Charlie Woods narrowly escapes chaos as Tiger looks on in tense Junior Orange Bowl moment
Charlie Woods quite literally dodged disaster in his opening round at the Junior Orange Bowl — and then calmly turned chaos into class.
The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods was left ducking for cover on Saturday when a recovery shot on the 11th struck a hidden root and fired almost straight back at him. Woods instantly dropped his club and shielded his face as the ball narrowly missed him, prompting gasps from the gallery at the historic Biltmore Golf Course in Florida.
It was a heart-stopping moment — but it didn’t rattle him.
Instead of unraveling, Woods regrouped, got himself safely onto the green and drained a long, pressure-packed putt to save par. The gallery erupted. Standing nearby, his father Tiger Woods could only shake his head in admiration.
“Hell of a shot,” Tiger told his son moments later, the pair laughing as they replayed the bizarre sequence.
