Son Charlie’s Needs Make Tiger Woods Shrug Off Royal Troon Failure as Scary USGA Challenge Awaits
True love is selfless. And golf’s most loved father-son duo would agree. Despite having another missed-cut nightmare come true at Royal Troon, Tiger Woods’s determination to be present for his son goes undeterred. In a true act of selflessness, Father Woods has declared his plans to take a flight to the Detroit area. But why?
Well, the reason is Charlie Woods. The young prodigy is set to tee it up at the U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills from July 22 to July 27. This would be his USGA debut and a big milestone in his career. After all, a win at Oakland Hills will help Junior Woods come closer to achieving the glory his father has achieved.
While the 48-year-old could not fulfill his own dreams to add a sixteenth stripe to his Sun Day Red logo this season, he plans not to miss his son’s big day. This event was also the reason why Charlie was not present to coach his father at Royal Troon like he was at the Masters and the US Open.
One thing is certain: The 48-year-old will be there for his son, no matter what. It seems that the loving father plans to support his son and help him practice before the big day. After all, Woods takes his time with his 15-year-old seriously. This is also evident in his reaffirmation of his probable plans to partake in the PNC Championship in the months to come. As of now what is confined is his presence at the Hero World Challenge in December.
It seems the roles have finally reversed. Senior Woods will now get the time to play coach for his son. After all, Charlie has some big shoes to fill. With his father’s help and years of experience, the scary challenge might ease up. But there’s one more person who plays a major role in helping this young prodigy polish his game, and that’s his high school golf coach, Toby Harbeck. So what does he think of the week to come?
