Junior Open.

Last season, he had two more Hurricane Tour victories, including the Major Championship itself at Village. In the circuit today he is 16th in his age category. The race took place under the watchful eye of Tiger, on the fairway with his golf cart.

“Don’t copy my swing. Copy Rory’s’: so the champion said to his son some time ago, speaking on an NBC broadcast, to be exact on the eve of the Hero World Challenge 2022. Many technicians find similarities between the Northern Irishman’s swing and that of the son of the global golf phenomenon.

Charlie Woods speaks little and doesn’t get overwhelmed. “My father always told me: he must be able to maintain his balance and finish until the ball stops rolling”. And so far things are going well… Eldrick Tont Woods (born December 30, 1975), better known as Tiger Woods, is an American golfer.

Considered among the best golfers of all time, as well as the best of the modern era, in his more than twenty-year career he won 110 professional tournaments, including 15 majors, making him the most successful player in history ; held the number one position in the OWG world rankings for a total of 683 weeks, 281 of which were consecutive weeks (from June 12, 2005 to October 30, 2010), and is the only golfer to have won all four majors in the modern era within a single year (between 2000 and 2001).

In 2014, he became the first sportsman in the world to surpass one billion dollars in earnings from wins and sponsorships. He was later surpassed by Michael Jordan and his net worth is estimated at $1.8 billion as of 2023, making him the second highest paid sportsman ever.

In 2019, US President Donald Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States of America.

After a week of crazy (potential) merger news, Golf Twitter is back to focusing on actual golf this week. And its eye is squarely on Los Angeles. It just wandered, momentarily, to a different L.A. course on Wednesday.

That’s because Charlie Woods, the 14-year-old son of 15-time major champ Tiger Woods, teed it up down the road at Riviera Country Club. And a new video of the rising star’s swing drew plenty of attention on the eve of the 2023 U.S. Open. Take a gander:

A Woods puring one off the opening tee at Riviera wearing a sweater vest? Yeah, we’ve seen that one before. What’s also pretty cool is that Tiger made his PGA Tour debut in the same exact spot as a 16-year-old 30 years ago. Anyway, looking good, Charlie! Both the swing and the sweater vest, that is.

Tiger Woods’ son is following in his footsteps.

The pro golfer’s younger child, Charlie Axel Woods, 14, is quickly making a name for himself in the sport, playing alongside his father in several major tournaments.

Tiger spoke about how it felt to have his son by his side after the pair’s first tournament together in 2020.

“I don’t think words can describe it,” he told reporters in a PGA Tour video. “Just the fact that we were able to have this experience together, Charlie and I. It’s memories for a lifetime.”

Along with Charlie, whom he welcomed with his ex Elin Nordegren in February 2009, Tiger is also dad to daughter Sam Alexis Woods, born to him and Nordegren in June 2007. Though he and Nordegren split in 2010, Tiger spent plenty of time with his two kids growing up — both on and off the course.

“Charlie clearly loves the times he spends with his dad on the golf course,” a source told PEOPLE in 2020. “It’s a definite bonding activity for the two of them.”

Charlie is already skilled with a club, but Tiger has made it clear that the boy is “his own person” and can follow his own path in life. “I’m proud of whatever direction he chooses, whether he sticks with the game or not,” he said in an interview with PGA. “That’s one of the things that we made sure of. That Charlie was Charlie.”

Here’s everything to know about Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie Axel Woods.

He was born in 2009

Tiger and Nordegren welcomed their second child on Feb. 8, 2009, nearly two years after their daughter Sam Alexis was born.

The golfer announced the big news on his website, saying, “We want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts. Sam is very excited to be a big sister and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family … We look forward to introducing Charlie to you at the appropriate time.” He also added that Nordegren and the baby were “doing great.”

Charlie’s name has a sentimental meaning

Tiger explained on his website that the name Charlie was one of a few options they had in mind, and when he was born, they felt it “just fit.” His middle name was already planned, as it holds special meaning to the family.

“As far as the Axel, that’s Elin’s brother’s name so we wanted to make sure it stayed in the family,” he wrote.
