In a heartful message written for Father’s Day, amateur golfer Charlie Woods hinted that there may be some tension with his dad, Tiger Woods.
Charlie, 16, wrote a letter to Tiger in a video posted to the account of the American Junior Golf Association.
The son of Tiger and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren, Charlie and his sister Sam live in Palm Beach, Florida with their dad and attend The Benjamin School – where Charlie is on the golf team.
As images from Charlie’s recent AJGA win at the Team TaylorMade Invitational played, he narrated the message he wrote to his father.
‘Thank you, Dad, for believing in me in times when I didn’t even believe in myself, and for all the times when you have supported me no matter what I do,’ Charlie wrote.
‘Even though we argue a lot, I still cherish every moment and I would just like to say thank you for everything you have done for me.’

Charlie didn’t say exactly why he and his famous father argue – whether it’s typical teenage-related angst or if it could have something to do with golf.
Regardless, it’s a kind gesture from the up-and-coming golfer who saw his AJGA ranking jump from No. 606 to No. 14 after his TaylorMade win.
It’s been an eventful year for the Woods family after Tiger went public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump and Tiger’s mother, Kultida, passed away in February.
Tiger himself has been absent from the course after suffering an injury to his Achilles as he prepared for the Masters back in April. However, he was recently seen without a brace on his knee riding a golf cart while watching Charlie.
With The Open Championship coming up next month, it’s unclear if Tiger will have rehabbed his injury in time.
