Tiger Woods’ teenage son Charlie Woods revealed he wanted to ‘prove to himself’ he could do better after his nightmare at the U.S. Junior Amateur.

Tiger Woods’ teenage son Charlie says he wanted to prove he could do better after he won a junior tournament in Florida, weeks after a frustrating debut at the U.S. Junior Amateur.
Charlie, 15, endured a tough time at Oakland Hills last month.
His 48-year-old father watched him shoot 82-80 to finish on 22-over after 36 holes and miss the halfway cut by a country mile.
The duo drew massive crowds and undoubtedly Charlie would’ve hoped for a better performance in the 264-player field.
Tiger, unsurprisingly, drew most of the attention and one spectator managed to snap a picture of the golfer’s right leg without a protective sleeve.
The horrifying picture showed the true extent of the injuries he sustained in his February 2021 car crash.
Charlie ended up finishing towards the bottom of the pack at the U.S Junior Amateur.

Tiger won the U.S. Junior Amateur three times in a row in the early 1990s.
Undeterred, Charlie was in the field for last week’s South Florida PGA Junior Cup presented by Callaway and TopTracer.
Charlie won the event, held on East Course at BallenIsles Country Club, with a score of 1-under after 54 holes.
He shot 73-68-73 and was the only player in the field to finish under par.
The golf competition featured 63 boys and 25 girls.
Eva Lye won the girls’ competition.
In the aftermath of victory, Charlie said he wanted to ‘redeem’ himself.
“I feel like it was a compilation of a lot of hard work this summer,” he told a PGA of America official when asked how he won.
“I wanted to redeem myself, and I feel great about how I played.”
He added: “I wanted it so bad. I felt focused, and I knew what I had to do to get it done.
“I wanted to prove to myself that I could do better.”
The fifth major
In 2024, Tiger Woods played in all four major championships for the first time since his aforementioned car crash.
Woods made the cut at The Masters but went on to finish dead last.
Then he missed cuts at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open.

He has confirmed that he has no plans to play professional golf until December when he tees it up at the PNC Championship with Charlie.
Tiger described the annual PGA Tour event as his ‘fifth major’.
He has also poured cold water on any talks of his retirement from the game.
Tiger said he would be at next year’s Open at Royal Portrush.
