Tiger Woods' Son, Charlie, Follows Dad's Footsteps at TPC Sawgrass
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tiger Woods is currently sidelined from competitive golf because of a torn Achilles. The 15-time major winner went through left Achilles tendon treatment in March. Most believe the 49-year-old is most likely to compete again sometime in 2026. But that timeline has not distracted his son, Charlie, who is focused on his own golf career. Earlier this year, Charlie Woods faced criticism for failing to notch a win in junior events. That changed dramatically on May 28th, when Woods captured his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational held at Streamsong Resort. ORLANDO, FLORIDA - DECEMBER 22: Tiger Woods of the United States and his son Charlie Woods walk on the fourth hole during the second round of the PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club on December...

(Photo by) More Getty Images Jr. Woods shot a final round 66, finishing 15-under-par as he beat a field stacked with top-ranked juniors, including Miles Russell and Luke Colton. The win also shot his position in the AJGA Rolex Rankings, from 609th to 14th, opening the door to prestigious invitational events. Charlie Woods Walks in Father's Footsteps One of them is now in sight. From August 28–31, Charlie will tee it up at the AJGA Junior Players Championship, held at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The same course where Tiger Woods won the Players Championship in 2001 and 2013, and one of the very stages that defined his legacy in those prime years. This tournament arrives during a pivotal moment for Charlie. The teenager is heading into his final years of high school, with graduation expected in 2027. Most recently, Charlie competed at the 41st Jack Nicklaus Junior Championship, held in late June. Among the field was a rising star and Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump. Charlie shot a final-round 69, which included an eagle on the par-4 and kept him in contention until a double bogey on No. 12 slipped him to sixth place out of 122 players. His form was solid, but more importantly, consistent, something critics had questioned earlier in the season. As Tiger Woods quietly prepares for his own competitive return, Charlie Woods is already stepping into the competitive spotlight, and fans have high expectations.
