Following a disappointing 10-over 82 on Day 3 of the Masters, Tiger Woods turned to a new swing coach before his 100th career round at Augusta on Sunday: His 15-year-old son Charlie.
With Tiger in his Sunday red and Charlie adorned in his father's new clothing line, it was the younger Woods who appeared to be dispensing the advice at the Augusta driving range. Charlie is seen taking a few slow swings for the benefit of his father, who was also chatting with caddie Lance Bennett.
'Seeing Charlie Woods on the range giving his old man a lesson,' 2008 Masters winner Trevor Immelman wrote on X. 'So cool!'
Despite Charlie's advice, Woods found himself in the unusual position of finishing the Masters at the bottom of the leaderboard in Augusta, Georgia on Sunday.

After playing the first two rounds of the Masters in 1-over 243 and making the cut for a record 24th time, Woods shot 77 on Sunday to finish 16-over for the tournament.
Sunday marked his 100th round at the Masters, but it was far from his best as the golf legend shot an ugly 40 on the front nine. That came on the heels of an 82 on Saturday - his worst round ever at a major.
Things started off well enough for the 48-year-old Woods, but that didn't last long.
After playing the first two holes in 1 under, Woods made a bogey on No. 3 before things started to unravel on the par-4 fifth hole when he took an unplayable lie and was driven back to the tee box in a golf cart to hit again. He wound up with a triple-bogey 7.
He added another bogey on the 6th and 15th, but ended his round making par on 8 of his last 9 holes.

The once-dominant Woods played with Neal Shipley, the only amateur to make the cut at the Masters.
The age difference between the two is notable.
Woods' streak of cuts made at the Masters began in 1997, before the 23-year-old Shipley was born.
Even with Woods being out of contention he is still attracting the usual huge throng of fans eager just to get a glimpse of the player that became the face of the sport. Fans applaud after every Woods' shot - good or bad - and continue to shout encouragement his way.
His worst round as a pro came in 2015, when he shot an 85 in the third round of the Memorial.
