Tiger’s son Charlie trying to qualify for a PGA Tour event

[BigJay]

Seems a bit too much pressure to put on the kid at this age (15), although he’s definitely been in the spotlight for a few years.

I think he was only the 4th or 5th best player on his high school team last season as a freshman (albeit on a team that won state - and he only got moved up to varsity for that one state championship tourney because he had a good record on the course).

He’s good for his age obviously.
But not Tiger Woods circa age 15-16 good (who the hell is??)

I think he's already had a bunch of pressure put on him for who his dad is. I remember seeing Tiger on TV when he was about 3 years old. I think the kid has had enough time in the spotlight to be able to handle the pressure.

Odds are against the kid fulfilling the expectations

What ever happened to Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf’s kid who was supposed to be a tennis prodigy?

Charlie has the eye of the little tiger

It's a very tough proposition. Imagine being Michael Jordan's son and trying basketball.

Spotlight on him from a young age. Constant pressure.

Can only hope the best for him. Hope he lives a normal life and enjoys himself.

Slightly off-topic. I brought this up today:

*Best SIRE in NBA history?

Rick Barry - he had THREE sons play in the NBA.

Bet that kid is banging dimes already.

Chuck Woods a great name too.

I'll bet he's chucking wood against those dimes.

He won’t make it too difficult
