They say they are like father and son. But in the case Charlie and Tiger Woods, the similarities on the fairway is striking.
They teamed up for the PNC Championship, which pits parents and offspring together for the second year running.
The PNC Championship was won by 12-year-old Charlie Woods.
Charlie was the star of this tournament, even though the focus was on Tiger's return to the game.
It was supposed be about Tiger's return back to golf, only 10 months after his horror car accident left him in bed.
Charlie, 12-years-old, stole the show instead. He outdid his father with an amazing display that amazed fans.
They finished second to John Daly's son Little John but Charlie was a clear star.
GOLF PRODIGY
Last year, Charlie was described as a prodigy golfer like his father.
It's his DNA, his father being the man he is. Tiger's niece Cheyenne Woods, however, is also a pro.
He won the nine-hole children's tournament last year by five strokes.
Charlie's stunning three-under 33 tournament round at Hammock Creek Golf Club, Palm City, Florida was viralized. He shot three birdies and none bogeys.
He chose his elderly man as his caddie.
Tiger said to GolfTV that his son is getting into golf and starting to learn how to play.
"He asks me the right questions. It's been a great experience to just be there with him.
It reminds me of my dad and me growing up."
Charlie Woods has been winning junior tournaments
since 2020.

UNCANNY REEMBLANCE
One thing was certain when Charlie appeared on the scene last year. Charlie had the same mannerisms and personality as his father.
Mini Tiger was a chip from the old block, as he was seen twirling the club to the same fist pump. Their swings look the same.
His father's tutelage has been a great help, and Justin Thomas's dad Mike also has some wise advice.
Charlie's handicap is not known, but it is believed to be around the scratch mark.
Many betting firms are already placing bets that he will win the Major at 22. The odds of winning are 1500-1.
It might be worth it to gamble on Tiger winning the 1997 Masters at 21.
When they play
, the Woods have similar mannerisms.

A STAR TURN
The Woods family has had a difficult year.
Tiger survived a terrible car accident in Los Angeles in February but his professional golf career remains uncertain.
He said he was fortunate not to have lost a limb in the accident, and it was obvious he is still recovering as he smiled at the Ritz-Carlton golf club in Orlando, Florida.
It was also obvious how Charlie's game had improved since last year’s appearance at the PNC Championship.
He enlisted the assistance of Brad Faxon, a putting expert, to help him before the tournament. It was evident that he had made great strides.
With an amazing 11 birdies in succession in the final round, The Woods set a tournament record.
Charlie was not distracted once by the cheers or the fury around him.
He was focused and displayed a tunnel-vision demeanour that reminded him of his father.
He pulled off some impressive shots, including clutch putts and bomb drives as well as laser approaches. This shows that he is a versatile player.

Charlie Woods, 12 years old, is determined to follow the father Tiger's footsteps.
They finished second by two strokes at 25 under par, just behind John Daly and his son.
Tiger said that he was just happy and thankful to be able do this.
Charlie, the preteen wonderkid that seems destined to the PGA Tour, was the one who really deserved the day.
