Tiger Woods is starting to become a full-fledged golf dad.
Speaking with Golf Digest and GolfTV, Woods said that his 11-year-old son, Charlie, has ramped up his focus on the sport that the 15-time major-champion Woods has dominated for much of the past three decades.
“He’s starting to get into it,” Woods said of his son. “He’s starting to understand how to play. He’s asking me the right questions. I’ve kept it competitive with his par, so it’s been just an absolute blast to go out there and just, you know, be with him. It reminds me so much of me and my dad growing up.”
Like many golf dads, Woods serves as swing coach and caddie for his son. Social-media video and photos surfaced earlier this year of Charlie hitting balls on the range before a junior tournament in Jupiter, Florida, his dad watching closely before picking up the bag and caddying during Charlie’s 5-over 41.
