As the US Open kicks off on Thursday, Tiger Woods is one of the biggest names that will be missing from this year’s field. The 47-year-old, who last appeared at the Masters in April, is currently recuperating at home following his ankle surgery.

In Woods’ absence, however, it is his son, Charlie, who is winning the hearts of golf fans on the internet. Let’s jump in to learn more!

Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, shows off his sensational golfing chops

14-year-old Charlie Woods is currently cooking up a storm in the golf world, much like his 15-time major-winning father back in the day. Earlier this month, he had nabbed the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s Major Championship in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, winning by an incredible eight strokes! The stellar victory was also Charlie’s second in four events so far in the 2023 season on the Hurricane Tour. He had previously claimed the South Florida Junior Open in February.

Now, Charlie’s golfing acumen has come to light once again as he was spotted at a course just 25 miles away from LACC, the venue for this year’s US Open. In a video shared by @SI_Golf on Twitter,  the young golfer can be seen practicing his swing at the renowned Riviera Country Club in LA.
