The Uncanny Similarities Between Tiger And Charlie Woods (As Per National Geographic)

-

The phrase “a chip of the old block” gets used more than enough one might say. It has become hackneyed, so to speak.

But one cannot help but apply it to one Charlie Woods. And to do so would be fair and accurate without putting much thought into it.

The youngster is all but his old man Tiger in his style of play, technique and mannerism. This was as plain as day during the 2023 Father/Son Challenge, more commonly known as the PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton. 


Several videos on the internet have gone into depth either seriously or tongue-in-cheek about Tiger and Charlie Woods’ similarities. Charlie and his sister Sam Alexis were born to Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren.


As per the reliable and always-accurate Wikipedia, the PNC Challenge is an annual golf tournament for two-player teams, consisting of PGA Tour and Champions Tour golfers and (usually) their sons.

Does Cricket Have a T20 Problem?

 *** This article was first published in February 2023. It was ahead of India's tour to South Africa, as well as the controversial Proteas squad announcement for the tour to New Zealand in February 2024... *** If there ever was a case of becoming a victim of one’s own success, the sport of cricket can attest to this double-edged sword. Namely, Twenty20 cricket. This shortened form of the game took the sport by storm back in 2003 when English cricket implemented it to regain the waning attention of spectators at stadiums and viewers at home. It made perfect sense, for the Gentlemen’s Game – Test, First-Class, One Day International and List-A – was struggling to hold the attention of fans at the start of the 21st century. There were already more than enough distractions in the day of the average cricket lover to deter them from going to the stadium or plopping down on the coach to see how the Proteas could navigate a particularly tricky lunch-to-tea session against an unexpectedly co...

The much-anticipated Vodacom United Rugby Championship derby match between the Vodacom Bulls and Hollywoodbets Sharks at Loftus Versfeld  failed to live up to expectations. The Bulls swatted aside the currently-dreadful Sharks  44-10 in front of 25 000 or so people in Tshwane, consigning the men from Durban to a sixth defeat in seven outings this season so far. One of the selling points of this encounter were the contests within a contest that match-up, where 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cup Springboks were pitted against each other across the park in mouth-watering match-ups. While the match was a damp squib in terms of an expected classic, there were several tasty incidents during the game where a Bok one-upped another Bok, as seen in the video above. There were plenty of moments that one could read into that we, as the rugby public, might blow out proportion in overanalysing. For instance, Sharks outside centre Lukhanyo Am put breakout utility flyer Canaan Moodie on his backsi...

If football peaks after this one then it will the greatest peak of all time! South African football is that gift that keeps on giving. This time it was the turn of Skepe Nketole to give tot the world the absolutely absurd! The team arrived for the 2023 Philly’s Games spectacularly in a helicopter for their encounter against Alex Cheese FC. This remarkable and unexpected arrival delayed the game by 15 minutes as the ‘bird’ landed on a gravel football pitch in the township of Ivory Park in Midrand, north of Johannesburg. A video of this spec actor is now doing the rounds on social media as tongues wag over the madness. The Philly’s Games are one of several tournaments that take place during the festive period around South Africa. Traditionally, they serve as entertainment while the local football season is in recess during the Christmas and New Year’s Day celebrations. They are also a platform for unseen wannabe-pros to be scouted should the opportunity arise. Also, it’s where unserious...
