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 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

Tiger Woods' son Charlie claims biggest win of career so far
Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of golfing great Tiger Woods, earned his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) win on Wednesday with a three-shot victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Bowling Green, Florida. Woods, playing in his fifth AJGA event, began the final round one shot behind overnight leader Luke Colton and mixed two bogeys with eight birdies for a six-under-par 66 on the Black Course at Streamsong Resort that brought him to 15 under on the week. Willie Gordon (65), Phillip Dunham (68) and Colton (70) finished in a share of second place. After a birdie-bogey start, Woods grabbed the solo lead late on the outward nine with four birdies over a sizzling five-hole stretch. He then built a three-shot cushion with birdies at the 11th and 12th holes, dropped a shot at the 13th but responded immediately with a birdie at the 298-yard, par-four 14th where he drove the green. He closed out his round with four consecutive pars. Before this week, Woods's best result on the AJGA circuit was a share of 25th place at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March. Woods has competed with his father in the last five editions of the PNC Championship -- a 36-hole event featuring two-player teams made up of a major champion and a family member -- and last December they finished runners-up for a second time. The elder Woods has been sidelined since undergoing surgery in March to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and is expected to miss the rest of the PGA Tour season.

Charlie Woods shocks golf world with astonishing first ever win
Charlie Woods has secured his maiden AJGA win after a remarkable performance from the teenage son of golf legend Tiger Woods. The 16-year-old triumphed at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in Florida after a six-under-par final round at Streamsong Resort. He beat some of the finest prospects in golf, including four of the top five players in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) rankings. Woods Jr. is ranked No 606 and this was just his fifth AJGA event. His previous best finish was a tie for 25th. But he finished three shots clear at the top of the leaderboard in Florida to join the winners' circle - and reach a major milestone as he bids to follow in the footsteps of his father. Woods Jr ended on 15-under-par - three clear of three players on 12-under-par -after overcoming a chaotic start to the tournament in Bowling Green. Welcome to the winners circle, Charlie. #TeamTaylorMadeInv — AJGA (@AJGAGolf) May 28, 2025 During a remarkable opening round, the teenager hit eight birdies and an eagle but somehow carded a two-under-par 70 after also shooting five bogeys and a triple bogey. There was far less turbulence in rounds two and three, however, when Woods Jr. hit a combined 17 birdies and just four bogeys. Earlier this month, Charlie fell at the first hurdle in his bid to qualify for next month's US Open. But this win represents a huge step for the teenager, whose father has won 15 major championships during an astonishing career. Charlie and Tiger Woods have played together in several tournaments over recent years. But Tiger, who recently went public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump, is currently recovering from surgery on a ruptured Achilles.

Ebenhack) Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, won his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title on Wednesday, taking a three-stroke victory in Florida. The younger Woods fired a six-under par 66 final round to capture the Team TaylorMade Invitational at Streamsong Resort Black course, finishing on 15-under 201. It was the first victory in five AJGA starts for Charlie Woods, who fired eight birdies and two bogeys in the final round but closed with four consecutive pars to seal the triumph in the top US junior series. A field of 71 included four of the nation's five top-ranked juniors and 60 of the top 100. Woods was 606th in AJGA rankings but is expected to leap into the top 15 after the win. Charlie Woods would be able to have talks with college coaches next month even though he wouldn't be joining university teams before 2027 if then. Woods was playing on a sponsor invitation in the event but will be exempt for AJGA invitationals the rest of this season. Woods, who has won other age-group events, failed in an attempt to qualify for the US Open earlier this month.
