Tiger Woods is arguably the greatest golfer of all time, so it comes as no surprise that his 16-year-old son Charlie is trying his hand at the sport.
He shares both Charlie and his 17-year-old daughter Sam with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren; the pair split in August 2010.
Slow and steady

He rose from the ranks to win his first American Junior Golf Association title, after he beat out several top-ranked players in the Team TaylorMade Invitational.
Prior to this, his best finish was 25th at the Sage Valley Junior Invitational in March; clearly, he has come leaps and bounds since the tournament.

Meanwhile, the three-time US Open winner was forced to bow out of the competition in 2025 when he underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Tiger took to X on April Fool's Day to reveal that he would be returning to the sport much sooner than expected, shocking fans until he admitted his joke.

"P.S. April Fools my Achilles is still a mess."
Sporting genes
It seems that sporting prowess runs in the family, with his daughter Sam leading her high school soccer team to victory in the state championship in 2025. "We've been friends since forever and I can't imagine a better end for not only our season but our soccer career," she told The Palm Beach Post.
"We definitely treated every game like it was our last. We played our hearts out. We left everything on the field every single time. I think that's one of the reasons why we made it so far, because we left everything out there."
She continued: "We didn't only play for each other; we played for ourselves, our team, our coaches, our school. This is a really important moment for all of us."

Despite being a supportive daughter and sister and attending golfing events, Tiger revealed that she is not a fan of the sport.
"When she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her," he said on Today. "I had to pack, and I had to leave, and I would be gone for weeks and there was a negative connotation to it."
