WEST LAFAYETTE ― Charlie Woods answered the challenge of battling the tight fairways of Kampen-Cosler Course offered during the second round of the Junior PGA Championship Wednesday, July 30. He roped tee shots onto greens, converted key putts and displayed the kind of poise on the course patterned after his father, 15-time major championship winner Tiger Woods. The younger Woods shot 66 and finished -7, tied for third at time of his exit after starting the day 1-under. He converted six birdies through the front nine, including three consecutive on holes 6-8 and added two straight birdies on holes 14…

During a casual conversation about distance control, Jason Day asked Tiger Woods what seemed like a straightforward question. He had no idea that Tiger’s answer would completely revolutionize how he thought about every single shot he’d take for the rest of his career. The response wasn’t about swing mechanics or equipment tweaks. Instead, it was something far more profound—a mental philosophy that explains why champions stay champions. Speaking on Evan Thompson’s podcast, Day shared the transformative moment. He shared that he had approached Woods with a specific request. “I asked Tiger Woods one time and I was talking to him about distance control and I…

WEST LAFAYETTE — Lines of golf fans filled the usually concrete golf cart paths at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex with the arrival of 16-year-old Charlie Woods.

The player-caddie duo of Scheffler and Scott has been formidable since they started working together in 2022. But…

Tiger Woods’s stature in golf, backed by his exceptional record on the course, sets him apart from the rest. But at the 2025 US Junior Amateur, he stood out for something even he didn’t expect—until Andrea Wieland brought it up. In the 2025 season, Woods has played only a limited number of events. But on July 21, 2025, he was seen supporting his son, Charlie Woods, at the US Junior Amateur Golf Championship. Interestingly, his presence was marked not just by fame but by fragrance. Andrea Wieland, who was there to cheer for her son Kade Wieland—playing just ahead of Charlie—noticed…

Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, had little time to recover from the bruises he sustained at the US Junior Amateur. Just a week after missing the cut in Dallas, the younger Woods is back in another top-rated event. Curiously, Charlie Woods should have been defending his title in the South Florida PGA Junior Cup, the 2025 edition of which starts this Monday. However, the youngest son of the 18-time major winner will not be present at that tournament. The reason for his absence? Charlie is in Indiana to play in the Junior PGA Championship, beginning Tuesday at the Purdue University golf facilities. This…

In a deeply moving and unexpected moment, golf icon Tiger Woods made a surprise appearance at the private funeral of actor and musician Malcolm-Jamal Warner, held Saturday afternoon at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles. The ceremony, attended by close friends, family, and a few high-profile figures from both the sports and entertainment industries, had already been heavy with emotion — but when Woods walked in, unannounced and quietly dressed in a dark navy suit, the atmosphere shifted. What few people knew until this week is that Woods and Warner shared a long-standing private friendship, having bonded over their…

Tiger Woods is a three-time winner of The Open Championship but even his face on a giant billboard didn’t prevent a security guard from denying him access.

Haffey, Getty Images) Tiger Woods once had an unforgettable run-in with a security guard who failed to recognise him and refused him entry to The Open Championship.

He has won the Claret Jug on three…

Scottie Scheffler’s rise isn’t just about trophies; it’s his calm, focused mindset that stands out. His The Open win confirmed his elite status, but his grounded approach is what earns respect. As journalist Bob Harig notes, he’s following a path Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy walked too: steady, process-driven, and often underappreciated. In a recent episode of the 5 Clubs Podcast on Golf Channel, Gary Williams was joined by Bob Harig, who is a well-known journalist for Sports Illustrated. Harig was asked to reflect on Scheffler’s approach while addressing the media, highlighting that he narrows it down to stay in the present and…

He dominates and stays grounded. Scottie Scheffler doesn’t want to hear about him as the new Tiger Woods. “I think these comparisons are a bit exaggerated. He has 15 Majors and I have four,” he said Sunday after winning The Open at Royal Portrush. This is true, as is the fact that the American is only 29 years old. Scheffler has been world No. 1 continuously for 113 weeks (he hasn’t relinquished the title since May 22, 2023). In total, he has been the greatest of all time for 147 weeks. Big Cat is unrivaled with his 281 consecutive titles…

Scottie Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott enjoyed yet another huge payday after the world No 1 cruised to a dominant four-shot victory at The Open last weekend. Scott has been an integral part of Scheffler’s rise to the summit of golf, having first teamed up with him in late 2021. And since, the caddie has chalked up a staggering sum in terms of on-course earnings, with Scheffler winning just shy of $84million (£62m) in PGA Tour prize money since 2021. Under PGA Tour norms, caddies receive 10 per cent of the prize money, putting Scott’s share of Scheffler’s winnings at approximately £6.2m over…

Tiger Woods is riding the highs and lows from the course this week as his son Charlie competes for a junior golf national championship. Woods a 15-time major champion and one of the most popular golfers of all time, was at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas on July 22 for Charlie’s second round of stroke play at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.

McIlroy, who was warmly welcomed by the home fans, ended the tournament tied for seventh place with a score of 10-under-par. Despite the strong support, McIlroy couldn’t reach the top…

Scottie Scheffler’s win at Royal Portrush for The Open Championship not only made him the first World No. 1 golfer to hold a 36-hole lead at The Open since Tiger Woods but also sparked another major comparison between the two. According to NBC, there was exactly a gap of 1197 days between Scheffler’s first Masters win in 2022 and his first The Open win in 2025  – the same number of days between Tiger Woods’ 1997 Masters win and his 2000 Open victory. A coincidence? Likely, but that didn’t stop the golf world from comparing them. And that’s exactly what…

Guests at Brook Hollow Golf Club stepped out of the shade and got up from their chairs to line the roped-off 10th tee box as Charlie Woods took practice swings to begin his Monday round at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.

They continued as the crowd walked behind the 15-time major winner and the course employees who accompanied him as bodyguards. “He probably stepped where you just stepped,” a woman told a young boy while pointing to the ground and then Tiger Woods, who also is a three-time U.S. Junior…

Just a few months ago Tiger Woods announced his 2025 season was over before it even began as he underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles in March. “I’ve watched this 20 times and it’s so painful watching Tiger walk,” added a third. As Woods recovers from his latest surgery, he’s keeping golf close to his heart – even if he can’t get on the course to play. “As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured. This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of…
