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.

Scottie Scheffler becomes 4th PGA Tour player with $90 million in career earnings
No one has made more money playing on the PGA Tour than Tiger Woods. Scottie Scheffler is quickly closing in on Big Cat. After his fourth major championship victory Sunday in the 2025 British Open at Royal Portrush, Scheffler surpassed $90 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. Only Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson have made more money than Scheffler in the history of the Tour. Just in 2025, Scheffler has made more than $19 million, which would put him 131st on the career list. That's in front of players like Cameron Young, David Duval, Maverick McNealy and plenty of other notables. Tiger is alone at the top, with $120,999,126 earned throughout his career, featuring 82 wins, tied with Sam Snead for the most all-time, and 15 major titles. McIlroy is second, sitting at $107,145,776. Then there's Mickelson, who has amassed $96,727,968. Scheffler's victory put him at $90,996,470, well within reach of surpassing Mickelson if he strings together strong finishes in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. And at his current pace, it's a matter of when, not if, he passes Woods for No. 1 on the list. The better competition may be between who gets there first: Scheffler or McIlroy, the latter who has just more than a $16 million advantage coming around the final corner.

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.

Tiger watches son Charlie's tough start at US Junior Amateur
MIAMI: Tiger Woods, who has missed the 2025 golf season with a ruptured left Achilles tendon, walked around Brook Hollow Golf Club yesterday watching his son Charlie compete at the US Junior Amateur. Woods, a 15-time major champion, underwent surgery in March. There has been no timetable for his return to competition, with yesterday's appearance the first hint at his fitness. Charlie Woods fired an 11-over par 81 in the first round of the US Golf Association event at Dallas, with two birdies, five bogeys and four double bogeys to share 242nd place. Tiger Woods withdrew from February's Genesis Invitational, saying he was not ready to compete in the wake of his mother Kultida's death. The elder Woods, who turns 50 in December, has not competed since missing the cut in last July's British Open at Royal Troon. Woods, a three-time US Junior Amateur winner from 1991-1993, has won 82 career PGA Tour titles, level with Sam Snead for the all-time record. The US Junior Amateur features 36 holes of stroke play for a field of 264 players over two courses on July 21-22, with the field cut to the top 64 players, who will compete in match play to determine a champion. — AFP

Tiger Woods' feelings clear after Scottie Scheffler's 'silly' response - 'I did it differently'
The Open Championship winner Scottie Scheffler continues to play down comparisons with Tiger Woods, while the golf icon himself has observed some key similarities and differences Tiger Woods has highlighted the differences and similarities between his game and Scottie Scheffler 's, despite the latter dismissing comparisons with the golfing legend as 'a bit silly'. Scheffler, 29, is currently enjoying one of the most dominant runs on the PGA Tour since Woods' historic streak in the early 2000s. The Texan has held the world 's No. 1 ranking spot since March 2022, winning four major tournaments in that time. He won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in May before delivering a fantastic performance at Royal Portrush last week, which saw him claim his first The Open Championship. His display showcased the same dominance and consistency he has enjoyed over the past two years as he carded 17-under par, beating the field by four strokes. That meant he completed a third leg of the career Grand Slam, taking him to within just one US Open victory of joining golf's elite, including Woods. Despite his clear dominance, Scheffler has been quick to shut down suggestions that he is approaching 15-time major winner Woods' level. He said after his win at the Open: 'I still think they [the comparisons] are a bit silly. 'Tiger won, what, 15 majors? This is my fourth. I just got one-fourth of the way there.' 'I think Tiger stands alone in the game of golf,' Scheffler added. 'He was inspirational for me growing up. He was a very, very talented guy, and he was a special person to be able to be as good as he was at the game of golf.' But Woods, 49, has been less dismissive of the comparisons. He recently appeared in a PGA Tour video, which featured players discussing Scheffler's game, and offered high praise and deep insight into what makes the 29-year-old so special. He said: 'We see shots into the greens very similarly, how we miss golf balls into the correct spots. It's not always pretty, but it's not about the here and now. "It's about the long game. It's over 72 holes. It's not a sprint; it's a marathon. I think that's the similarity in how we play the game.' Woods went on to say that while their styles differ, their approaches share core elements. 'I did it differently," he said. "My game was very violent at times. We played differently. He slid on it. I snapped on it.' He also highlighted a subtle but major aspect of Scheffler's technique which only another elite golfer might notice, saying: 'Forget all the footwork stuff. If you just sat behind him and only looked at the golf ball, you'd see how tight it is. He doesn't move the ball very much either way. 'If you understand the fact that he hits in these tight windows and shapes it in varying degrees, you can understand why he's able to control distance into the greens as well as he does.' Scheffler has now been ranked the No. 1 golfer in the world for 148 straight weeks – the longest such streak since Woods held the world's top spot for 264 consecutive weeks between August 1999 and September 2004, and again for 281 straight weeks from June 2005 until October 2010. Some have even taken notice of Scheffler's mannerisms on the golf course this past weekend which were reminiscent of Woods when he was at the top of his game, including a dramatic fist pump after sinking a 15-foot putt on the sixth hole.
