In a recent sit-down with legendary golfer Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie, the 15-time major champ spoke on the joys of parenting and the bonding he and Charlie have been able to have through their shared passion of golf.
Though Woods notes their experiences wouldn’t be any less meaningful had his son chosen a different path.
I’m supporting him wherever he wants to go… then, obviously, providing opportunities for that direction. As a parent, our job and responsibility is to provide opportunity and support. It’s been fun that he’s taken a passion to something that I’ve enjoyed. But at the end of the day, the amount of time we’ve been able to spend together and the bonding that happens by being able to go out there and play golf… [it’s been good].
The golf world reacted to the Woods’ video on Twitter.
“Dad Tiger is the best Tiger,” a fan commented.
“Awesome,” said Butch Stearns
“I can’t imagine the unique pressure he’s going to have always being ‘Tiger’s kid’ in the world of golf,” another replied.
“All parents should hear this for their children, support your kids dreams, not your own for them! Let them drive and you help be there co-pilot, not their back seat driver!”
“What it’s all about!!” another tweeted.
Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes these two.
