In the past few years, Charlie has been aiming to carry forth his father’s legacy in the professional world of golf. Now, amid Charlie’s hustle to take over, a 15-year-old prodigy has seized the spotlight, giving Charlie a tough op. Here’s the full scoop.

Young golfer shatters Tiger Woods’ decades-old record

Miles Russell, a high schooler from Florida, has now achieved a staggering feat in his golfing career.
