Charlie Woods has been of keen interest to golf fans ever since he stepped on the PNC Championship scene with his father in 2020.
With each passing year, he’s shown the swing mannerisms, recoil, and club twirls that his father Tiger Woods did for all of those years while he dominated the sport on the PGA Tour.
Since playing in the family-orientated PGA Tour event for the first time, he has been spotted playing in junior events in Florida with Tiger watching and sometimes caddying for him, while continuing his rehabilitation to return to competitive action.
Back in February 2024, Charlie entered a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches in Florida, ambitiously attempting to qualify for a tournament on the US circuit.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go to plan for Charlie as he struggled to an 86, a scorecard that featured a 12 on the par-4 7th hole.
At the age of 15, he then attempted to qualify for the US Open in April. He shot an 81 at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie at an event that allowed the top players to enter the Local Qualifying stage.
Despite this disappointment in 2024, you could safely assume Charlie won’t stop there at such a young age. As he has shown at the PNC Championship, he is an exciting young golfer that surely there will be more from in the future.
It was at the 2023 PNC Championship when Charlie was presented to the media for the first time at length, where he spoke alongside Tiger. The pair are yet to win the event, having come second to John Daly and his son John Daly II in 2021.
“I remember I went out to a tournament – I don’t remember when this was or which tournament it was, but I remember one of our security guards carried me out to him on 18 after he won, and I think I went into the press room after but I don’t really remember that much,” Charlie said at the 2023 PNC Championship when he was asked about his first memory of his father winning a tournament.

“Not really. It’s just practice for when someone gives me some words that I have to say. There are no tips. Just answer the questions,” he added when asked if Tiger had advised him on how to speak to the media.
