Tiger Woods' son Charlie climbs leaderboard at Junior PGA Championship

Tiger Woods' son Charlie is following closely in his father's footsteps -- and he's already mirroring some of his dad's early success on the golf course.

The teenager delivered a remarkable performance at the Junior PGA Championships on Wednesday, July 30, shooting an impressive 66 in the second round, according to the Journal & Courier.

His performance, including nine birdies, moved him up from 43rd to a tie for 7th place, showcasing his growth and determination after a tough experience at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship earlier in July.

In addition to Charlie, Woods shares a daughter, Sam, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren. The former couple was married from 2004 to 2010.

Woods took to social media on March 23 to publicly confirm he is now in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump.

"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" Woods captioned two photos of himself with Vanessa Trump. "We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."

Woods has also shown plenty of public support for his two children. In March, Woods was spotted cheering as daughter Sam's soccer team, the Buccaneers, won the FHSAA Class 2A state final at Spec Martin Municipal Stadium in DeLand, Florida. In footage shared by the Palm Beach Post, the golfing legend was seen in the bleachers wearing a white baseball cap and an FHSAA girls' soccer state championships T-shirt, celebrating alongside other proud parents.

Just weeks prior, Woods spoke about the importance of being a good parent in a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Kultida Woods, whose death he announced on social media on Feb. 4.

Woods has previously said that as a dad, he aims to both guide and protect his kids as they grow into their own.

"Being a parent, you always want to be the protector and guider of them and teach them skills that they will need in life when you're not around," Woods told Golf Digest in 2022. "And so that's the most important thing about being a parent."

Charlie Woods

Charlie Axel Woods was born Feb. 8, 2009.

Now a teenager, he has been busy competing on the junior golf circuit.

Charlie previously competed alongside his father and made his debut Feb. 22 as an individual competitor in a pre-qualifier event for The Cognizant Classic, a PGA Tour event.

When Charlie competed in a golf tournament in Florida in September 2023, Woods served as his caddie.

"We just stay in our own little world and we just take it one shot at a time," he said of having his dad as his caddie.

The father-son duo have also competed together at multiple PNC Championships, most recently in December 2024, where Charlie shot his first hole-in-one.

Woods has previously said he doesn't formally coach Charlie in golf in order to minimize any pressure his son might feel.

"He just watches me do it, and then he kind of does it," Woods said of Charlie in 2021.

Sam Woods

Sam Alexis Woods was born June 18, 2007.

Sam honored her father by introducing him when he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in March 2022, calling him a "fighter."

"You've defied the odds every time," she said.

In a 2021 interview, Woods shared what he has learned from his daughter, saying, "She has taught me how to be more patient ... I don't ever want her to leave home."

In 2023 and 2024, Sam also joined her dad on the golf course at the PNC Championship, where she served as his caddie.

The PGA Tour posted a photo on Instagram showing the family together at the tournament.

Along with the photo, the Instagram post featured a quote from Woods, who said, "This is a thrill of a lifetime for us to be able to experience this all together."
