Charlie Woods rockets up rankings, eligible for Junior Players
June 3 - Charlie Woods' first junior victory propelled him 595 spots in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) rankings. The son of Tiger Woods was No. 14 in the AJGA boys' rankings after their latest update Tuesday. The 16-year-old's ranking means that he could compete at the Junior Players Championship this August at TPC Sawgrass' Players Stadium Course, where his dad won The Players Championship in 2001 and 2013. The top 58 players in the rankings on July 8 will qualify for the prestigious junior event. An AJGA official told the Florida Times-Union that Charlie Woods cannot drop out of the top 58 by the deadline. Charlie Woods won the AJGA's Team Taylor Made Invitational on May 28 at Streamsong Resort in Fort Meade, Fla. Woods posted rounds of 70, 65 and 66 to earn a three-shot win at 15-under-par 201. --Field Level Media
