Seems like Tiger Woods’s young cub is gearing up to become the next sensation in the golfing world. Despite his young age, Charlie Woods is already becoming the talk of the golfing town, and the latest person to chime in was none other than Justin Thomas.
The 2X major winner spoke about Charlie Woods’s striking growth as a golfer and the love the young golfer harbors for the sport and said, “So I think he started about right here, and he hits farther than I do now. It’s really cool because, you know, Charlie’s starting to really… I mean, he’s always loved and been obsessed with the game, but he’s starting to kind of develop those skills, and it’s impressive.”
He continued with candor and punches in some light-hearted teasing. Thomas, while recognizing Woods’ talents, playfully emphasizes the 14-year-old’s youthful exuberance, referring to him as a “little punk kid.” “But you know, he’s still at 14. So he’s still a little punk kid. And I like to give him a hard time. But I know that we’ll have a great time with those two.”
The friendly banter between Justin Thomas and Charlie Woods adds a layer of excitement to the tournament, injecting a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship into the competitive atmosphere. While Charlie has obviously started making some monumentally strategic decisions to further his achievements on the course, it is only a matter of time before the world of golf starts acknowledging his sincerity.

This banter between the two “brothers”, only underscores the genuine affection and rapport that have developed between the families over the years.
