Charlie Woods, teenage son of Tiger, wins first solo title with final-round 66

7NEWS29-05-2025
Tiger Woods needs to make room on his trophy shelf for son Charlie.
The 16-year-old finished with a three-round score of 15-under 201 at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Florida on Wednesday in winning his first American Junior Golf Association event at the Streamsong Resort Black Course.
The AJGA is the nation's premier junior circuit.
Woods began the day tied at nine-under 135 and finished with a final round of six-under 66 to top a 71-player field that included four of the top-five ranked AJGA's players.
His final round featured eight birdies and two bogeys, and he closed with four straight pars. He won the event by three strokes ahead of a three-way tie between fifth-ranked player Luke Colton, Willie Gordon and Phillip Dunham.
Woods is projected to vault up the AJGA rankings in significant fashion, going from No.606 entering the week to No.14, per DRVN.golf.
Woods opened the tournament with a first round score of 70 and followed with a 65 on Tuesday. He was competing in just his fifth AJGA event, with his previous best finish a tie for 25th at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March.
The son of 15-time major winner Tiger already counted several wins on his resume, with his first coming in the 14-15-year-old category at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour's Major Championship in June 2023. Later that year, he won the Last Chance Regional golf tournament.
Last summer, he qualified to compete at the US Junior Amateur but failed to make the cut.

Scottie Scheffler's search for meaning carries him to Tiger Woods's stratosphere after Open triumph

Spare a thought for the rest of them, the literally thousands of professional golfers whose lifelong dedication to the most torturous of sports has cost them unquantifiable time, money and extracts of their souls. These men and women who would give it all up again three times over for that one perfect day, when the wind blows just right, all the putts catch lips and fall in, and their name is the one adorning the top of the leaderboard at sunset. What were they to think when they saw Scottie Scheffler, the best player on the planet, tell the world that the view from the top wasn't all that? "It feels like you work your whole life to celebrate winning a tournament for like a few minutes," Scheffler said a few days out from first round of the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. "It only lasts a few minutes, that kind of euphoric feeling. "You win it, you celebrate, hug my family, my sister's there, it's an amazing moment. Then it's like, OK, what we eating for dinner? Life goes on." Scheffler's five-minute stream-of-consciousness monologue in that press conference was remarkable. Even more so now that he has gone and wiped the floor with the field to win his first Open Championship title by four shots. This victory was so total, and the gap between Scheffler and the rest of the world is now so great, that he can be held up alongside the great Tiger Woods without hyperbole. By just about any measure or metric, Scheffler is the best since Tiger. It's there in the numbers, and in the numbers behind the numbers. It's there in the relentless, suffocating winning, and in the ability to make a 54-hole lead feel like a foregone conclusion before Sunday even arrives. It's there in the testimony of those who would know, including Jim "Bones" Mackay — Phil Mickelson's long-time caddy whose view of Tiger's mastery was better than most — who said of Scheffler on Saturday: "I never thought in my lifetime I'd see a player as close to Tiger as this man currently is." Scheffler plays and wins like Tiger did. Tiger reached global mega-stardom thanks to his charisma and ability to produce the spectacular when required, but for the most part his major victories were built off a tasteful monotony. Hit the fairway, hit the middle of the green, one-putt for birdie or two-putt for par. Nothing flashy, nothing silly. Let the others make their mistakes as they get lost and dizzy in the churn of your orbit. Without the "Tiger-mania" factor, Scheffler has often come across as a dry and unengaging champion, unique only for the excessive footwork in his apparently foolproof swing. But in one press conference Scheffler has changed perceptions. Here is a man who almost feels guilty for how much he likes golf, terrified it might one day impede on the things that provide fulfilment in the "deepest places of your heart". He is addicted to winning but he's not sure why, and he kind of wishes he wasn't. By his own admission he will give this career away should it ever begin to adversely impact his relationship with his wife, Meredith, or his 14-month-old son, Bennett. In this sense, without putting too fine a point on it, Scheffler is the anti-Tiger. Nothing in the universe has ever mattered as much to Tiger as winning golf tournaments. It consumed him, created him, propelled him and then eventually destroyed him. These are likely not obstacles Scheffler will ever have to clear. His level head means that more than any other post-2010 challenger to Tiger's throne he has the best chance to emulate his deeds. Rory McIlroy was the first to be ordained, and in completing the career grand slam at the Masters this year proved those comparisons were not entirely misplaced. But McIlroy is emotional and streaky, stuck between caring so incredibly much that he becomes an all-conquering cyborg like Tiger, and caring just enough to maintain calm and perspective like Scheffler. Jordan Spieth had a run at it in his early 20s and was endlessly entertaining in doing so, but burned out when the exhilarating shots stopped coming off and self-doubt crept in. Spieth never knew how to play boring, let alone master it like Scheffler. Brooks Koepka is a more interesting comparison, as his is the strongest post-Tiger major resume. His schtick was nonchalance, but while replacing Scheffler's existentialism with frat house egotism — "why would I even care about this, bro? This is just so easy for me". But golf never stays easy for long, and Koepka was rarely able to inspire himself outside of the brightest lights. For now and for the foreseeable future, there is just Scottie Scheffler. Going from the depths of his press conference rabbit hole on Tuesday to the runaway Champion Golfer of the Year on Sunday, again proved his mental fortitude is just as elite as his ball striking. Of course, what Scheffler said in that press conference was painfully true. Once he has set the Claret Jug down somewhere safe, he and his family will begin to plan for dinner, try like hell to get Bennett to sleep in a reasonable time frame, and then begin thinking about the next tournament. On and on it goes. He still may not be any closer to discovering what the point of it all really is. But one would hope that the glow from this victory lasts a little longer. It's not every day that you touch the clouds upon which greatness rests, let alone pull yourself up and take a seat.

American Scottie Scheffler wins The Open Championship by four shots at Royal Portrush

A relentless Scottie Scheffler has sealed his first British Open triumph by four shots as he turned the final day of the tournament into a procession at Royal Portrush. The 29-year-old American world number one started out with a four-stroke lead and apart from one mid-round blip, never looked like relinquishing his iron-like grip as the chasing pack were left scrapping for minor places on Sunday. Scheffler resembled a towering giant among men all week on the glorious Causeway Coast, rekindling memories of 15-times major winner Tiger Woods in his pomp, and he rubber-stamped his fourth major title with a clinical final-round 68. After tapping in for his par in front of a packed 18th green grandstand, Scheffler's laser-focus finally cracked and he threw his white cap skywards before hugging caddie Ted Scott and enjoying a tearful embrace with his wife Meredith and son Bennett. "Thanks to the fans for all the support. I know I wasn't the fan favourite today so I appreciate you guys coming out to support, overall it's been a great week," Scheffler, the third successive American to win the Open and fourth in five years, said after lifting the Claret Jug.

Fans befuddled by ‘absolutely insane' Rory McIlroy moment

Don't miss out on the headlines from Golf. Followed categories will be added to My News. Scottie Scheffler has one hand on the Claret Jug as the world No.1 jumped out to a four-shot lead with a bogey free four-under par third round of 67 in the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Scheffler sits at -14 for the tournament, and his sizeable lead will have dampened the spirits of his rivals as every time he has led a major after 54 holes, the 29-year-old has won. The three-time major champion started the day with a one-shot lead but stretched that margin with an eagle at the par 5 seventh, a birdie at par 4 eighth and a birdie at 'Calamity Corner', the par 3 16th.

'I think anytime you can keep a clean card around a major championship, you're going to be having a pretty good day,' Scheffler said. 'I think the card could look stress-free, but I had two really nice par saves on the back nine that were key. 'I made a nice eight footer on 11, another one on 14, so two really important putts.' The American looked simply irresistible as he continued he stellar form, boasting three wins, including his PGA Championship victory and a finish no worse than tied eighth in his last ten starts. He is now just 18 holes away from becoming the second top ranked player in the world after Tiger Woods to win on the British links, and in doing so, only a US Open triumph will remain in his bid for the career grand slam. 'I like being out here competing. This is why we work so hard is to have opportunities like this, and I'm excited for the challenge of tomorrow,' Scheffler said. 'Winning major championships is not an easy task, and I've put myself in a good position. 'Going into tomorrow I'm going to step up there on the first tee and I'm going to be trying to get the ball in the fairway, and when I get to the second shot I'm going to be trying to get that ball on the green. 'There's not really too much else going on.' Scheffler will be paired with China's Haotong Li (-10) in the final group after he shot a two-under par round of 69, while third round playing partner Matt Fitzpatrick remained at -9 with an even par 71.

McIlroy delighted the crowd with a five-under 66 but will need some unlikely help from Scheffler on Sunday to win a second Open Championship after his triumph in 2014. Fitzpatrick drew level with Scheffler early in the round by chipping in for an eagle on the par-five second, as the leader three-putted for par. But Scheffler cruised back in front with an eagle on the seventh hole, backed up by a birdie on the eighth. He stayed bogey-free courtesy of a gusty par save after finding thick rough to the left of the 11th green, before getting up and down again on 14. The 29-year-old dealt another blow to the chasing pack with a birdie on the difficult 16th before closing out his round with two solid pars. Li, hoping to become the first Chinese man to win a major title, hung in to reach the turn at nine-under overall, four shots adrift. He emerged as Scheffler's closest challenger while others slipped back, making three birdies on the second nine before a closing bogey. Fitzpatrick was only two behind Scheffler at the halfway point of the third round as he tried to boost his bid to become the first English winner since Nick Faldo in 1992. But three bogeys on the way in left him with a mountain to climb. - McIlroy keeps slim hopes alive - Home favourite McIlroy, starting the day seven strokes off the pace, quickly made his move with three birdies in his first four holes. A huge roar greeted a curling, 36-foot birdie putt on the first green, before the Northern Irishman tapped in for another birdie on the second. A towering iron shot into the fourth continued the momentum, dragging the Masters champion to within four shots of Scheffler before the leader had even teed off. His putter went cold for the rest of the front nine, before a bogey on the 11th, when an old ball jumped out of the ground as he hit his approach shot, threatened to derail his round. But the 36-year-old responded in style by tickling home a downhill, 56-foot eagle putt on the 12th, bringing deafening cheers from the thousands of fans around the green. One more birdie at the 15th, after a wonderful shot from the rough, gave the crowd extra belief before Scheffler's strong finish. 'Scottie Scheffler is inevitable, even when he doesn't have his best stuff, he's the complete player,' McIlroy told Sky Sports. 'But if I can get out tomorrow, get off to a similar start to today, get the crowd going, hopefully he feels that a couple of groups behind me.' Other movers on Saturday included reigning champion Xander Schauffele, who made two eagles in a 66 to reach seven-under for the tournament. Lee Westwood tied the British Open record for the lowest back nine with a 29, recovering from being four-over on the outward half. Marc Leishman, the lone Australian to make the cut, shot a second straight three-under par round of 68 to sit at -4 overall, tied 26th. Leishman made five birdies for the day and the LIV Golf star has his sights set on a top ten finish in order to book his place at Royal Birkdale next year.

(Photo by) 'Obviously there's the carrot dangling to try to get into the top 4 but also to try to get in the Open next year,' Leishman said. 'Yes, you want to do something silly and try to go crazy low, but you also want to make sure you try to get back in next year and give yourself a chance to get into the other majors. 'Probably more so looking at that. I'm nine back. Probably going to be more than ten back at the end of the day the way he's playing. That will be too many, unless I do something really, really silly. He's probably going to get to 20-under. I'm not going to shoot 56.' The highlight of the day came from English golfer John Parry (-3) as he made the first hole-in-one of the tournament. It came at the 175 metre par 3 13th, which is ranked the third hardest hole on the course and boasted a scoring average for the day of 3.14, as Parry's tee shot landed on the green, took two hops and dropped into the cup, much to the delight of the roaring crowd. It turns out Parry has pulled off a miraculous shot more often than most. 'I think that is about ten. I haven't counted back and could probably work it out, but it's about ten,' Parry said of his hole-in-ones. Originally published as Fans befuddled by 'absolutely insane' Rory McIlroy moment
