Tiger Woods’ 11-year-old son Charlie is blowing minds with his unbelievable golf game

At just 11-years-old, Tiger Woods’ son Charlie is doing things lifetime golfers can only dream of achieving on the fairways.

Like father, like son.
Like father, like son.

Tiger Woods’ son is better than you at golf.

That may not be altogether surprising given his bloodlines, but when you realise Charlie Woods is only 11-years-old, then it’s pretty damn wild.

Charlie was all over the internet during the week when footage of him practising on the driving range alongside his famous father made it clear the youngster is a clone of the golf legend, and possesses eerily similar traits with club in hand.

The Woods are competing together at the PNC Championship in Orlando, which features father-son pairings. They shot a 10-under 62 in their first round, putting them equal sixth alongside the likes of Team Daly, Team Furyk and Team Thomas.

Some of Charlie’s shots were out of this world for someone his age. A five-wood off the fairway from 170 yards that bent around to the left and settled a few feet from the hole was one of his best, resulting in an eagle.

He hunted the pin again soon after with his iron on the 16th, showing his dad’s trademark killer instinct, then closed it with a classy putt for birdie.

Tiger’s mental strength is what’s driven him to 15 majors and Charlie showed his trash talking is as impressive as his golf game. The 11-year-old left a note in the bunker for Justin Thomas and his dad Mike when they found themselves beached on the 13th hole.

It simply read “DRAW HOLE!”

Mike had reportedly left that note for Charlie earlier in the tournament, and he kept it, knowing his time for revenge would come.

“In typical Woods fashion, he kept the piece of paper, and when my dad hit it in the bunker he took that same exact piece of paper and put it behind his ball,” Justin said. “Little bit of karma.”

Aussie champion Greg Norman and son Greg Norman Jr are also competing in the PNC Championship, and are locked in third place after shooting 11-under.

Team Singh (12-under) and Team Kuchar (14-under) sit atop the leaderboard.
