The combination of lots of youthful flexibility with an undeveloped upper body means it’s the lower body that becomes the powerhouse of lots of junior golfers’ swings. And Tiger’s message for Charlie was simple: that’s just fine.
Tiger’s jaw literally dropped on one of Charlie’s high lobbers, a shot so impressive that dad – much like any of us would – declared that it was time to end the warm-up.
According to a report from Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis, Charlie, who will turn 15 in February, will be moving back one set of tees for the 2023 edition of the PNC Championship.
As if there weren’t enough topics to argue over in the golf world right now, Tiger Woods’ recent leap in the Official World Golf Ranking has sparked more online debate over the legitimacy of the OWGR itself.
Woods finished 18th in the 20-man event, but the key was that he completed 72 holes without incident or re-injury to his right leg, which has plagued him since he badly injured it in a single-car accident in 2021.
Woods is attempting to compete for the first time since he withdrew from the Masters midway through the third round. Two weeks after that early departure from Augusta National Golf Club, the Hall of Famer underwent fusion surgery on his right ankle.
While vagueness was the throughline through Woods’ first public remarks since the Masters, the 15-time major winner did open the window – if only ever so slightly – into the PGA Tour’s negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
Woods, who turns 48 late next month, has put himself through yet another rigorous rehabilitation program because he thinks he can win, and he enjoys the challenge.
