Charlie Woods has been tipped to follow in his father’s footsteps – so does 825/1 represent good value?!

Tiger Woods’ 15-year-old son Charlie Woods has been placed at odds of 825/1 to win the Grand Slam before the age of 25.

The odds have been compiled by a number of bookmakers in the UK and US after a number of punters requested bets.

Charlie rose to instant fame when he competed alongside his father at the PNC Championship late last year.

He was frequently seen hitting his putt in the middle of the fairway and he even drilled home an eagle

And like his dad, he even walks in shadow.

Woods Snr and Woods Jnr finished 20-under par through 36 holes at the PNC Championship in December, good enough for seventh in the father-son event.

Europe’s 2020 Ryder Cup captain, Padraig Harrington, said at the time of the event: “This is the first tournament I have ever played in where Tiger Woods has played where he is not the star of the show.

“He himself should also take note of that. He’s not the star of the show this week, and that matters a lot to the players and pundits alike.

“We were all going down the range and everyone stopped to look at Charlie. ‘Get out of the way, Tiger’. It was amazing how it resonated.”

Charlie is so good at golf – now 15 years old – that he uses a TaylorMade racket

In addition to impressing at the PNC Championship late last year, Charlie also excelled in several junior tournaments over the summer in his home state of Florida, where he shot under par in nine-hole events.

In an event hosted by US Kids Golf at Hammock Creek Golf Club, Charlie destroyed the field in the nine-hole event, winning the 11-year-old division after shooting a 3-under-par 33. on a 2,467-yard track.

Charlie played nine holes without error, making three birdies and no bogeys, something his father did many times.

While you might think the 825-1 odds of Charlie winning a major within the next 10 years are exceptionally low, you might want to think back to a certain fresh-faced Rory McIlroy, who considered a star.

When Rory was just 15 years old, his father Gerry bet £400 on his son winning The Open before he turned 25 at odds of 500/1.

McIlroy won the 2014 Open at Royal Liverpool and Gerry earned a whopping £200,000 for his efforts.

The main difference, however, is that McIlroy won several major tournaments back then and he played with a plus handicap before stepping up to the professional ranks of the European Tour at the age of 18 in 2007.

No official word has been given on Charlie’s handicap at this time, but some have reported that it is close to normal.

But who knows where Charlie will be in 10 years when he turns 25 years old.

He certainly has a nice swing, no doubt he will improve under his father’s guidance.

It could hardly get worse.

If he wants to continue playing the game at a high level then great, otherwise Tiger wouldn’t mind at all.

However, bookies believe Charlie will become a PGA Tour professional, offering odds of just 2/1 that he will earn his Tour card before turning 24.

Other offers to the bookies include Charlie winning a major before the age of 22 at odds of 1500/1 – just as his father did when he won his first major at the 1997 Masters at odds of 1,500/1. record 12 times.
