Following a disappointing 10-over 82 on Day 3 of the Masters, Tiger Woods turned to a new swing coach before his 100th career round at Augusta on Sunday: His 15-year-old son Charlie.
With Tiger in his Sunday red and Charlie adorned in his father’s new clothing line, it was the younger Woods who appeared to be dispensing the advice at the Augusta driving range. Charlie is seen taking a few slow swings for the benefit of his father, who was also chatting with caddie Lance Bennett.
‘Seeing Charlie Woods on the range giving his old man a lesson,’ 2008 Masters winner Trevor Immelman wrote on X. ‘So cool!’
Tiger is coming off a rough outing on Saturday.
He started the day 1 over and seven shots off the lead, and feeling like he was capable of making a run at Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and the rest of the leaders. But that was before eight bogeys and two double-bogeys, offset by just a pair of birdies, left the 48-year-old Woods at the bottom of the leaderboard rather than the top.
It was only the fifth round Woods has shot in the 80s as a professional, and only the third in a major. He shot an 80 in the first round of the 2005 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay and an 81 in the third round of the 2002 British Open at Muirfield.
