Charlie Woods hints at tension with dad Tiger in Father's Day message amid Vanessa Trump romance
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 - who Daily Mail exclusively revealed this year is in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, Donald's ex-daughter-in-law - 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 Junior Golf 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 teenage 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.
That announcement came 10 days after DailyMail.com exclusively broke the news that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife.
Alongside two pictures of the loved-up couple, Woods wrote: 'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.
'At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.'
The couple have the blessing of the President, with Trump himself saying he was happy when he learned that they had become an item.
'He told me about it, and I said, 'Tiger, that's good, that's good. I'm very, happy for both.' But they just let them both be happy. Let them both be happy. They're both great,' Trump said.
'I love Tiger and I love Vanessa. He and I have a very special, very good relationship with Tiger. I played golf with him a couple of times over the last month, and he's a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.'
The relationship has the blessing of the president - Trump paid tribute to the pair of them
Additionally, Tiger's mother, Kultida, passed away in February - a devastating blow as the matriarch of the Woods family died at the age of 80.
'At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.'
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.

Taylor Ward hit a two-run single while Zach Neto and Luis Rengifo each had two hits for the Angels, who posted shutouts in consecutive games against the Yankees for the first time since May 12-13, 1999. Hendricks (5-6) permitted four hits and a walk while striking out nine. New York slugger Aaron Judge struck out three times and his average dropped to .372 -- the fourth time in five games that he had fanned three times. Yankees rookie Will Warren (4-4) allowed three runs in six innings but struck out a career-high 11. Braves 5, Mets 4 (10 innings) Austin Riley's long sacrifice fly to center field scored automatic runner Luke Williams with the winning run in the 10th inning to give Atlanta a come-from-behind win over visiting New York.

Tyrone Taylor hit a home run and two-run double for New York. Juan Soto hit a 412-foot solo homer in the first inning, his 14th homer of the season. David Peterson worked seven strong innings but was lifted after allowing the first two batters to reach in the eighth. He was charged with three runs on five hits, three walks and three strikeouts. Guardians 3, Giants 2 Gabriel Arias' sixth-inning home run spoiled Rafael Devers' San Francisco debut and delivered a win to visiting Cleveland. Arias' double and homer were two of the Guardians' six hits. Slade Cecconi (2-3) went five innings, during which he allowed two runs and four hits. He walked three and struck out six. Arias' homer came off Giants starter Robbie Ray (8-2) after the Guardians had rallied into a 2-2 tie two innings earlier on an RBI single by Carlos Santana. Ray was pulled after the sixth, charged with all three Cleveland runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out five. Acquired over the weekend from the Boston Red Sox, Devers went 2-for-5.

Emilio Pagan worked around two walks to pitch a scoreless ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances.

Expert reveals conversation habits that make people instantly hate you - including how you take compliments
Many people are guilty of five common habits that will make others instantly dislike them, according to a video by YouTube channel Charisma on Command. One of these key habits people should avoid, according to the clip, is jumping on every opportunity to call praise or attention to themselves. The video claims that if people do find themselves the subject of praise, a great way to handle this is to spread that praise to others. To illustrate the point, the video highlighted an interview from several years ago with Brie Larson and Chris Hemsworth. While the actress is popular with many thanks to her dry humour and sense of irony - something the video narrator pointed out - he suggested that her communication during this interchange may not have read well with the audience. 'I want to make this clear, there are interviews that I can show you where Brie is extremely likeable,' the video was keen to stress. During the Entertainment Tonight interview, in which the actors were promoting the movie Avengers: Endgame. According to the video: 'Chris Hemsworth is talking up his stunt double, and he's putting himself down to do it. This is a nice common move for somebody who is kind of on top. 'And in this case, Hemsworth is clearly athletic and powerful and famous. So it's kind of him to take that trainer and put him above him, even if it means denigrating himself.' The narrator added: 'The charismatic move, the confident move, is to spread the praise. Don't worry so much if you're getting yours. When you give it freely, it comes back to you freely.' According to the video, in this situation, in contrast to her many interviews in which she has come across as very likeable, during this conversation, noted that she did all her own stunts thinking 'this is what everyone does'. While the narrator noted this may have been an ironic comment that didn't quite land with the audience, the situation deteriorated when Tom Cruise was highlighted as an actor who does their own stunts, and it was suggested that Brie could be the next Tom Cruise. She commented that she would rather be 'the first me, not the next Tom Cruise'. A number of viewers agreed with the point, and went on to share their own thoughts in the comments section of the video. One wrote: 'Constantly redirecting the conversation on yourself makes people not want to talk to you.' Meanwhile, others revealed that they found this type of advice useful as they often struggled with how to behave. One YouTube user said: 'Watching these videos always reminds me how hard social life is. Another said: 'As a person with Aspergers who doesn't know how to converse. I think this channel is really helpful.' Meanwhile, another offered a suggestion as to why behaviours can somehow come across differently than intended. They wrote: 'One thing I've noticed about popular, successful people is that they rarely if ever seem to be triggered in public anyway. My guess is they either had stable, loving childhoods or have done trauma work. If you have unresolved trauma certain social things can be massively distressing and will trigger a trauma response, which most people won't understand and will interpret negatively. Brie seems either triggered from past put downs/abuse/bullying or she's trying to be funny and it's falling flat.' The video listed a number of other habits than can be off putting to other people, and are therefore worth trying to avoid during interactions. A number of viewers commented on how it can be difficult to know how they are coming across in social situations Among them were reading negative intent in an ambiguous situation, or in other words, assuming that when a comment is made, it is designed to insult. However, the next point related to this, with the video pointing out that sometimes when a person responds to a comment in a way that appears they took it as an insult, they can actually be just trying to be sarcastic. The narrator pointed out that 'sarcasm requires a "tell" - and noted there could be cultural differences when it comes to how sarcasm is communicated. He explained: 'I know that British people are going to hate this recommendation, but at least in America, a good rule of thumb is that when you are being tongue in cheek, do not be flat in your delivery. '[This is] especially if a literal interpretation of what you're saying would make you sound like a jerk. 'Go over the top and change your tone, your gestures or your facial expressions. This helps people distinguish between normal conversation and a character that you are playing for the purpose of joke.' Moving on, he suggested that people should 'not try to win every moment of banter' if they don't want to risk coming across as unlikeable. When banter can start to feel like a fight, he said: 'Sometimes it is better to stop fighting. Don't try to win every laugh from the audience. Instead, go with the joke, even if it feels like you are the butt of that joke, and then amplify it, not taking this kind of insulting joke seriously. 'You diffuse its power, and you turn the crowd from laughing at you to laughing with you.' The final of the five behaviours that can make people dislike others handling compliments improperly. 'You should avoid responding to compliments with banter that are put downs in nature,' the video said. 'Instead, you can give a sincere thank you, emphasised perhaps with sustained eye contact or a touch [...] Alternatively, you can spin it back around to the other person and playfully find a way to give them back an even bigger compliment.. It concluded: 'Whatever you do, do not punish people when they give you compliments. Otherwise, they will not be so forthcoming. When in doubt, a sincere thank you and a smile or just to return a compliment will take you much farther.'
