Tiger Woods gets honest with son Charlie about bad Masters news

Tiger Woods is gearing up to win his sixth green jacket, but he issued a stern warning to his son Charlie before teeing off at Augusta on Thursday.

Tiger Woods told his son Charlie he won’t be allowed to play on the members’ tee at the Masters after admitting that the 15-year-old currently hits the ball longer than he does.

Charlie wants to emulate his father’s career and make a living from golf, and has already played in a PGA qualifying tournament. And in fact, his progress has been so great that he has now surpassed his father.

Woods, one of the most competitive athletes of all time, doesn’t want his son to take the game lightly, so he has set strict rules for the next time he plays at Augusta National, home of the Masters. “We haven’t played in a few years. We were here last weekend,” Woods said when asked if he’d played the course with Charlie recently. “He wanted to be home. So I came here and got a chance to play with the chairman, Rob and JT, and we had a great time.” “Obviously I’d love to play a bit more with him here and share some experiences, especially now that he’s hitting the ball a bit further and can hit it past me.” So I guess his days of playing on the members’ pitch are over. He needs to go home with us.

Charlie finished a dismal 16 over par at Lost Lake, missing out on the chance to play in his first PGA Tour event. The teenager in particular had a nightmare on the par-four seventh when he scored 12.

But the teenager recently enjoyed happier times as his father Tiger and mother Elin Nordegren celebrated his state championship victory in Florida. Charlie received his ring and medal after Benjamin High School won the Class 1A state golf championship.
