Charlie Woods defended by golf fans after viral post attacks Tiger’s son over on-course incident

Charlie Woods came in for unfair criticism after a popular golf account posted a clip of his reaction to a missed putt.

NUCLR GOLF reposted a viral video on X of Tiger's son failing to hole out before dropping his club and putting his hands on his head in frustration.

It was a completely normal reaction for amateur and professional golfers alike, but the narrator in the video called Woods Jr. “spoiled and entitled” and questioned his upbringing.

However, the vast majority of replies came to the 17-year-old's defense.

"Leave the kid alone. I've done worse (at his age) and seen worse from much older men who should know better," wrote one.

"Such a strange thing to post about a child," added another.

"Who is this guy narrating? Never played a day of competitive golf in his life," a third posted.

"This narrator has a woods problem," a fourth suggested.

Charlie is always going to be in the spotlight due to his dad's impact on the game, but he is a teenager and deserves to be given some space to develop.

You will see worse reactions on the PGA Tour week in, week out. Even Scottie Scheffler slammed his club at the BMW Championship earlier this year and got into it with his caddie Ted Scott.

It's just part and parcel of a competitive sport and Scott clearly doesn't hold a grudge as he praises Scheffler, who has made him millions of dollars, at every chance he gets.

Charlie Woods set for lucrative college run

Thankfully, Charlie put the miss behind him at the Junior Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass and recorded a career-best tie for eighth.

Charlie has committed to Florida State for 2027 and recently signed an NIL deal with TaylorMade.

"Woods joins TaylorMade’s elite roster of amateur golfers including his future college teammate & WAGR No. 5 Miles Russell, U.S. Women’s Amateur winner Asterisk Talley, NCAA Team Champion Logan Reilly & more."

Woods Jr. added: "Having TaylorMade in my corner has been great. They’ve supported me a lot over the last year, and I’m really excited to officially be part of Team TaylorMade. So many great players have been a part of this team, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead."
