Rare footage of Tiger Woods’ son Charlie in action on the golf course has revealed a swing reminiscent of his legendary father.

The 10-year-old was filmed playing in a junior tournament in Florida not far from Tiger’s home in Jupiter. Charlie’s dad was on the bag as he appeared to strike an iron from the fairway.

The swing looked near-perfect, with a smooth rhythm, a fast club-head speed and a strong follow-through.

Golf Magazine writer Dylan Dethier tweeted the video with the caption: “Somehow we’ve never seen Charlie Woods swing a golf club until now and MY GOD.”

Take a look at the swing above and judge for yourself.
