Charlie Woods now walks a familiar fairway. He also carries a very modern spotlight.
At 16, he sharpens his game fast. He plays with power. He plays with patience. And he keeps showing that the lessons at home stuck. Recently, Tiger Woods described the college recruitment process as something they get to experience together. He framed it as a father watching his son earn options through steady improvement. Then he added the simple point every parent understands. Charlie will choose the place that feels right for him.
Meanwhile, the internet watches everything. People praise Charlie’s swing. Then they pivot to his face. Many fans say he looks like his mother, Elin Nordegren. Others see Tiger in the same smile and posture. The debate fills comment sections because photos make it feel personal, like watching a family album unfold in public.
Still, the real story sits beyond the jokes and hot takes. Charlie shows up. He practices. He competes. He grows. Tiger follows a few steps behind, not as a headline, but as a dad.
So far, Charlie has not rushed a decision. Instead, he keeps playing. He keeps learning. And he lets his game speak first.
