Born on Feb. 8, 2009, Charlie certainly seems to be taking after his father. In 2016, he tied for second at a US Kids Golf event and has been "dominating the South Florida junior golf circuit" ever since, according to Golf Digest. He also clearly picked up some of Woods's mannerisms judging by his reaction to watching Rafael Nadal take on Marin Cilic at the 2019 US Open (pictured above). The duo also joined forces and competed together in 2020, 2021 and 2022 at the annual PNC Championships.
Charlie has also proven himself to be a formidable golfer all on his own. In June, he won Hurricane Junior Golf Tour's Major Championship at Village Golf Course by a whopping eight strokes, per SB Nation, proving he definitely inherited some of his dad's skills.
While Charlie definitely seems to be following in his dad's footsteps, Woods has been clear about not wanting to pressure his son into anything. Charlie is "his own person," he told PGA in 2021. "I'm proud of whatever direction he chooses, whether he sticks with the game or not. That's one of the things that we made sure of. That Charlie was Charlie."
Still, he loves the chance to play ball with his son. "Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son, it's always special," he told ESPN in 2022. "And to do it in a competitive forum, the last couple of years have been magical, and to be able to do it again, we're looking forward to it."
