As questions surround the future of Tiger Woods, who struggled at the Open Championship and fell well short of the cut line, his son, Charlie Woods, looked to take a step in his young career Monday.
The U.S. Junior Amateur has had a few notable winners in its recent history, including Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris. Woods is hoping to prove he belongs with some of the best young golfers in the world as his career begins to take shape.
Here’s a look at Woods’ results from his day at the U.S. Junior Amateur Golf Championship.
Charlie Woods results today
Woods has struggled through his first day on the course, unraveling after a clean first three holes. He posted a double bogey on holes No. 4, 9, 11, 14 and 17, finishing 12-over par and setting himself back considerably entering the second and final day of stroke play.
Only 19 players were under par midway through the day the U.S. Junior Amateur, so it wasn’t exactly an easy day for anyone at Oakland Hills Country Club, but the struggles left him much closer to the bottom of the pack than the top 64; only 64 players will advance to the tournament portion of the event after Tuesday.
Woods did sink two birdies, coming through on holes No. 5 and 12 to avoid an even worse fate, but there’s no doubt he’s less than thrilled about his performance in one of the biggest events of his young career.
How old is Charlie Woods?
Woods is 15 years old. He’s set to turn 16 in February 2025.
The U.S. Junior Amateur features the top golfers under the age of 19, so Woods is still very much on the younger end of the group. He’s eligible to keep competing through 2027, when he would still only be 18. This year’s field does include some even younger players, including two 13-year-olds.
It’s no surprise that Woods has been playing competitive golf from a young age, given his father’s expertise. The younger Woods competed with his dad in the PNC Championship when he was just 11, and he helped his high school team win a state championship in November.
Woods fell short of qualifying for the U.S. Open in the spring, but he earned a spot in a PGA Tour pre-qualifying tournament earlier in the year and is beginning to take steps toward notable events. Given he won’t turn 16 until next year, there seems to be plenty of time for Woods to round out his game.
