Charlie Woods' golf game quickly went viral on social media earlier this summer when he won back-to-back junior tournaments.

He battered a field by five strokes with a 3-under par round in a local 9-hole tournament, and then went and shot 1-under par to win by three strokes in another 9-hole tournament in South Florida just a week later.

Take a closer look at the swing of Charlie Woods below:

During Charlie's first victory, he had the luxury of having his Dad caddie for him, something that Tiger likes to do when he can.

Tiger was a little preoccupied playing in The Northern Trust, the first of three FedEd Cup play-offs, for the second tournament. Woods shot a 6-under par final round to finish tied 58th that week.

In a recent interview with Golf Digest and GOLFTV, Woods had this to say about his son's potential:

“I’m still winning … for now,” Woods said. “He’s starting to get into it. He’s starting to understand how to play. He’s asking me the right questions. I’ve kept it competitive with his par, so it’s been just an absolute blast to go out there and just be with him. It reminds me so much of me and my dad [growing up].”

Woods was then asked if Charlie could break any of his father's records, to which Woods replied: “I don’t know. It depends how bad he wants it. It’s all on him. I wanted it at a very, very early age. I wanted to compete and play in this game. That’s on him—whether he wants it or not.”

Tiger, who presented the Green Jacket to Dustin Johnson, finished tied 38th at The Masters last week and his final round of 76 included a shocking 10 at the iconic par-3 12th hole.
