“It’s just insanity, and he deals with it every day. He has to go out and play, um, it’s a lot of that, he sort of like dealt with that, and he just sort of made peace with it…Stepping into that circle, man, it’s like being inside a tornado,” said Hunter Mayhem, PGA Tour Pro and recent guest on the Par 3 Podcast with J.R. Smith & Stephen Malbon on YouTube. “It’s wild, and as a player, you’re used to being in control, but when you’re playing with Tiger, or in Charlie’s case, being his son, it’s a whole different story.”
Tiger Woods has spoken publicly about the chaos that surrounds him on the course and how he’s had to “make peace” with it over the years. Now, Charlie is facing the same issue, with crowds and cameras following his every move. Mayhem noted that Charlie’s frustration is palpable, saying, “It’s like, who are you, and why are you telling me what to do? I’m just trying to play my game, but it’s hard when everyone’s staring at you.”
