Tiger Woods’ teenage son Charlie Woods, 15, attempted to qualify for his very first PGA Tour event but things did not go to plan.
This week, Charlie, the teenage son of Tiger Woods, made his first attempt to qualify for a PGA Tour event.
Unfortunately, the 15-year-old’s plan did not succeed, causing the teen golfer to shoot a score of 16-over par 86 and fail to advance.
“He participated in a preliminary round before the Cognizant Classic in Palm Beaches at Lost Lake Golf Club.”
Charlie was followed round the course by his mother Elin Nordegren and quite a large gathering.
According to a report by the Palm Beach Post, Charlie was subjected to some simply appalling behaviour.
That included:
Spectators ignoring requests from tournament officials to not walk on the fairway
One spectator demanding Charlie sign a copy of Tiger’s book, “How I play golf”
According to the report, Charlie did have a two-man security detail with him so things could have been a lot worse.
Tiger, 48, reportedly wasn’t in attendance at the event to watch his son compete.
He made first appearance on the Tour where he has won 82 times when he was 16 years old at the 1992 Nissan Open.
“Everyone is looking down. Look around you, the world is so beautiful around you, just look up.
But everyone is staring into a screen, and thatโs how people view life.
“It drives me nuts at times because he’s always looking down and there’s so many things around you that are so beautiful at the same time.”
Charlie has been in the public eye for the past few years since his first appearance with his father at the PNC Championship.
His debut coincided with the pandemic and took place in front of empty stands, providing an unusual entry into the spotlight.
The PGA Tour hosts the parent/son event every December on an annual basis.
Tiger has made consistent efforts to prevent his son from being compared to him, despite sharing his name. “At the 2022 PNC Championship, Woods introduced them as a duo during their initial joint interview.”
During the latest PNC Championship, Woods discussed the progress of his son. He advised Charlie against imitating his swing and also shared a personal annoyance.
Woods expressed his dislike for the fact that he constantly looks at his phone.
Please keep your phone aside and observe your surroundings.
Many parents find it difficult because children nowadays rarely look up.
