It is not a secret that the 15-time major champion’s father, Earl Woods, had trained him when he was young. According to the 15-time major champion, he has been using his father’s trick to let his son enjoy the sport rather than giving him intense training. “That’s how I learned the game,” he explained. “And my dad just kept it so light, fun, and competitive, and I fell in love with it.”
Charlie Woods is a passionate golfer. He doesn’t only play in the unofficial Tour events with his father but has proved his worth during junior-level competitions. In this short span of time, the young Woods has played eight events and made cuts in six. Therefore, it is safe to assume that Tiger Woods and his father’s training method was effective.
