Charlie Woods has been making headlines for the last few days, after missing a cut at one of the prestigious junior tournaments.
Every time he plays, hes under the publics watchful eye, and the expectations week after week are really high.
How to deal with such pressure?
Being a 16-year-old boy implies a lack of experience and weaker coping mechanisms, but most believe that Tiger Woods can be the one to guide him on the right path.
The 16-year-old has had some lackluster games this year, but also some superior ones, with it being difficult to predict how much potential Charlie really has.

Reactions
Social media is full of comments about Charlie Woods, and one golf fan reminded everyone that the most important thing for Charlie is simply to enjoy playing the game.
One of the fans was also a voice of reason, saying that it's hard to deal with the pressure when you have a father who is a golf icon.
Some reminded of athletes from history who had parents who dominated in a certain sport.

Tiger has set the bar so high that few can even come close.
There are those who believe that a 16-year-old does not have the quality needed to be nearly as dominant as his father.
Either way, time will tell.
It seems unnecessary to create pressure on a boy who has yet to show his qualities.
