SAD NEWS: Just 15 Minutes Ago in Florida, at Age 16, Tiger Woods’ Son Charlie Woods Announces Urgent Health Update

In a somber and unexpected announcement that shocked fans worldwide, Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, revealed just minutes ago that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now in isolation at his Florida home.

Charlie made the announcement via a short video on social media, where he appeared calm but clearly disappointed. “I just wanted to let everyone know that I tested positive for COVID-19 earlier today,” he said. “I’m feeling okay for now, just a bit tired, and I’m following all the necessary precautions. I’m staying in isolation and hoping to recover quickly.”

The young golfer, who has been rapidly rising in the junior golf world and recently played alongside his father in multiple public events, had a packed summer schedule ahead, including junior tournaments and media appearances. All of those plans are now on hold indefinitely

Tiger Woods, who was not seen in the video, has not yet released an official statement, but sources close to the family confirm that he is by his son’s side and taking every possible measure to ensure Charlie’s safe and full recovery.

Fans and fellow athletes quickly flooded social media with well-wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery. Hashtags like #StayStrongCharlie and #TeamWoods began trending within minutes.

Though Charlie assured his followers that he’s staying positive and in good hands, the news has cast a shadow over the golf world — especially for those who have admired the close bond between the Woods father-son duo.

This developing story serves as a reminder that the virus continues to impact even the brightest young stars. All eyes now turn to Charlie’s recovery, with fans everywhere rooting for his health and return to the fairway.
