Coming back to the picture, it shows Tiger Woods standing behind Charlie, ready to swing at one of the golf balls lying around. Tiger has hands inside his jacket, and he looks intently at his son. Charlie has his back against the camera and is ready with his stance. The tweet read, “Tiger is back on the bag this morning for a tourney in the Orlando area.”

Charlie Woods is reportedly performing well in the ongoing tournament. His 78 on round one, and a specific chip shot he played are being widely talked about. Notably, the way he celebrated it with a fist pump into the air and a “Come on let’s go” have reminded fans of Tiger Woods. 

Seeing the picture, the fans of the father-son duo had varying reactions. Here is a sample from the comment section. 

Fans worried about Charlie Woods’ education

The comments mostly focused on whether dads may caddy for their sons in state championships, and also on whether Charlie is missing out on his education. There were some comments about Tiger Woods as well. 

Several fans thought Charlie had got ‘Phil Mickelson calves.’ While such comparisons are usually debatable, this one seems quite popular. Three different comments iterated the same idea.

 

A curious golf fan pointed out how Charlie was wearing FootJoy shoes and Nike socks. They wondered why Charlie wasn’t wearing Nike since some reports cited fit issues as the reason for Tiger Woods ignoring the brand. For the unversed, Tiger Woods and Nike had a long-standing partnership that had faded away in recent years.

 

A well-informed X user commented that Charlie could be practicing for the final round of the Florida High School State Championship. 

Another fan agreed that it is the State Championship, but also called the post untrue. They pointed out that State Championships don’t allow parents to be caddies for their children.

The discussion continued as one fan considered the possibility of a change in rules and asked if the other kids have dads as caddies.
