It will be Tiger Woods’s 24th appearance in the Open Championship.

This legendary stretch of playing the British Open started in 1995, and in these decades, Woods acquired three Claret Jugs to add to his even more legendary winning cabinet. Indeed, the 152nd might turn out to be special for the 15-time major winner, as he has hinted that it may or may not be his last major event.

The last major of the year can be made more special if the 48-year-old is accompanied by his son, Charlie Woods. At the Masters, and the U.S. Open, the 15-year-old had coached his father, and Woods was playing relatively well, yet he missed the cut at the unforgiving Pinehurst No. 2. Coming to the Royal Troon Golf Club, Woods would expect to at least make the cut, but his son would not be with him.

Why? Well, the 15-year-old junior golfer has qualified for his first-ever USGA event. Woods Jr. will be making his debut at the US Junior Amateur, which will start on July 22nd. Since the dates of the Open Championship and US Junior Amateur are one after the other, the junior golfer will not have time to accompany his father and practice for his debut as well. The 48-year-old will be making his appearance without his son and attempting to card a better finish.

Given his three claret jugs, Woods will have the chance to play in the Open Championship until he turns 60 and will have plenty of chances to take his son with him. Unless the unbearable injuries strike again, keep the 15-time major champion from even participating in the four majors. But where will the father-and-son duo be seen next?

When will the golf world see Tiger Woods and Charlie again on the greens?

The answer might be obvious: Charlie Woods would probably want his father to be at the Oakland Hills Country Club for his first USGA event. However, this may only be possible if Woods misses the cut at the Royal Troon Golf Club in St. Andrews. Seeing the past trends, the missed cut streak might follow even at Royal Troon, as the 48-year-old was able to make the cut at only the 88th Masters, where he finished last.

Woods missed cuts at the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open which was frustrating for the 82-time PGA Tour winner as he believed he had played well enough to be in contention. Alas, if the 15-time major winner does make the cut at the 152nd Open Championship, he will surely miss Charlie Woods’s debut at the US Junior Amateur, an event he has won three times in his junior career.

Then, where will the two be seen together next? As per Charlie Woods’s 2024 schedule, the 15-year-old would probably play in the SFPGA Jr. Cup, which will start on July 29 and run until July 31st. The father-son duo can be seen there, as the 48-year-old’s 2024 schedule would be over by then too.

Whenever the two might join hands again, it will surely be a treat for the Woods’s fans. Right now, Tiger Woods is probably busy practicing for the Open Championship and Charlie Woods for his first US Junior Amateur. It remains to be seen who will turn up with better results.
