Golf World Convinced Charlie Woods Is the Next Jordan Spieth as 16-Year-Old Turns Heads at Florida Event

Charlie Woods is finally showing that he is Tiger Woods’s son after all, bouncing back in style after failing to qualify for the US Open earlier this month. The 16-year-old missed out on local qualifying for the prestigious tournament for the second year running, posting a three-over 75 at Wellington Golf Club on May 8, seven shots short of advancing to the 36-hole final stage. Despite this setback, Charlie’s determination and talent are evident, especially considering he’s one of a record 10,202 entries for the US Open.

However, Charlie turned his disappointment into determination with a solid performance in the first round of the Team TaylorMade Invitational on Monday. At the Streamsong Resort’s Black Course in Bowling Green, Florida, Woods Jr. delivered a rollercoaster round featuring an eagle, eight birdies, five bogeys, a triple bogey, and just three pars on par-three holes.

He shot a 2-under 70, which put him tied for 13th in a field of 72 players, only three shots off the lead held by Tyler Watts and Luke Colton, who both carded impressive 5-under 67s. With this strong showing, Charlie Woods demonstrates the mental fortitude to overcome setbacks and pursue his ambitions despite the immense pressure of being Tiger Woods’ son.

Tiger, with three US Open titles among his 15 professional majors, undoubtedly had a storied career, but Charlie’s own journey is unfolding, and the golf world is ready to witness the greatness in the making. And well, they have spotted an eerily similar quality in Woods Jr. that one of the PGA Tour pro possess.

Netizens cannot help but notice that Charlie Woods is Jordan Spieth in many ways

Starting off strong with what one fan said, “Crazy way to learn that he’s actually Jordan Spieth’s son”, while the other wrote, “Jordan Spieth is that you???.” And one just simply changed Charlie’s nickname to “Speith Jr!” Well, we can understand where the golf fans are coming from. Charlie’s chaotic gameplay at the tournament is definitely similar to what everyone’s been seeing over the years with Jordan Spieth, and the latest example was seen at the 2025 Players Championship, where Jordan Spieth had a wild start, collecting two eagles, two birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey in his first nine holes, ultimately finishing at T59 with a 4 over par.

Spieth’s round featured some thrilling moments, including chipping in from a greenside bunker for an eagle at the par-5 11th hole and another eagle at the par-5 16th hole. Even Spieth has expressed his preference for a more consistent game, saying, “I feel like I’d like it to be boring”.  One fan took the conversation away from the comparison as they acknowledged the significant growth Charlie has shown in the past few weeks. “Kids getting better. This card has lots of potential”, while the other wrote, “He’s slowly gotten so solid.” 

Well, that is a sentiment even the GOAT shares. Tiger Woods has high praise for his son Charlie, saying, “He has gotten better at every facet of the game… I think it’s incredible what he’s been able to accomplish so far, and the ceiling that he has is unlimited,” as he played alongside Charlie at the PNC Championship, where they carded a 15-under 57 to finish runner-up to Bernhard and Jason Langer. This glowing endorsement from one of golf’s all-time greats speaks volumes about Charlie’s potential and rapid improvement in the sport. So, what are your thoughts on Charlie’s potential?
