Tiger Woods has enlisted the help of his son, Charlie, to serve as a swing consultant for the 2024 U.S. Open.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Woods explained that Charlie has "seen me hit more golf balls than anyone" and trusts him to provide the support he needs.
Tiger and Charlie have been putting work already at Pinehurst Resort leading up to the start of the tournament on Thursday.
They were together when Tiger played a practice round with Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler on Monday.
Charlie has received a Player Support credential that allows for instructors, interpreters or trainers/medical support to be with a player for a tournament.
Tiger and Charlie have frequently been seen on the golf course together. They have teamed up in the PNC Championship four different times, finishing second in 2021.
Charlie has had a strong amateur career already, including helping the Benjamin School win the Florida High School Athletic Association Class A state championship in 2023 as a freshman.
Tiger is playing in the U.S. Open for the first time in four years. He most recently played the PGA Championship last month but missed the cut after finishing seven-over par in two rounds.
The 2024 U.S. Open will tee off on Thursday. Tiger's group includes Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris. They will begin play at 7:29 a.m. ET on the 10th hole.
