Tiger Woods was in the right hands of his father when he was being molded as a golfer. His father, the late Earl Woods, guided him throughout his childhood. His support and motivation made Woods the G.O.A.T. golfer that he is today. And now, history is repeating itself when the former number-one golfer is molding his son into becoming one.

The PNC Championship 2021 was when everyone realized that another G.O.A.T. was in the making. However, there are times when children fall or go through rough patches. That is when their parents stand by their side, guiding them back in the right direction. That is what Woods has been doing with his son.
