“Starts out like Moe, finishes like Rory McIlroy” - Golf fans react to Tiger Woods’ son Charlie’s stunning swing technique
Tiger Woods and his son Charlie will be taking part in the 2023 PNC Championship starting Friday, December 15. Participating in the event for the third time, Team Woods will be one of the duos that generates the most attention.
Charlie Woods has been making his own way in golf. Aged 14, he has just started in the junior category. Nevertheless, it is natural for fans to compare his skills to those of his father, particularly his swing.
Many fans have claimed that Charlie's golf swing has a lot of resemblance to Tiger Woods', although there are also some who compare him to Rory McIlroy.
Let's take a look at some of these opinions on X (formerly Twitter):
"Starts out like Moe, finishes like Rory," wrote one fan.
"Looking like Tiger McIlroy," another fan wrote.
Tiger Woods and his son Charlie are one of the 20 teams that will be playing in the 2023 PNC Championship. Each team comprises one professional player, either active or retired, accompanied by one of his or her family members.
All professional players present have won at least one Major or The PLAYERS Championship. Three female players will be in the field - LPGA Tour stars Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, and Steve Stricker's daughter, Izzy.
