Charlie Woods hits putt to win junior golf event with Tiger Woods as his caddie

Charlie Woods is already following in his father’s footsteps. The rising golf star claimed the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship after draining an eight-foot putt on the final hole. He accomplished the feat with his dad, Tiger Woods, caddying.

Over the weekend, Charlie sunk the eight-foot putt to win the boys 14-15 age division of the tournament. It had to be a special moment for the family, especially with Tiger caddying for his son. Below is the clip of the winning putt:

Charlie carded a 71 in the first round of the tournament but caught fire in the second round. He recorded nine birdies, shooting a 6-under-par 66 for the day. That was enough to capture the win at Mission Inn in Orlando.

After winning the tournament, Charlie said it’s pretty helpful to have his dad on the bag during these events.

“We just stay in our own little world,” Charlie said, via USA TODAY. “We take it one shot at a time. He puts me in my place.”

Tiger probably provides plenty of insight while caddying for Charlie. He’s won 82 PGA Tour events and 15 major championships. He knows a thing or two about winning golf tournaments.

It also has to be a really cool experience on the course for both Tiger and Charlie. It’s an awesome way for the father and son to get in some quality time together — while still dominating golf tournaments.

Tiger Woods missed most of 2023 PGA Tour season

Although Tiger still has a lot of the competitive juices still flowing, injuries derailed his 2023 season. He appeared in just two significant events this past year — the Genesis Open and The Masters.

Tiger finished the Genesis Open at -1 in a tie for 45th place. Although he made the cut at The Masters this year, he was forced to withdraw in the third round because of injuries.

The 15-time major champion announced he would not participate in the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship before each of the major tournaments, as well.

Because of the serious nature of his injuries, Tiger has made it clear he will probably not ever return to a full PGA Tour schedule. He hopes to at least compete in some of the bigger events, as well as major championships, though.

So, while he’s attempting to return to competitive form on the Tour, he’s getting in plenty of quality time with his son, Charlie, on the course.
