It is tough for anyone to live up to the kind of legacy that Tiger Woods has put together in the game of golf. But Charlie Woods, Tiger’s son, is attempting to do just that. And over the past few days, Charlie has put together perhaps the best golf of his career.
Charlie Woods, who is ranked the No. 20 golfer in the American Junior Golf Association, is taking part in the Junior PGA Championship that started on Tuesday.
The tournament has some huge stakes on the line, as anyone who finished in the top-two in the tournament automatically Junior Ryder Cup team. Some of the elite players today in the game of golf, including Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy have used the Junior Ryder Cup as a stepping stone to propel their golf career to the next level.
Through three rounds at the Junior PGA Championship, Woods has positioned himself to be in great position for a top-two finish, as he is currently in a tie for second place in the event.
BACK TO BACK 66’s FOR CHARLIE.
Currently T2. Top 2 finishers earn a spot on the Junior Ryder Cup team. One round left.

It will certainly take another great round for Woods to end up finishing in second place. But regardless of whether he does finish strong or not, golf fans are incredibly encouraged for Charlie Woods’ future in the sport of golf.
It feels odd that I am rooting for Charlie more than I ever rooted for Tiger. I kind of understand it but it’s just one of those strange things that happens when you see the circle of life. https://t.co/ABZfbB8CA4

Regardless of where you stand on Charlie Woods. This is freakishly impressive, and he’s taken the next step as an elite golfer this year. Obviously one of the best junior golfers in the country. He made 9 birdies today btw. Is that good? https://t.co/yFCdi7Y11F

That would be a wild accomplishment for this kid. Doesn’t matter who your dad is… the amount of work that goes into making that team is an incredible testament to this young man’s heart for the game. Nothing more is needed to be seen from me, I’m a fan of Charlie, not just…
