Who would become pro and have a better career, John Daly II or Charlie Woods

[Golfaddict911]

Son's of pga tour players John Daly and Tiger Woods. From what we have seen John daly II and Charlie Woods have some pedigree. Will any of them become pro and if they do, who will have a better career on the pga tour?

Charlie woods swing at that age is something that gives him a head start on anyone else.  Who knows how he will develop as a person and if he will have the drive to take it all the way but the kid has more potential than possibly anyone ever, outside of his old man at that age...

IMO Charlie is too young. And that aside they need to be judged independent of their parents.

 

No one, NO ONE, not even his kids - will ever have the determination of prime-time Tiger Woods. 

 

We'll see.

[2bGood]

Neither will make it. Odds are against them, despite who their parents are and in some ways I think who their parents are actually hurt their chances.

I certainly hope that both of them will make it. 

Lil John has shown so much improvements and maturity in the last few years. He seems determined to making it on tour.

As for Charlie, today’s performance speaks volume to his talents and competitiveness. He has that fire inside; he just needs to find his true calling and keep that fire going. The only thing that might trouble him in the future is the weight of his father’s name. 

 

I wish both of them the very best.

Charlie Woods is 11, i don't think we should be analyzing anything about him . I hope he has a fun childhood.

LIttle John plays and has played realitively full time (via the Gilchrist academy I believe) which means he he has had every conceivable golf advantge relative to his cohort.   Is he a top 100?, 50? 10? 5? 17 year old in the United States? In the world? I honestly don't know.  He definately looks like DI material to me though.  What will his trajectory be over the next 5 yrs?  I play regularly with a couple of recent All-Americans (both 2018 graduates ACC / BIG12) don't know what they looked like at age 17 but he's not remotely like them with short game....doesn't have those hands.

 

Got nothing to say about Tiger's kid.  Until a teenager, most kids don't self-determine how they spnd their time.

Charlie woods could not even beat me. Putting is too weak. 

 

Do you drive a Miata?

[8602081]

What's wrong with Miata?

[pinhigh27]

Do either of them have any significant tournament results? 

[tw_focus]

Ridiculous question, it's like asking which will win the Nobel Prize. Who knows what they will decide to pursue in life, probably not golf. Honestly Daly has a better chance because he's older and apparently hasn't yet given up golf in a fit of teenage rebellion.

Easily the most stupid thread!   Aside from the fact one is 17 years old and the other is 11years old. You cant even answer the question because you have nothing to analyze.  Even if they became pro you wont find put the answer until the next 20 years.+

Matt Kuchar's son looked pretty good for a 13 year old. Let's let these kids be kids and see where things end up.

I believe Charlie Woods just started playing events in the last year or so. He won a couple of 9 holes events earlier this year. Dad caddied for him in a least one of them.

Not sure about JD's son. Hope he does well.

Neither of these kids will make it onto the Tour if they don't embrace single length irons and 48" drivers, and adopt a bomb-and-gouge style of play.  😉

[Qqq123xx]

I can beat both of them. And that's a fact Jack. 

[dalehead]

Well we will know soon with JD II. At 17 years of age he should start making some noise on the college/ amateur stage.

 

As for Charlie, he’s 11. He still has a lot of growing up to do. Who knows where he will be as a golfer, or more importantly, as a person in 10 years.

[bscinstnct]

It’s interesting that we are entering a generation of golfers who, if their dads were successful tour pros, are just about, if not completely filthy rich. 
 

Not so much JDs kid, but Charlie and especially down the line like if Rory, JT, BK, have kids. I mean, these guys got like “castle money”. 
 

I don’t sense any pressure from TW on Charlie to be the best at golf. And there would be a ridiculous bar set if Charlie decided to make a run at golf.

 

Unless he develops an all consuming passion to compete, I imagine he will look to find what he really wants to do.

They will have access to the finest facilities, teachers, and coaches that money can buy.  So did Jack's kids.  When either start to tear up the top amateur tournaments, then a prediction might be in order.  Until then, leave them alone.

IMHO really nothing other the fact I will not fit in one of them-- I ain't called Big Stu for nothing----  My apologies guys just had to put that out here. Back to our regular scheduled debate

BIG STU use miatas as sneakers!

 

Nuff said.

I just saw something titled "Swing Secrets of Charlie Woods."

 

I couldn't look.

 

You can't make this stuff up.

They will have access to the finest facilities, teachers, and coaches that money can buy.  But this makes me think of a discussion I got into with a golf buddy of mine a couple weeks ago about how there's not as many "country club brats" on tour as you would think.  It seems like most of the top golfers in the world still tend to come from more middle class or modest backgrounds.

Yes, "fire in the belly" can't be bought with a black Amex.  Or at least, not yet.
