Legendary golfer Tiger Woods’s son, Charlie Woods, is turning heads as he steps into the spotlight. The 15-year-old recently qualified for his first major tournament, but what really caught everyone’s attention was how much he looks like his famous dad. Social media went wild with chatter about his striking appearance.
Charlie Woods was seen practicing with his father at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina on June 10. Golf fans were not only impressed by his golfing abilities but also by his remarkable resemblance to both Tiger Woods and his mother, Elin Nordegren.

Despite Tiger and Elin’s high-profile divorce in 2010, they have both played significant roles in raising Charlie. Tiger’s genetics and Elin’s features have combined to produce a young man who is getting noticed both on and off the golf course.

Tiger and Elin’s older daughter, 16-year-old Sam Woods, is also attracting attention. She made a rare public appearance last May at the PNC Championship’s Pro-Am event, where she was seen caddying for her dad, a touching father-daughter moment that was captured on video and shared online.

Comments about Sam’s appearance were similar to those about Charlie’s. Fans noted her strong resemblance to her parents, calling her a “beautiful combination of Mom and Dad.” She is affectionately referred to as the “spitting image” of her parents.

Tiger explained that her name, Sam, is a tribute to his late father, who called him “Sam” because he thought the nickname was more fitting. Sam’s birth and presence have changed Tiger’s outlook on life, shifting his priorities.
