Woods has been helping Charlie to get better at the game ever since he first developed an interest in the sport. Although the golfer has never imposed playing golf on his son, Charlie has turned out to be a natural. The junior player also recently qualified for a Junior Golf Championship where Tiger Woods was his caddie.
After Woods divorce from Elin Nordegren, Woods has been trying his best to spend as much time as possible with his kids. “It’s a definite bonding activity for the two of them.” the source said. But the way the two played together was far different than how Woods played with his father, Earl Woods.
“Tiger loves spending time with Charlie on the golf course, but he has a completely different vibe than Earl had while working with him,” the source added. “Earl would sometimes be very strict.” Woods’ father was a navy SEAL in the US Army. And maybe that was the reason why his teaching methods were so strict.
The source gave more information about how Woods teaches Charlie without being strict at all. “They’re all smiles,” he said. “Tiger is definitely teaching him the right techniques, but there’s not the intensity that Earl had with him.”
He also said that Woods used to get all “goofy and funny” on the field with Charlie. And we have all heard about Charlie’s trash-talking abilities from Justin Thomas. However, the teaching methods are definitely working on Charlie since he is getting better in the game every day.
