Tiger Woods was spotted rooting for his 15-year-old Charlie at the US Junior Amateur Championship after failing to make the cut at the Open, although he wasn’t allowed to caddie for his son.
The 48-year-old was in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, on Monday for the start of the tournament, as he watched Charlie tee off. The teen began the day with three straight pars, according to reports.
Tiger – a 15-time major winner – walked with large galleries on hand to watch his son, as he’s not permitted to caddie due to a specific rule by the US Golf Association (USGA).
The rule states that ‘a player must not use a parent, step-parent, or guardian as a caddie during qualifying or the Championship proper.’
Therefore, Charlie’s teammate Luke Wise will handle bag duties at the ticketless event.
