Charlie Woods swing uncovered in late 2020 has given ideas to bookies who believe Tiger’s son could follow in his father’s footsteps for years to come
12 years old, Charlie Woods will he win a major before he turns 25? The bet which has been offered by several sites in UK and US has odds of 825/1.
Became the object of all attention when he took part alongside his father in the PNC Championship last December, Charlie Woods had impressed observers, especially because of the similarities of his swing with that of his father.

Tiger Woods and his son took 7th place in the tournament won by Justin thomas and his father Mike, 20 strokes under par.
The captain of the Ryder Cup 2021 for the European camp, Padraig Harrington, had explained in particular: ” This is the first tournament in which I play with Tiger Woods where he is not the star. »
The example of Rory’s father
We can think that Charlie’s odds to win in major within 12 years are low but we must remember that the father of Rory McIlroy, Gerry, had bet £ 400 on a win for his then 15-year-old son in The Open before his 25th birthday with a rating of 500/1.
McIlroy won The Open 2014 at Royal Liverpool and Gerry pocketed £ 200,000.
However, at the time, McIlroy had already triumphed in a number of major junior events and his handicap was positive.
Future Pro of the PGA Tour?
If no official info reveals the index of Charlie Woods, it is rumored that it would be close to 0.
Tiger has already made it clear that he will not put any pressure on his son and that if he wants to continue down this path then so much the better, otherwise Tiger will not care more than that.
Bookies believe Charlie will turn pro on the PGA Tour and offer a rating of 2/1 for obtaining a category on the American circuit before turning 24.
For a victory in major before his 22 years, like his father in 1997 at Masters, the odds rise to 1500/1.
Sadly, Tiger and Charlie are unlikely to team up again at the PNC Championship later this year as the Tiger is still recovering from his injuries following his terrible car accident in Los Angeles last February.
