Min Woo Lee gives a shoutout to Charlie Woods after Tiger’s comment on his son
Min Woo Lee gave a shout-out to young Charlie after Tiger Woods's recent comment about his son. During the 2024 US Open practice rounds at Pinehurst No. 2 Golf Course, Tiger Woods and his son Charlie were joined by Max Homa and Min Woo Lee.
Following the practice, Woods revealed that his son was excited to see Lee and Homa at the golf course. In an interview with the PGA Tour, Woods said:
"It's neat for him to see the guys he watches on TV and YouTube and TikTok, whatever the hell it is they do. He was very excited to watch Max and Min Woo."
The Aussie took to his Instagram account to give a shout-out to Woods Jr. by sharing Tiger's comment with an emoji of a goat alongside the word "Charlie."
Charlie Woods often accompanies his father on the golf course, and for this week's Major, he has been helping his father with practice. Tiger Woods has been spotted at the US Open venue quite a few times before the commencement of the event. He will tee off at the Major on Thursday, June 13, at 7:29 a.m. ET on the tenth hole. Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick will join him.
Tiger Woods earned a special exemption from the USGA for this week's Major, and fans are undoubtedly looking forward to seeing him play.
Woods has previously won the US Open three times in his career. However, in recent years, he has been struggling with his game owing to injuries and even failed to make the cut at the PGA Championship last month. Moving ahead, it will be interesting to see if he can bounce back and win the Major on Sunday, June 16.
