Tiger Woods is not just praised for his golfing legacy but for being a father who has supported his children through thick and thin. Recently, Woods was spotted cheering on Charlie at the Florida State Amateur Championship.
It was right after Charlie's AJGA victory, a breakthrough moment for the 16-year-old, finishing at 15-under 201 for his first AJGA title.

After the win, he couldn't help but say: "Now I can say I have one, and Dad can't say I don't; that definitely helps in the argument between him and I."
But it looks like that was not the only message the 16-year old had for his father.
On Sunday, AJGA revealed Charlie's pened message to 15x major winner Tiger Woods.
"Thank you, Dad, for believing in me in times where I didn't even believe in myself, and for all the times where you have supported me no matter what I do."
Charlie added, "Even though we argue a lot, I still cherish every moment, and I would just like to say, thank you for everything you've done for me."
But their bond goes beyond golf.
Tiger's children have been his biggest source of strength, especially during one of the saddest moments of his life—the passing of his mother, Kultida Woods, earlier this year.
Tiger was heartbroken, sharing how close Sam and Charlie were to their grandmother. "She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you all for your support, prayers, and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family."
Their relationship was on full display during the TGL's inaugural season all well. Tiger was facing Atlanta Drive GC in the final match and Charlie was right there, supporting his father from the stands.
Interestingly one unforgettable moment was Tiger spotting Charlie eating chicken fingers mid-match and playfully asking for one.
"Chicken Fingers? Give me one. Just throw me one," he said, and Charlie happily passed one over. A simple, lighthearted moment that showed their genuine connection.
"Chicken fingers? Give me one. Just throw me one." 😂

Not only this but Tiger has always been Charlie's biggest cheerleader.
During last year's PNC Championship last year, Charlie posted a hole-in-one, and no one celebrated harder than Tiger, who hugged his son in pure joy.
Now, on Father's Day, it was Charlie's turn to give back.
His message was a reminder that, beyond the trophies and accolades, family is what truly matters.

What does it take to play Bethpage Black, this year's Ryder Cup venue? A Colorado golfer traveled to find out.
Bethpage Black is not only one of the best and most demanding golf courses in the world, it's public. One of the rare public tracks that has what it takes to host golf's best. The course at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York, has hosted several U.S. Opens, including a Tiger Woods victory in 2002.

CLARY/AFP via Getty Images Now this beacon of public golf will host the Ryder Cup. Well I couldn't pass up an opportunity to play the course that will host the biennial competition between the U.S. and Europe. Getting to the Big Apple was the easy part. Securing a coveted tee time? Much more effort. My son and I had to show up the day before and be prepared to sleep in our car for a chance to play The Black. The 411 yard par 4, 18th hole on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York, in 2005. David Cannon / Getty Images We arrived at Bethpage State park at 4:30 p.m. on a Thursday and were the fourth car in line. By 10:30 p.m. on Thursday night, 16 cars were parked with the occupants ready to hunker down for a not-so-good night's sleep. Bright and early at 4:30 a.m. on Friday, a state park worker knocks on your car window and gives each occupant a ticket that they can turn in to get a tee time. Then you proceed to the pro shop to secure your time. We signed up for 8:50 a.m. When you arrive at the first tee you're greeting by a warning sign. It resembles the kind you might see before embarking on a double black diamond run at a Colorado ski resort. It reads, "Warning! The Black course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend for highly skilled golfers only." So we tee'd off wondering if we had what it takes to be a highly skilled golfer. Surprisingly, my son and I fared better than expected. We were paired with a couple local residents who played the black course often. "How do you think a couple guys from Denver did our here today?" I asked Todd Bass, a local Long Island golfer. "Not bad," he replied. "You guys came from the West Coast and spent much of your day in the sand."

"No, we live like 5 minutes away so we have the upper hand," Todd said. "Do you think it's worth it for people to sleep out in the cars to secure a tee time at the Black course?' I asked. "No question," said Todd. "Bring a steak, a good bottle of something and come hang out."

Toto Wolff Drops Bombshell After Canadian GP: 'We Need to Learn Why It Worked'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Getting the first win of the season, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff spoke about the team's surprise performance and victory at the Canadian Grand Prix. Mercedes delivered a package worthy of a race win, and driver George Russell brought the victory home with an impressive drive. Andrea Kimi Antonelli notched the first podium of his young career, showing the Mercedes was strong overall for both drivers. For most of the season, Russell extracted the maximum performance of the car, which typically was only good for, at best, a podium position. The car tended to be the second fastest on the grid most weekends, a tenth or two away from the McLaren. Russell stepped up this season, taking on the role as team leader and performing at the highest level imaginable. His driving has matched the best on the grid and was worthy of getting the chance at a win. Mercedes CEO and Team Principal Toto Wolff arrives for the team photo during the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 15, 2025 in Montreal, Canada.

Photo by Kym Illman/Getty Wolff, one of the fiercest competitors in F1, remains hungry for success, trying to propel the racing team to its former glory. Sunday's win symbolized a step in the right direction for the previously dominant team. "Yeah, it was a very good day and some learning also because, you know, that wasn't a lucky victory or strategic victory," Wolff told Sky Sports after the race. "It was all tires. George controlled the race in the front, no mistakes from the team. "And then obviously Kimi performed under pressure. Yeah, it was brilliant." Mercedes showed immense pace, improved tire wear, and the capability to handle dirty air well. At different stages of the season, the car's potential showed itself, but in Canada, the W16 put all of the pieces together. Wolff and co. are tasked with figuring out what clicked into gear at the track. "Yeah, I mean, we've obviously benefited a little bit of the McLarens fighting each other for Kimi because the left front was a bit finished already," Wolff added. "But as you say, it was really, really strong. And now we need to learn what is it that makes it so strong this weekend. "Is it the track characteristics? Is it the smooth asphalt? Many, many things to develop. "But, you know, we banked this one. Tick the box. Monkeys off the back." The next stop for Formula 1 is in Austria on June 30th, giving the team a couple of weeks to find out what unlocked performance in the car. As long as Russell continues to deliver and Antonelli grows more comfortable in F1, Mercedes might start to turn things around in a more permanent fashion.

LeBron James Offers Big Update on Potential NBA Coaching Plans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As the offseason gets going, the biggest question around the Los Angeles Lakers remains what the future holds for star forward LeBron James. James is eligible to enter free agency by declining his player option for next season. Nobody really knows what James will do, but there has been some thought that he will opt into the $52.6 million deal. James has hinted at retirement in each of the past few offseasons, and if this upcoming year is his last, opting in would make the most sense. But either way, James isn't likely to play in the NBA for much longer. However, there have been questions about whether or not he could coach in the league after his retirement. Well, James has answered that question, opening up on the subject during a recent episode of his podcast, 'Mind the Game'. "There's no way. There's no way, it ain't happening. No chance" Sorry y'all, LeBron's never coaching. A new mailbag episode drops tomorrow answering all your questions, 9am ET.
