• Woerner grew up in a busy household, as he was brother to six siblings: Rachel, Allen, Peter, Jack, Sally and Lucy. As the second youngest of seven kids, Woerner gained his competitive spirit by trying to keep up with his older brothers. Whether it was on the playground or out hunting, Woerner always pushed himself to keep up the pace set by his siblings. "People ask me, 'Who did you look up to when you were young?'" Woerner said. "I don't say some pro athlete or college athlete. I've always looked up to my big brothers. They're who I spent all my time with. Definitely, without a doubt, they're the biggest influences in my life."
• Growing up in a small town in Georgia, Woerner and his family love outdoor activities, as they all enjoy hunting wild turkey and other game in the area. "I think a lot of it was just being outside playing," he said. "Mom and Dad would make us stay outside for the whole day. We'd go inside to get water and they'd just shove us right back outside. We were always in the woods running around."
