Charlie Woods misses cut at US Junior Amateur Championships
Charlie Woods missed the cut at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championships despite improving his score in the second round. The 16-year-old Woods finished the second round at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas on Tuesday with a 74 (3-over), which was a seven-stroke improvement from his first round score the day before. That put Woods, the son of golf legend Tiger Woods, at a 14-over during the two days of the tournament, with the projected cut line to qualify for match play at 2-over.

Woods played the front nine in even-par 36 and was having an under-par round heading into the 17th hole, but finished the final two holes with a bogey and a double bogey.

Tiger Woods Looks Fit Following Son Charlie at US Junior Amateur
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 back on the golf course, although once again outside the ropes. However, the news is extremely encouraging for all golf fans, as he was seen walking normally and generally in excellent shape. Woods made an appearance at Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas, Texas, to support his son, Charlie Woods, who is competing in the US Junior Amateur Championship. The 15-time major champion was seen wearing full golf attire, including competition shoes. 🚨👀🐅 #PHOTO — Tiger looking ready. He's walking around Trinity Forest GC in Dallas to watch Charlie compete at the U.S. Junior Am. Full golf gear, even shoes. 🔥 (Via: @acaseofthegolf1) — TWLEGION (@TWlegion) July 21, 2025 The news is a cause for joy in the golf world. Just over four months ago, Woods announced that he had suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and had undergone surgery. This is an extremely complex injury, so the fact that he is walking freely is very promising. A few weeks ago, Tiger had also been supporting Charlie while he competed in the Florida State Amateur Championship. However, at that time, he was seen using a golf cart, although without any special protection on his injured leg. On the same date, Woods posted a video on his social media profiles, in which he is also seen walking normally during a visit to the Marcella Club in Park City, Utah. This is a golf course that his company, TGR Design, is building in that area. Charlie Woods Plummeted Under Tiger's Watch Woods' presence didn't help Charlie make it through the first round of the US Junior Amateur. The younger Woods carded a terrible 11-over 81 and is tied for 242nd in a field of 264 players. Tiger Woods watches his son Charlie Woods play during the first round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Brook Hollow Golf Club on July 21, 2025 in Dallas, Texas. Tiger Woods watches his son Charlie Woods play during the first round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Brook Hollow Golf Club on July 21, 2025 in Dallas, Woods started with a bogey on the first hole and added a double bogey on the third, a bogey on the eighth, and the first of his two birdies of the day on the ninth, to make the turn at 3-over. His performance hit rock bottom on the back nine, where he carded consecutive bogeys on the 10th and 11th, a double bogey on the 13th, and bogey, double bogey, and double bogey from the 15th to the 17th. He closed the round on a high note, with a birdie on the 18th, but the damage was done. Woods' son will play the second round at Trinity Forest Golf Club, also in Dallas, Texas, the event's main venue. Charlie is currently ranked 19th in the American Junior Golf Association rankings. He recently won his first tournament in that category, the Team TaylorMade Invitational. The elder Woods holds a place in the history of the US Junior Amateur, having won it three consecutive times, from 1991 to 1993. Woods is the only player to have won this event three times in its history. More Golf: Bryson DeChambeau Hides 'Personal' Message Amid Ryder Cup Confirmation

U.S. Junior storylines: Charlie Woods among several PGA Tour sons; Lefty takeover at the top
Yes, you're getting old. Competing in this week's U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas are four sons of current or former PGA Tour players – Jackson Byrd, Trevor Gutschewski, Cameron Kuchar and Charlie Woods. Byrd is the 18-year-old son of Jonathan Byrd, who won five times on the PGA Tour and was rookie of the year in 2022. He was runner-up to Russell at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley earlier this year. He starts this fall at Clemson, where his uncle, Jordan Byrd, is the head coach. Gutschewski, 18 and the oldest son of three-time Korn Ferry Tour winner Scott Gutschewski, returns to defend his title, marking the first U.S. Junior champion to get that opportunity since Nick Dunlap in 2022 (Dunlap made the semifinals that year). Gutschewski missed the cut at last month's U.S. Open at Oakmont, though he rebounded quickly to win the Western Junior. He'll begin his college career at Florida this fall. Kuchar, 17, makes his USGA debut after recently finishing runner-up to Gutschewski at the Western Junior and verbally committing to TCU. His dad, Matt Kuchar, is a nine-time PGA Tour winner, nine-time Ryder and Presidents Cupper, Olympic bronze medalist and USGA champion (1997 U.S. Amateur). And then there's Woods, the 16-year-old son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods. Woods qualified for his second straight U.S. Junior, a tournament his dad won three times among his nine USGA titles. Woods is a rising junior at the Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida, and the Class of 2027 recruit can officially talk to college coaches as of last month. He's also shot up the AJGA rankings, cracking the top 20 after winning the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, beating top-ranked junior Miles Russell by six shots in the process. Woods shot 22 over in last year's U.S. Junior debut at Oakland Hills, tying for 240th in the 264-player field. This year's field is also 264 players deep with 38 states and 33 countries represented. The top 64 players after 36 holes of stroke play will advance to Wednesday's first round of match play. The 36-hole final is slated for Saturday. Here are the other big storylines entering the 77th edition of the U.S. Junior: Lefty takeover Not only are the top three players in this field – Miles Russell, Luke Colton and Tyler Watts – all ranked in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, but all three are lefthanded. Russell, 16, is the highest ranked of the trio, at No. 18. The Class of 2027 star recently gave his verbal commitment to Florida State and owns victories this year at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley and AJGA Simplify Boys Championship, plus a runner-up at the Northeast Amateur. He also has won the Boys Junior PGA and AJGA Junior Players, so the U.S. Junior is the last major junior title still eluding him. Colton, an 18-year-old Vanderbilt commit from Frisco, Texas, is ranked No. 25 in the world. He's already playing his fifth USGA championship and has twice reached match play at the U.S. Junior. He's the two-time defending champion of the Terra Cotta Amateur. No. 45 Watts, 17, is arguably having the best summer of the three. He won the Sunnehanna Amateur in June with a record 18-under score and a few weeks later reached the final of the North and South Amateur. He also lost to Trevor Gutschewski is last year's U.S. Junior final at Oakland Hills. He's verbally committed to Tennessee. Can he Mawhinney? It's hard to believe this is Tyler Mawhinney's U.S. Junior debut. The 17-year-old from Fleming Island, Florida, already has a USGA title under his belt, teaming with future Vanderbilt teammate Will Hartman, who is also in this week's field, to win this year's U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship. Mawhinney also won last year's Canadian Men's Amateur and then took advantage of his exemption into the PGA Tour's RBC Canadian Open last month, tying for 65th. Mawhinney also reached the Round of 16 at last summer's U.S. Amateur. Qatar, not a drawer At 14 years old, Daniil Sokolov is one of the youngest players in the field. Only 13-year-olds Luka Tiger Peterman Castillo and Salem Alabdallat are younger. Sokolov is also the first player from Qatar ever to play a USGA championship. Sokolov was born in South Korea to Russian parents and moved to Qatar when he was 5 years old. He was a bronze medalist at the 2024 Arab Junior Championship and has twice played in the DP World Tour's Qatar Masters, missing the cut both times. Home cooking There are 17 Texans teeing it up this week, second most of any state behind only California (24). Among them is 18-year-old Reese Roberts of Dallas. Roberts is a Missouri signee and attended the same high school as two-time U.S. Junior champion Jordan Spieth, Jesuit College Prep in Dallas. Roberts has won Spieth's AJGA event, doing so last year, the same year that he won the Texas State Amateur at Trinity Forest.
