Webber further went on to compare Charlie to “Arch Manning,” the nephew of NFL star, Peyton Manning, “Bronny James,” the son of NBA legend LeBron James, and Shaquille O’Neal’s sons. He said that through their last name, these players advertise themselves using their famous relative’s name as a base, and earn heavily through a NIL deal, that athletes use to market their name, image and likeness.

The Opendorse communications director further added, “He’s probably looking at seven figures as soon as he’s eligible.” He suggested that Tiger’s main contract sponsor, Nike, would probably be looking to get Charlie on board with them as well.

What stands in the way of the son Of Tiger Woods to start earning?

Currently, in the state of Florida, where Woods resides, high school athletes are not legally allowed to accept NIL money. So, if Charlie decides to play high school golf, he would not be eligible for a NIL contract.

The way around that is for Charlie to forgo high school golf and play on the junior golf circuits. Webber thinks that if Charlie does this, then companies will flock to him. Webber believes that because of the fame of the Woods name, Charlie is a low risk to advertisers. And this makes him extremely appealing.
