Shocking Revelation: Charlie Woods Exposes Tiger’s Unconventional Putting Tactics
In a surprising turn of events at the PNC Championship, 14-year-old Charlie Woods unveils a startling secret about his golf legend father, Tiger Woods. The duo, tying for fifth place, managed a 19-under finish, but it’s Charlie’s revelation about Tiger’s unconventional putting approach that steals the spotlight.
Following their third appearance as a father-son team at the PNC Championship, Charlie Woods dropped a bombshell about his father’s putting strategies. Despite finishing strong at 19-under and securing a tie for fifth place, the duo faced challenges, particularly in the short game on the first day.
In an interview with Golf.com, Charlie disclosed that Tiger’s reads as a caddie are far from traditional. “For Dad as a caddie, his reads are hook-bias, and I don’t hook as much as he does,” Charlie revealed. This revelation means that all of Charlie’s putts tend to miss right, requiring him to make constant adjustments.
An analysis of Tiger’s putting technique, revealed through putt lab data via Golf Digest, adds to the shock factor. Tiger addresses the ball to the right of his intended line but, thanks to a strong right hand in his putting stroke, he skillfully hooks the club face back to a slightly closed position. While not textbook-perfect, this consistent approach, honed through extensive practice, has proven effective for Tiger.
The Woods duo faced a setback on Saturday, finishing only eight-under and attributing the struggle to the greens. Charlie candidly admitted, “We just suck at putting,” a sentiment echoed by Tiger. However, they rallied on Sunday, shooting eleven-under to conclude the tournament at an impressive 19-under.
In the end, Bernhard Langer and his son Jason claimed victory by two shots, but it’s Charlie Woods’ shocking revelation about Tiger’s putting prowess that will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion in golfing circles.
