"I can say it is impressive to see him swing"- Rory McIlroy praised Charlie Woods' swing

Charlie Woods is a talented golfer. Despite his age, the young golfer plays like a professional. He gained recognition from the golf world for his incredible shots while competing in the PNC Championship.

When people likened his swing to that of four-time major winner Rory McIlroy last year, the Northern golfer commended the youngster and said:

"I have practiced with him a couple of times and I can say it is impressive to see him swing and think he is only 13 years old."

McIlroy also pointed out that Charlie Woods has the potential to be the next Tiger Woods. Adding to his statement, the former World No.1 said:

"The important thing, however, is that he maintains his light-heartedness and the right spirit. He must continue to play for pure fun without being overwhelmed by the many pressures that, inevitably, will come as the son of a phenomenon like his father. But Tiger is very careful about this and is preserving it in the best way."

Rory McIlroy will be playing at this week's US Open and will pair up with the 2023 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka for the first round which will take place on Thursday, June 15.
