On courses that have thick rough, the 7-wood stays in the bag, but on firmer courses or at venues where there is less rough or more wind, he goes with the 2-iron.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Among the other interesting things that Charlie talked about and revealed in the video were that while Tiger&#8217;s driver headcover is named Frank, Charlie&#8217;s headcover, which is identical to his father&#8217;s, is named Fred.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_gl gnt_em__el\" href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/picture-gallery\/sports\/golf\/amateur\/2026\/06\/09\/photos-charlie-woods-caddies-for-miles-russell-at-u-s-open-qualifier\/90479671007\/\" data-t-l=\"\u2691g:l|l|c|view gallery:inline promo\" aria-label=\"View Gallery - Photos: Charlie Woods caddies for Miles Russell at U.S. Open qualifier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"gnt_em_gl_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/90479601007-usatsi-29158601.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I named him Fred when I was, like, five,&#8221; Woods said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Woods also used a Sharpie pen to create a pseudo-wear mark on his driver so he can see more loft when he looks down at the ball in the address position.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gnt_em_vp_a gnt_em_vp__yt_a\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sKXix2SH-lE?si=XivsiRcJQVrV6RBx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-g-r=\"vp_tg\" aria-label=\"Play YouTube video\" data-v-t=\"TaylorMade Qi4D Driver Review: How GOOD is it?\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"gnt_em_vp_img gnt_em_vp_img__yn\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/sKXix2SH-lE\/maxresdefault.jpg\" onload=\"if(this.naturalWidth&lt;200){this.setAttribute('onload','this.classList.remove(\\'gnt_em_vp_img__yn\\')');this.src=\" https:=\"\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Also, Charlie&#8217;s mother, evidently, does not like the name &#8220;mini driver,&#8221; so &#8220;The Big 3 Wood&#8221; has been written on the headcover of his R7 Quad Mini. Rickie Fowler encouraged Charlie to try the club and he immediately liked it. Woods said that he not only uses the club on tight par 4s, but also finds that it is easier to hit off the fairway than he expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;When I made the jump from the CBs with graphite shafts to my dad&#8217;s irons, he kinda never used a gap wedge, so it just kinda transferred,&#8221; Charlie said, referring to his two-wedge setup. &#8220;Ever since I graduated to (P\u22197TW), I&#8217;ve never used a gap wedge since. I think that&#8217;s partially because my pitching wedge has 49 degrees of loft.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Finally, Woods uses a Golf Pride MCC Align grip on his driver and the standard Golf Pride MCC grips on his other full-swing clubs.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781818148_329_78188033007-76927494007-daviddusek.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"http:\/\/golfweek.usatoday.com\/staff\/76927424007\/david-dusek\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Dusek<\/a>\u00a0is a senior writer at Golfweek and writes primarily about golf equipment, technology, and PGA Tour analytics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 18, 2026, 3:00 p.m. ET Charlie Woods, a 2025 Rolex Junior All-American, recently detailed the clubs in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3016],"tags":[58,59,95,96,1321,990,65,102,103,69,193,67,187,3060,353,2482,62],"class_list":["post-23300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-taylormade","tag-accessfree","tag-sourcegolfweek","tag-sstssportsgolfequipment","tag-sstsnequipment","tag-tagcbs-corp","tag-tagflorida","tag-taggolf","tag-taggolf-equipment","tag-taggolfweek-golf-equipment","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagpga-tour","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagstory-highlights-ai-enabled","tag-tagtaylormade-golf-company","tag-tagtiger-woods","tag-taylormade","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
