Tiger Woods Looks Good as Son Charlie Kills it at Nicklaus Jr Event
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. Injuries can derail even the greatest careers, and Tiger Woods knows that better than most. From multiple back surgeries to a near-fatal car crash, the 15-time major champion has battled his body for decades. His latest hurdle came in March 2025, when a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg required surgery, sidelining him from the Masters and once again casting doubt on a comeback. But while Tiger's clubs have stayed in the garage, his son Charlie has been lighting up the junior circuit. The 16-year-old won his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, with 15-under par at Streamsong Resort's Black Course. Now, he's competing at the Nicklaus Junior Championship in South Florida, where Tiger made a familiar appearance, supporting his son. What turned heads this time, though, was how easily Woods appeared to move. Just days before, he was seen walking across sand at the Augusta Municipal short course, currently under development as part of a partnership with Augusta National. His steady stride fueled speculation about a potential return. "Nice to see Tiger out walking and watching Charlie play" one fan commented on X. Tiger hasn't revealed a timeline, but the signs suggest his recovery is moving in the right direction. Amid the Big Cat's recovery progress, one thing that hasn't stopped him from making public appearances is Charlie Woods.

(Photo by) More Getty Images Tiger's dedication to Charlie's golf journey has been unwavering. Last December, he celebrated greenside as Charlie made a hole-in-one at the PNC Championship. "That was the thrill of a lifetime," Tiger had said at the time. Earlier this spring, he was spotted attending Charlie's matches at the BallenIsles Country Club. As for Charlie's latest outing, the 16-year-old closed with a 2-under 69 at Tequesta Country Club on Wednesday to finish level par at the Nicklaus Junior Championship. That earned him a tie for sixth out of 122 players, just four shots behind winner Jeremy Hsu. It capped off a stellar month that also saw him qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur, set for July 21–26 at Trinity Forest in Dallas. Tiger's competitive return may remain uncertain, but his sideline presence remains powerful. And with Charlie rising fast, the Woods name still commands attention wherever it shows up on a leaderboard. More Golf: Tommy Fleetwood Drops Cheery Statement amid Travelers Collapse

Tiger Woods watches as son Charlie and Kai Trump put in different performances
Charlie Woods and Kai Trump were both in action at the Nicklaus Junior Championship this week, with one of the teenagers enjoying a much better time on the greens and fairways Charlie Woods and Kai Trump, bearing the weight of their famous surnames, once again turned heads as they competed in the 41st edition of the Nicklaus Junior Championship this week. However, it was Charlie who had the most to celebrate at the end of the two-round tournament. The teenagers, who are among America's most promising golfers in their respective age categories, showcased their skills over the past two days in Florida. It comes four months after both struggled at the Sage Valley Junior Invitational in March. At the end of that tournament, Woods - who is the son of 82-time PGA Tour winner Tiger Woods - finished 25th out of 36 players. Meanwhile, Trump, daughter of Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr and granddaughter of US President Donald Trump, came last out of 24 in her draw. Despite less-than-stellar performances, both saw a significant rise in their American Junior Golf Association rankings. Since then, both have made considerable strides in their performances. Woods, 16, clinched victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, before securing his place in the US Junior Amateur Championship in July, reports the Irish Star. On the other hand, Trump, 18, bagged second-place at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour Major Championship earlier this month. However, on Tuesday, only one of them could continue their recent good run of form. By the time the Nicklaus Junior Championship concluded at the private Tequesta Country Club, located north of the pro golf enclave of Jupiter, it was Woods who emerged the happiest. After finishing even-par for the tournament with a final round 69 (two-under), he placed sixth in a field of 122 boys golfers, finishing just four shots back of eventual winner Jeremy Hsu of Port St. Lucie, who won the tournament at four-under. Meanwhile, Trump finished tied for 21st out of 32 golfers, having struggled to a final round score of a three-over 74, putting her 17-over for the tournament. That's despite playing the front nine at one-under - the best of any girls player in the final round. Woods' performance was just the latest example of his rapid rise up the ranks, having already risen from No. 606 to No. 14 following his first win on the junior golf circuit last month. Like Trump, he remains in high school, although the president's granddaughter has already committed to play golf at the University of Miami in 2030, having announced her decision last year. It isn't just their golf skills and famous family ties which have gained them plenty of attention in recent times, however. Earlier this year, Woods' dad Tiger went public with his relationship with Trump's mum, Vanessa. The golfing legend took to his social media in March, sharing cosy moments with his partner lounging in a hammock. His heartfelt caption read: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts." Vanessa mirrored her beau's statement by sharing his post on her Instagram story. Soon after, it emerged that both Tiger's children and President Trump had given their seal of approval to his new sweetheart. Reports last month claimed that things were going so swimmingly that the smitten pair might move in together by the year's end. Vanessa is also said to have "total access" to the sportsman's life.

Charlie Woods T-2 after 9 holes at 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying in Florida
Charlie Woods T-2 after 9 holes at 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying in Florida Charlie Woods, the son of nine-time USGA champion Tiger Woods, is attempting to qualify for his second straight U.S. Junior Amateur. Woods is playing in the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier in Florida, where five spots are up for grabs. Woods, 16, made his U.S. Junior Amateur debut last summer at Oakland Hills in Michigan, where he missed the cut. Tiger won three U.S. Junior Amateur titles and also has three U.S. Amateurs to his name, too. Starting on No. 10, Woods was 3 under through eight holes before a bogey on the par-4 18th to turn in 2 under, which was good for T-2. His scores are only being updated after every nine holes, so don't expect any changes to his score until he completes play. Last month, Woods got his biggest win to date, winning the AJGA's Team TaylorMade Invitational at Streamsong Black in Central Florida, beating a field consisting of most of the top juniors in the country. Earlier this week, Woods, a Class of 2027 recruit, was able to be contacted for the first time by college coaches looking to recruit him. Earlier this month, he made the cut at the Florida Amateur Championship. The 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur is set for July 21-26 at Trinity Forest in Dallas.
