Tiger Woods Looks Fit Following Son Charlie at US Junior Amateur


Tiger Woods is back on the golf course, although once again outside the ropes. However, the news is extremely encouraging for all golf fans, as he was seen walking normally and generally in excellent shape.

Woods made an appearance at Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas, Texas, to support his son, Charlie Woods, who is competing in the US Junior Amateur Championship. The 15-time major champion was seen wearing full golf attire, including competition shoes.

The news is a cause for joy in the golf world. Just over four months ago, Woods announced that he had suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and had undergone surgery. This is an extremely complex injury, so the fact that he is walking freely is very promising.

A few weeks ago, Tiger had also been supporting Charlie while he competed in the Florida State Amateur Championship. However, at that time, he was seen using a golf cart, although without any special protection on his injured leg.

On the same date, Woods posted a video on his social media profiles, in which he is also seen walking normally during a visit to the Marcella Club in Park City, Utah. This is a golf course that his company, TGR Design, is building in that area.

Charlie Woods Plummeted Under Tiger’s Watch

Woods’ presence didn’t help Charlie make it through the first round of the US Junior Amateur. The younger Woods carded a terrible 11-over 81 and is tied for 242nd in a field of 264 players.

Charlie Woods started with a bogey on the first hole and added a double bogey on the third, a bogey on the eighth, and the first of his two birdies of the day on the ninth, to make the turn at 3-over.

His performance hit rock bottom on the back nine, where he carded consecutive bogeys on the 10th and 11th, a double bogey on the 13th, and bogey, double bogey, and double bogey from the 15th to the 17th. He closed the round on a high note, with a birdie on the 18th, but the damage was done.

Woods’ son will play the second round at Trinity Forest Golf Club, also in Dallas, Texas, the event’s main venue.

Charlie is currently ranked 19th in the American Junior Golf Association rankings. He recently won his first tournament in that category, the Team TaylorMade Invitational.

The elder Woods holds a place in the history of the US Junior Amateur, having won it three consecutive times, from 1991 to 1993. Woods is the only player to have won this event three times in its history.
