Tiger Woods has paid the ultimate compliment to close friend Rory McIlroy by urging son Charlie to model his game on the Northern Irishman.
The progress of 13-year-old Charlie is unsurprisingly being closely monitored by ardent fans of Woods after his impressive showings alongside his legendary father in the PNC Championship in Orlando.
Fans have had to wait a little longer for 15-time major champion Woods' comeback to competitive golf after he pulled out of the Hero World Challenge on Monday citing plantar fasciitis, a foot injury developed when he began walking courses again.
