Charlie was spotted using a golf club as a training aid to help his 48-year-old father work on his swing prior to the fourth round.
Charlie held a club in front of his famous father in a drill seemingly meant to either limit swaying in dad’s movement, or help make sure Tiger’s swing stayed inside rather than over the top. Woods has been playing a left-to-right cut shot off the tee almost exclusively this week.

On Friday, Woods accomplished a Masters first by making the cut for a record-setting 24th consecutive time. The weekend, however, hasn’t been kind for the legendary golfer.
On Saturday, the 15-time major winner made eight bogeys, two double-bogeys and just two birdies in the third round. It all added up to a 10-over 82. Sunday was another challenge, and Tiger opened his final round with a front nine three-over par 39 to fall to 15-over for the week.

Asked on Saturday what the biggest challenge was on a firm and fast Augusta National, Woods preferred to look within.
“The fact that I was not hitting it very good or putting well,” he said after his round. “I didn’t have a very good warmup session, and I kept it going all day today. Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it. And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makeable putts. I missed a lot of them.”
Maybe another set of Woods family eyes can get him back on track.
