Tiger Woods is getting ready for his 23rd US Open this week.

He has his son Charlie Woods with him – as a swing coach.

He has seen me hit more golf balls than anyone else, says the 48-year-old.

Tiger Woods has played 92 major tournaments and won 15 of them. Despite that, he is now taking swing help from his 15-year-old son, Charlie, ahead of his 93rd.

I trust him completely when it comes to my game and my swing. He has seen it more than anyone else in the world, and has seen me hit more golf balls than anyone else, says Tiger Woods at a press conference.

Charlie Woods, who is himself aiming to reach the PGA Tour one day, is registered as "Player Support" during the week's competition, and has accompanied his dad inside the ropes during the initial practice rounds.

He has also managed to give him some tips during the day.

I explain to him what he needs to look out for, especially with putting. He gave me some great tips today, which was really good because I can get a bit stuck on hitting certain putts in a certain way, and sometimes I forget what I need to work on. Then he reminds me of it, which is great, continues the 15-time major winner.

We have a very good communication in that way, and it's a fantastic experience we get to share, concludes Woods.

The US Open begins on Thursday and is being played at Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

Three Swedes are competing in the tournament: Ludvig Åberg, Alex Norén, and Tim Widing.
