Charlie Woods is a golfer who spends a lot of time in the limelight, currently playing at The Benjamin School, one of the most prestigious high schools in Palm Beach.
The 16-year-old was recently part of the national championship, along with the rest of his team. However, his team did not impress as they finished third, even though most expected them to win.
Coach Toby Harbeck shared interesting details about this tournament, being somewhat surprised and frustrated by the performance of his players.
However, he did mention Charlie Woods, aware of the attention being directed towards him, stressing that Tiger's son possesses top qualities.
"To this day, I don't know what happened," he said, as quoted by Hello!.

"Maybe we were overconfident. We just had one bad round at the worst time possible."
I've got those three juniors who have played on the team and have quite a lot of experience. My first three guys are going to be really good.
Charlie knows a lot of the attention is going to be on him and he knows not to put himself in an uncomfortable position, but his teammates are protective of him," Toby continued.
Toby Harbeck on Charlie Woods
There is a lot of speculation when it comes to Charlie Woods. The public, of course, compares him to his father Tiger, but it seems that the two have completely different personalities.
Dealing with such pressure is very difficult, especially when you are a 16-year-old who has yet to build his way to the top.

His trainer pointed out that Charlie has made huge progress in the last two years, noting that he has lost a few pounds, and then added that his father Tiger is not the same person we see on TV.
"Charlie has come a long way in two years," he said.
"He's lost 10 pounds and is ready to take on that No. 1 role. When Tiger and Elin show up to watch, Tiger is a different person than what you see on TV. Just like Jack [Nicklaus] was."
