00:00 We just stay in our own little world,
00:01 and we just take it one shot at a time.
00:03 -Tiger Woods was by his son Charlie's side
00:06 for his latest impressive golf win.
00:07 The 14-year-old was the champion of the boys' 14-15 division
00:11 at the Last Chance Regional on September 24th
00:14 and advanced to the note of the Gay III
00:15 Junior Golf National Championship.
00:17 The victory was made all the more special by the fact
00:19 that Tiger caddied for Charlie on the course.
00:21 After his win, Charlie spoke about how great it was
00:24 to have his dad there.
00:25 -I mean, it's great. We just stay in our own little world,
00:27 and we just take it one shot at a time.
00:29 -The teen also shared how Tiger helped him
00:31 stay focused on the green.
00:33 -He puts me in my place.
00:34 I mean, he's like, "I'll talk about the next tee shot."
00:37 He's like, "No.
00:39 This is the shot we're gonna focus on, focus up.
00:42 This is what we're gonna do."
00:43 -Charlie will now play in the championship tournament
00:45 in Louisiana in November.
00:47 He reflected on how it felt to earn his spot
00:49 and beat his score from last year while doing so.
00:52 -It feels good.
00:53 Shooting 68 last year, and I followed up with 66 this year.
00:58 I mean, honestly, this course is great for me.
01:01 -Tiger has caddied for Charlie
01:02 at multiple tournaments in the past,
01:04 and the two have even played together
01:06 at the PNC Championship,
01:07 in which golf pros team up with their family members.
01:09 The event makes for some fun family competition
01:11 between Tiger and his pals in the golf world,
01:13 including Justin Thomas, who has played with his dad, Mike.
01:17 Back in 2022, Justin told Access Hollywood's Kit Hoover
01:20 about his friendship with Tiger
01:21 and getting to spend time with him and Charlie.
01:24 -He called you the little brother he's never had.
01:27 He would have, you know, told me when I was 9 or 10 years old
01:31 that Tiger Woods would be referring to me
01:33 as a little brother at some point in my life.
01:35 I probably wouldn't believe you.
01:36 -Tiger and his 12-year-old son Charlie are like family
01:39 to the 28-year-old PGA champ.
01:42 Justin has been at Tiger's side over the last year
01:44 as he recovers from his February 2021 car wreck.
01:47 -We get along. We needle each other.
01:49 We're straight up with each other.
01:50 We're not there to pump each other up
01:53 and sugarcoat anything, you know.
01:55 We're gonna tell it exactly like it is.
01:57 -I love watching you with your dad play with Tiger and Charlie.
02:02 Was there some heckling going on out there that I didn't see?
02:05 -Yeah, I mean, there's quite a bit of heckling,
02:07 but it's all in good fun.
02:09 -Turns out little Charlie is the best trash-talker of all.
02:12 -He's learning from the best of the best.
