Tiger Woods' Son Charlie Reacts to Spectator's Camera Noise During Backswing in Trending Video - Bleacher Report

What the report says

Bleacher Report said Charlie Woods, the 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods, was involved in a widely shared moment at the U.S. Junior Championship on Wednesday after a spectator’s camera shutter sounded during his backswing. The incident occurred on the first hole of a playoff, as Woods tried to recover from the rough and keep alive his chance of advancing.

According to the report, Woods was part of a 14-player playoff in which only two competitors would move on to the match-play stage of the championship. The camera noise came during his third shot. Bleacher Report said the shot went off line, and Woods later tried to hole a 35-yard chip for birdie but missed before two-putting for bogey.

That bogey ended Woods’ tournament, because two players from earlier groups had already made birdies on the opening playoff hole. The episode drew attention in part because of the comparison to his father, who has had high-profile reactions to camera noise during competition, including at the 2014 Open Championship.

Bleacher Report noted that this was Charlie Woods’ third straight appearance in the U.S. Junior Championship. The outlet also reported that he is expected to join the Florida State men’s golf program in 2027. The moment adds to the public scrutiny around Woods as he continues competing in junior golf while carrying one of the sport’s most recognizable family names.
