Heartwarming Tiger Woods, Charlie Woods News Surfaces on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
A golf legend was on hand for the final round of the 41st Nicklaus Junior Championship, taking place at the Tequesta Country Club in Palm Beach County, Florida, this week.
15-time major championship winner Tiger Woods was in attendance as a spectator, as he was there in support of his 16-year-old son, Charlie Woods.
While the elder Woods is well known for being among the best and most famous athletes in all of sports, the 49-year-old former world No. 1 hasn’t made many public appearances lately.
The last time he is known to have played any golf in the public eye was during March’s TGL match for the Jupiter Links Golf Club against the Atlanta Drive Golf Club, shortly before he ruptured his Achilles later in the month.
So, the fact that he was reportedly able to walk alongside his son, who again played exceptionally well this week, is quite the development.
As confirmed by Eric Wallace of the Palm Beach Post, the younger Woods shot a 69, good enough for 2-under.
This allowed him to finish in sixth place in a field of 122 golfers.
The younger Woods’ sixth-place finish comes just one week after he fought his way into a three-for-one playoff that he won at the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier.
Charlie Woods seems to be trending in the right direction in his young career, as he was a part of two state title runs for The Benjamin School. In 2023, his team won the Class A state title, while this past year saw them finish as the runner-up.
While it’s unclear when the elder Woods will return or if he will at all, he seems to be quite happy with cheering on his son from the gallery.
