Tiger Woods caddied for Charlie Woods at the 2023 Notah Begay III Boys Jr Golf National Championship

15-time Major champion Tiger Woods served as the caddie for his son, Charlie, at the 2023 Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship.

Earlier this year in September, when the young Woods qualified for the tournament, his father was carrying his bag. Charlie played two rounds of 71-66 to qualify for this week's tournament.

Back in September, speaking about his father, Charlie said (via PGA Tour):

“It’s great. We just stay in our own little world. We take it one shot at a time. He puts me in my place. I’ll talk about the next tee shot, and he’s like, ‘No. This is the shot we’re going to focus on. Focus up. This is what we’re gonna do.’”

Charlie Woods and Tiger Woods last played together at the 2022 PNC Championship and will probably compete in the tournament in 2023.
