Tiger Woods is ready for this year’s first major and he’s going to be sharing the limelight with a 14-year-old golf prodigy!
China’s Tianlang Guan was born a year after Tiger Woods won his first Masters in 1997 and will now be the youngest ever competitor for this year’s Masters at Augusta.
Previously, a 16-year-old from Italy named Matteo Manassero set the record as the youngest competitor in 2010 and officially the youngest competitor was 14 years and four-month-old Tom Morris who competed in the British in 1845. Tianlang Guan is the youngest since at 14 years and five-months-old.
Tianlang Guan played a practice round with golfing legend Tiger Woods and Woods was nothing but impressed with the eight-grader’s natural talent, stating that he saw the future.
