PAIGE SPIRANAC watched in awe as Tiger Woods and his 11-year-old son showed off their near-identical strokes at the PNC Championships this week.
Tiger and son Charlie are playing together in the team event at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Florida.
The golf world has been amazed by Charlie’s remarkable talent, reminiscent of his legendary father.
And Spiranac, 27, decided to share the video with her 380,000 Twitter followers, such was her admiration for the talent on show.
When one clip emerged of the young prodigy taking a swing by himself, she wrote: “Charlie Woods is a mini Tiger”.
And another video of the father-son duo swinging in near synchronicity was even more impressive.
She added: “This is wild”.
Ahead of the father-son event, fifteen-time major champion Woods said last month: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be playing with Charlie in our first official tournament together.
“It’s been great watching him progress as a junior golfer and it will be incredible playing as a team together in the PNC Championship.”
Europe’s Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington is also in the field, alongside the likes of John Daly, Bernhard Langer, Gary Player, Greg Norman and Annika Sorenstam.
