Charlie Woods’s Mistreatment Leaves Paige Spiranac Boiling With Rage; Attacks ‘Constant Media Coverage’ in Latest Tweet

Charlie Woods can do with a lot fewer eyes on him. None other than Paige Spiranac, the celebrity influencer, feels so. The 30-year-old golf beauty took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her dissatisfaction. The younger Woods failed in his bid to qualify for a PGA Tour event. But the matter was made worse because of an undue amount of attention lavished on the 15-year-old.

Spiranac feels the golf world needs to cut him some slack. “How about we let Charlie Woods develop his game without constant media coverage. Golf is mentally challenging enough without all the added eyeballs on him and pressure.” Woods Jr. carded 16 over 86 in the first round of the pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic (earlier known as the Honda Classic). The top five players and ties advanced to the Monday qualifying round of the tournament.

The 15-year-old, who has regularly appeared with his father, Tiger Woods, at the PNC Championship, started his round with an 11-over 47 in the front nine. But a costly 12 on the par-4 seventh hole sealed his fate. Although Charlie Woods made 11 pars, that wasn’t enough to save the day, which also included two bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine.

His round was closely monitored, with every shot being put under the scanner on social media. Paige Spiranac feels it’s not right to put that much pressure on a 15-year-old golfer, especially when it was technically a qualifier for a qualifier event and stated, “It was a pre qualifier for the Monday qualifier. A lot of juniors play in pre quals and Mondays for experience. It’s not uncommon at all.”

Teenage Woods’s swing was a matter of much debate, considering how closely it resembles his father’s. Moreover, Woods Jr. bombed a 300-yard drive at the 2023 PNC Championship and has been winning silverware for his school as well. All that led to huge anticipation around Charlie Woods. Notably, it wasn’t just the media coverage that Woods Jr. had to battle, as on-ground reports revealed an ugly show from the spectators.

Unruly fans add to the woe of Charlie Woods
First off, Tiger Woods wasn’t there; the 15-time Major Champion recently withdrew from the Genesis Invitational, a tournament he hosts, with flu that later turned out to be influenza. Mother Elin Nordegren was present though. So there were around 50 fans tagging the 15-year-old, completely disregarding requests from field marshals. The Palm Beach Post reported that one fan even retorted, “Who are you? The fire marshal?”
