Charlie Woods has continued to impress this week. Amidst fears of a WD for Team Woods after he twisted his ankle on the range, he has found a way to compete despite physical ailments, much like his father.

He can be seen limping, another familiarity within Team Woods, and has allegedly worked out a way to swing despite the injury. Tiger didn’t raise a quitter. Charlie and Tiger both hobbled to an opening 59 in the PNC, despite trailing to the Daly’s and the Thomas team with a few holes to spare.

Charlie continues to grow, both physically and as a golfer. Despite the lower body limitations, this drive down the 5^th hole just now caught the attention of many a golf fan worldwide. Check out this recoil on the kid’s move!

Dressed in Sunday red, Team Woods is here for business. And Tiger looks so good on the course, it is a genuine catastrophe for the golfing world that this can’t be accessed on regular TV.

The sporting gods harmonized just now. As Charlie Woods just dropped an eagle to get within two of the lead, at the exact same time Lionel Messi bagged a goal in extra time at the World Cup Final. Keep an ear out for some more Sunday sporting drama at the PNC as Tiger looks to top off a miraculous 2022.

Tiger Woods has been in the spotlight for over 25 years, but his teenage son, Charlie, is showing signs of emerging from his shadow. The world really began to notice the youngster when he finished runner-up with his famous dad at the 2021 PNC Championship. Here are some of the little-known facts about the emerging talent.

1. Charlie Axel Woods was born on 8 February, 2009.

2. He is named after a player Tiger used to look up to – Charlie Sifford. During his speech after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009, Tiger said of the former PGA Tour pro: “I always called him ‘Grandpa,’ because he was like the grandpa I never had. And I ended up becoming so close with him that I ended up naming my son, Charlie, after him.”

3. He has his own prototype irons – a set of custom-made TaylorMade P7CW irons. But how do they differ from a standard set? Mass has been removed from the toe and heel sections. The result is there’s reduced weight on the head.

4. He has an impressive career-low score. Tiger has gone on record to state that Charlie’s game is improving. During the 2022 Hero World Challenge, he said his game was “getting a lot better”. Evidence of that can be found in a round Charlie played just a couple of months beforehand, where he shot a 68 in a qualifier for the Notah Begay III Junior National Golf Championship in Florida.

5. He goes to watch tennis with his dad. Away from golf, Tiger is an avid tennis fan, and has regularly been spotted catching a live match. It seems that passion has rubbed off on Charlie, too, who has accompanied his dad to tennis matches, including the 2019 US Open.

At Tiger and Charlie Woods’ first PNC Championship in 2020, the younger Woods had a career highlight, making his first eagle by himself in the first round.

Two years later, the elder Woods repaid the favor, but that doesn’t begin to tell the story of Team Woods’ fifth hole of the 2022 PNC Championship.

It started with Tiger roasting his tee shot on the nearly 560-yard par-5 at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club. His opening tee shot last week at The Match VII, which was clocked at 178 mph ball speed, was impressive, but he was clocked at 180 mph Saturday.

His ball speed was even faster than playing partner Justin Thomas, and also 20 yards by the reigning PGA champion, who is 17 years Woods’ junior.

Then Charlie walked, or rather limped, up to the tee. Charlie has a noticeable limp this week and Saturday looked potentially even worse than his father, who is dealing with a bout of plantar fasciitis. Charlie contributed to the team’s first birdie on the second hole, knocking his approach shot stiff and cleaning up the putt, but the pair was unable to birdie the par-5 3rd and Charlie looked uncomfortable after his tee shot on the par-3 4th. But perhaps it was the discomfort on the 5th tee that led to just another in the long list of mannerisms Charlie inherited from his father. Like we’ve seen Tiger do so many times over the years, Charlie started his downswing — and then somehow stopped and backed off the shot.

Tiger Woods‘ son Charlie Woods brought cool style to the green while competing in the 2022 PNC Championship this week.

On Monday, Charlie played golf alongside fellow United States teammates Tiger and Justin Thomas during the occasion at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Fla. The 13-year-old’s golfing ensemble featured a red sweater and slim black trousers, creating a classically sharp statement.

Charlie also donned a black cap embroidered with “Peanuts” comics character Joe Cool — one of beagle character Snoopy’s alter egos, who debuted in 1971 — wearing sunglasses and channeling a relaxed, “cool” persona. The cap has been a longtime favorite piece for Charlie, who’s worn it throughout both past PNC Championships he competed in with Tiger in 2020 and 2021, as well.

When it came to footwear, Charlie laced into a set of classic leather loafers. His style featured black uppers and thin laces, complete with rubber soles that included light squared heels and almond-shaped toes.

Charlie has worn the hat on numerous occasions over the years while playing golf in past games with his father as well, making the moment a true full-circle experience. On past occasions, the hat was worn while he hit his 10th birdie in a row at the 2021 PNC Championship, as well as his near holing out on the par-4 16th at the 2020 PNC Championship — seemingly marking the hat as a lucky charm for the young athlete
