Tiger Woods is always speaking highly of his younger one, Charlie Woods. The father-son duo spends a lot of time on the course together. It seems that Woods is passing on his red-shirt fame to his son, and rightfully so. The two have been participating together in the PNC Championship for many years now, and just like the rest of the world, the golfer too seems to be amazed by his son’s skills and determination.

Adding to the memorable times the two have shared on the course, Woods recently revealed yet another feat his son recently accomplished!  In the recent video of TaylorMade’s testing session, Woods opened up about his son and his determined personality.

In Taylormade’s recently released uncut video, Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, and Tommy Fleetwood were all on the course, testing out the brand’s new Stealth 2 lineup of drivers and fairway woods. A clip from the session, where the 15-time major winner talks about his son was shared by the all-things-Tiger-Woods Twitter page, TWLEGION.

In the clip, Morikawa asked Woods if his son had beaten him yet in the game of golf, to which Woods replied, “Not yet, but he outdrove me the other day though.”

Morikawa seemed stunned by Woods’ reply and continued, “Even if he carries a 260, that still should not drive you.”

Recalling the incident, the 5-time Masters champion clarified that it was not just a straight drive by both. “I hit a little spinner into the wind, and he did just a tomahawk,” he claimed. And although he was not able to beat the golf champion, Charlie certainly accomplished a lot by out-driving him. And Woods revealed he wasn’t happy with just that. “He wants to beat me by the time he’s 14,” said the 47-year-old.

Undoubtedly, Tiger and Charlie have shared a lot of memorable moments together. The greatest golfer of all time is an outstanding golfer and an even more amazing father. He was even his son’s first golf mentor, teaching him to swing at just 4 years old. And since then, of course, Charlie has come a long way.

Just 3 months ago, Charlie turned 14, so perhaps the time he beats his father is now fast approaching? Or do you think he’ll have to settle for just out-driving his dad? Perhaps we’ll know more when the two tee off together, like they’ve done so at the PNC Championship these past few years!
