Tiger Woods’s

It will be Tiger Woods’s 24th appearance in the Open Championship. This legendary stretch of playing the British Open started in 1995, and in these decades, Woods acquired three Claret Jugs to add to his even more legendary winning cabinet. Indeed, the 152nd might turn out to be special for the 15-time major winner, as he has hinted that it may or may not be his last major event.

The last major of the year can be made more special if the 48-year-old is accompanied by his son, Charlie Woods. At the Masters, and the U.S. Open, the 15-year-old had coached his father, and Woods was playing relatively well, yet he missed the cut at the unforgiving Pinehurst No. 2. Coming to the Royal Troon Golf Club, Woods would expect to at least make the cut, but his son would not be with him.

Why? Well, the 15-year-old junior golfer has qualified for his first-ever USGA event. Woods Jr. will be making his debut at the US Junior Amateur, which will start on July 22nd. Since the dates of the Open Championship and US Junior Amateur are one after the other, the junior golfer will not have time to accompany his father and practice for his debut as well. The 48-year-old will be making his appearance without his son and attempting to card a better finish.

Given his three claret jugs, Woods will have the chance to play in the Open Championship until he turns 60 and will have plenty of chances to take his son with him. Unless the unbearable injuries strike again, keep the 15-time major champion from even participating in the four majors. But where will the father-and-son duo be seen next?

When will the golf world see Tiger Woods and Charlie again on the greens?

The answer might be obvious: Charlie Woods would probably want his father to be at the Oakland Hills Country Club for his first USGA event. However, this may only be possible if Woods misses the cut at the Royal Troon Golf Club in St. Andrews. Seeing the past trends, the missed cut streak might follow even at Royal Troon, as the 48-year-old was able to make the cut at only the 88th Masters, where he finished last.

Woods missed cuts at the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open which was frustrating for the 82-time PGA Tour winner as he believed he had played well enough to be in contention. Alas, if the 15-time major winner does make the cut at the 152nd Open Championship, he will surely miss Charlie Woods’s debut at the US Junior Amateur, an event he has won three times in his junior career.

Then, where will the two be seen together next? As per Charlie Woods’s 2024 schedule, the 15-year-old would probably play in the SFPGA Jr. Cup, which will start on July 29 and run until July 31st. The father-son duo can be seen there, as the 48-year-old’s 2024 schedule would be over by then too.

Whenever the two might join hands again, it will surely be a treat for the Woods’s fans. Right now, Tiger Woods is probably busy practicing for the Open Championship and Charlie Woods for his first US Junior Amateur. It remains to be seen who will turn up with better results.

The last year was a huge success for Charlie Woods! Tiger Woods’s son played the most number of events in the 2023 season and may start to replicate the success he achieved then in the 2024 season too. For now, the junior golfer has not competed in any of the matches. The 14-year-old started school in January and is probably waiting to make the official start soon.

Looking at his past season’s schedule, the 14-year-old may play in March and attempt to qualify for one of the biggest junior championships that usually happens near the end of the season in November.

Charlie Woods’s probable step toward the national championship

Last year in September, Woods Jr. won the Last Chance Regional event by hitting an 8-foot birdie at the par-4 18th hole to qualify for the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship. This was the second biggest moment of his amateur career as his team also captured the FHSAA Class A state championship in November. Interestingly, he might be on to something bigger in the 2024 season.

The qualifying event for the 2024 Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship will be held in March at the Mission Inn Resort & Club. The event will start on June 26 and end on the 27th. Charlie Woods may participate in the event as it is the Florida Regional Final, his home state.

The event still has a deadline of Friday, June 21 (midnight). Although Woods’s name is not on the participating list yet, he may soon apply for it. In 2023, Woods Jr. was 14 strokes away from winning the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship and tied for fourteenth spot concluding the 54 holes with a final score of 2 over 215.

Last year, it was the last event before the Final Championship in Coushatta; this year as well, Charlie Woods may follow a similar schedule.

In the past season, Woods Jr. had his father caddie for him in all the events, which broke the news that Woods was healthy enough to return to golf. However, will Woods caddie for his son this year?

Can Tiger Woods caddie for his son with health issues?

It was at Riviera that Tiger Woods had his official start on the PGA Tour after his surgery in April 2023. However, the anticipated rounds of Woods were cut short as he withdrew from the event, citing the flu. By the time Charlie competes, Woods will be healthy again to caddy for his son since his influenza will probably recover. The ending of the GOAT’s first appearance was not good, but the start was also somewhat less attractive.

In round one of the Genesis Invitational, Woods shanked the last hole. After playing 18 holes, Woods experienced back spasms again. It should be noted that the 15-time major champion has had six back surgeries in his life. It highlighted that Woods cannot take as much pressure as he previously used.

However, he might caddie using a motorized golf cart since he loves to spend time with his son on the course. As for the regional finals, the NBIII committee asks for prior approval for the caddies to use the golf cart. Once that is acquired and his health is available, the golfer may caddie for Charlie, just like last year.

A culmination of 27 years of achievements! That is but one of the phrases that aptly describes Tiger Woods’s new brand, Sun Day Red. However, its launch failed to impress many in the community as they took to the internet to express the same. But, the golfer’s children don’t seem to share the same opinion

The 48-year-old took to reveal how his kids, Sam and Charlie Woods, reacted when they learned of the new brand drop. Interestingly, the responses that they dished out were just like how any other teenager of their age would react, it seems!

Did Tiger Woods’s Sun Day Red impress his kids?

“They are kids, right?” exclaimed the professional as he alluded to Charlie and Sam, the 14- and 15-year-olds, respectively. Still, that didn’t stop the father from explaining the process to his kids, including the “material” that they are “going to be using along with the high-end premium products.”

However, their reply stumped the 15-time major champ. What did they say? Well, the two offspring that Woods had with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren just asked, “Dad, is it going to be cool?” to which he just replied, “Of course it’s gonna be cool.” Apparently, that’s all they “care about,” as per the legend.

However, the same cannot be said for the rest of the community. As soon as the brand was dropped, many had taken to their social media handles to comment on the logo as well as the make of the clothing line. A fan even went ahead to say, “This stuff is ugly” while alluding to the placement of the sigil on the products.

Although the 14-year-old golfer was excited about the label’s launch, that doesn’t mean he would also sport the same on the greens. Especially so since he was reported to have signed with another brand, a while back.

Back in December 2023, the youngster was speculated to have signed with Greyson Clothiers. What’s more, NFL star Larry Fitzgerald had also gone ahead and welcomed the young athlete to the family via his Instagram handle adding more fuel to the claims. Interestingly, the prodigy was also spotted wearing the products of the clothing label during the PNC Championship event.

The 1997 Masters Tournament champ was also of a similar opinion. He said, “He[Charlie] can wear whatever the hell he wants.” But, amusingly, there’s just one thing the professional wants from his son as he admitted, “I just wish I had his hair.”

Charlie Woods may be only 14 years old, but he’s been hitting his driver like his dad used to at the peak of his powers.

During the PNC Championship, Charlie was not only long with his driver – but he was accurate as well.

That included one moment when he bombed his tee shot and then waved it goodbye as it landed perfectly in the fairway.

Team Woods played well on the first day of the two-day tournament – with Charlie hitting fairway after fairway.

However, the best the father-son pairing of Charlie and Tiger Woods only led to a finish of eight-under-par for the day.

It’s something that Charlie lamented once the round finished up and he spoke to reporters.

‘I mean, I drove the ball really good today – I didn’t miss a fairway – and we still managed to shoot eight-under,’ Charlie remarked, adding, ‘We just suck at putting.’

Tiger agreed, following up his son’s comments by saying that he ‘summed it up right there’.

Saturday was a bit more of a family affair for the Woods clan than normal – with Tiger’s daughter Sam seen caddying for him during the tournament.

Team Woods is tied for eleventh at the PNC, which is currently being led by Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron 15-under.

Three strokes behind them is a four-way tie for second with the father-son combos of Bernhard and Jason Langer, Vijay and Qass Singh, Retief and Leo Goosen, and David and Brady Duval.

After a rain-soaked Round One, the second round tees off from Florida later on Sunday.
