Charlie and Tiger Have Same Swing

This is the ultimate “like father, like son” situation.

We already brought you videos of Tiger Woods and his son Charlie warming up ahead of the 2020 PNC Championship, and it was just the best, a father and his kid just hitting golf balls, twirling their clubs and admiring their beautiful shots.

If you thought their swings looked really similar, well, you’d be right. There are videos floating around on Twitter of the two of them swinging together and it really is eerie how alike the two styles are.

Here are a couple of them, and it’s really amazing to watch:

Eddie Pepperell, the 33-year-old English golfer renowned for his candid demeanor and sharp wit, has been a notable presence on the DP World Tour. After securing two tour victories in 2018, his career faced challenges, leading him back to the Qualifying School (Q School) in 2024—a path he hadn’t traversed since 2016.

Early Career and Rise

Pepperell’s ascent in professional golf was marked by his victories at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and the Sky Sports British Masters in 2018. These achievements elevated him to a career-high 32nd in the Official World Golf Ranking, showcasing his potential to compete among the elite.

Challenges and Return to Q School

Despite his early successes, Pepperell’s subsequent seasons were inconsistent. In 2024, after narrowly missing the top 114 in the Race to Dubai Rankings, he returned to Q School at INFINITUM, aiming to regain his tour card. Embracing the six-round “ironman” challenge, he expressed optimism about the opportunity to refine his game.

Recent Performance

Pepperell’s determination was evident at the Mauritius Open, where he led after the first round with a six-under-par 66, including birdies on four of the last five holes. Reflecting on his performance, he noted, “After bogeying the second hole I was worried it was going to be one of those Thursdays again. But I turned it around really nicely and played very well to be honest. So I’m very pleased.”

Pepperell’s journey underscores the resilience required in professional golf. His recent performances suggest a potential resurgence, and his candid reflections continue to endear him to fans. As he strives to regain full status on the DP World Tour, the golfing community remains attentive to his progress.

As the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson heads into its final day, golf fans are eagerly anticipating an electrifying finish. The tournament has already delivered high-stakes competition and plenty of nail-biting moments, with the field of contenders showcasing both resilience and finesse throughout the week.

After three rounds of spectacular golf, Keith Mitchell enters the final day leading the pack at 20-under par, with Beau Hossler right on his heels at 19-under. Mitchell, whose only PGA Tour win came more than five years ago at the Honda Classic, faces a critical moment on Sunday as he aims for his second title. He was flawless on Saturday, carding a bogey-free 7-under 65 to climb to the top, but he knows Sunday will be a true test of nerves and skill.

“Tomorrow is a completely new day,” Mitchell stated after his round. “Last group. Been there before and failed a bunch on Sundays in the last group. I’m hoping I can learn from those mistakes.” Whether Mitchell can hold his composure and deliver a steady final round remains to be seen, but fans are excited to see if he can secure the victory.

Beau Hossler, searching for his first PGA Tour victory, will be applying pressure throughout the day, keeping Mitchell in his sights. Hossler’s performance so far has been marked by a series of strong rounds, but a crucial double bogey on the par-4 12th hole on Saturday set him back. Despite the setback, Hossler remains just one shot behind Mitchell at 19-under par. His determination and strong play make it evident that a breakthrough win may not be far off for the 29-year-old.

The final round also promises notable performances from several other players, adding to the intensity of the event. Kevin Yu is currently in third place at 18-under, after an impressive birdie streak on the back nine during Saturday’s round. Meanwhile, Bud Cauley, Lucas Glover, and Jacob Bridgeman are all tied for fourth at 16-under. Each of these players has shown tremendous fight, and the final round could see anyone emerge as a challenger.

Hayden Springer, who began the tournament as somewhat of an underdog, has turned heads with his exceptional play throughout the week. The TCU alum is tied for sixth, marking one of his best performances on the PGA Tour. Springer’s rise up the leaderboard exemplifies the competitive depth of this year’s field.

One of the highlights of the championship so far has been David Skinns’s course-record 60 during the first round. Though Skinns has struggled to maintain his initial momentum, currently tied for 44th, his performance on Thursday will be remembered as one of the standout moments of the tournament.

As Sunday approaches, Keith Mitchell will need to display the confidence and determination required to close out a win against a talented field. He will need to play calculated golf, understanding when to take risks and when to be conservative. The final round is set to be a thrilling showdown, with Mitchell, Hossler, and the rest of the contenders all striving to make their mark.

Whether Mitchell can capture the Sanderson Farms Championship trophy or if one of the chasing pack will rise to the occasion is still uncertain. For fans, the anticipation is building, and all eyes are on the Country Club of Jackson as the final chapter of this year’s tournament unfolds. The 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship has already provided an exhilarating showcase of high-caliber golf, and the final day promises even more drama and excitement.

Stay tuned as we await the final results and see who will emerge victorious in this thrilling battle for the Sanderson Farms Championship title.
