‘Put Your Phone Away’: Son Charlie Drives Tiger Woods Mad With His Bad Habit, the 48YO Once Revealed

Looking down, missing life’s beauty. This poignant concern resonated deeply with golf legend Tiger Woods, particularly during the 2023 PNC Championship. The annual event showcases harmony and camaraderie, with golf stars and their kin competing side by side. At golf’s ultimate family affair, Woods and his son Charlie Woods stole the show. However, behind their captivating smiles and seamless swings, a relatable parental frustration simmered.

A revealing confession from the golf icon exposed a relatable pet peeve that had everyone nodding in agreement. And for Tiger Woods, one habit of Woods Jr. proved particularly grating: his excessive use of smartphones. Woods had said to Golf.com in 2023, “I just don’t like the fact that he stares at his phone all the time.” He faced this issue head-on, as he urged his son to appreciate life’s beauty beyond the phone screen. It reminds us that in a world where technology reigns, our 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s wonder and curiosity are at stake.

The 48-year-old father stressed the importance of balance. Furthermore, his words offered profound insight. “Look around you; the world is so beautiful around you; just look up. But everyone is staring into a screen, and that’s how people view life. It drives me nuts at times because he’s always looking down, and there’s so many things around you that are so beautiful at the same time.”

As he shared his frustration, his words painted a picture of a universal struggle. “Put your phone away and just look around,” he mentioned. “That’s one of the things that I think all parents struggle with—most kids don’t look up anymore. Everyone is looking down.” Imagine family dinners where screens dominate the table or outdoor adventures where 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren gaze at phones instead of nature’s splendor. The 82-times PGA Tour champ’s words struck a chord.

In this digital landscape, his voice carries particular weight. More than just about anyone, Woods has a unique perspective on cell phones—they’re always pointed at him. But his concerns go beyond the glare of paparazzi cameras. As a father, he strives to strike a delicate balance between guidance and independence.

Woods recognizes the importance of setting boundaries, providing valuable life lessons, and shielding Charlie from the chaos of his public life. “I provide guardrails for him and things that I would like to see him learn and address,” he explained. This nurturing approach he believes should protect Woods Jr. from the constant demands and pressures that come with being the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 of a celebrity. Additionally, him not coaching his son adds to the meaning. “As a teenager, I want him to try and become his own man at the same time. So it’s a challenge as a parent and to provide that—that atmosphere for him.”

The 48-year-old is aware of the potentially damaging effects of an overly demanding environment. He consciously avoids replicating the intense pressure he faced as a young golfer. “I don’t want him to fall into that trap.” Instead, he fosters a supportive environment where Charlie can discover his passions, develop at his own pace, and cultivate a lifelong love for the game and life beyond.

By doing so, Tiger Woods hopes to raise a well-rounded individual equipped to thrive in all aspects of life. This unspoken desire echoes the sentiments of parents everywhere. Share what you think of Tiger Woods’s quest to limit Charlie’s screen time in the comments section below.
