Charlie Woods triumphs in high school golf, achieving a feat unmatched by father Tiger
Posted : 17 November 2023
In a remarkable achievement, Tiger Woods' 14-year-old son, Charlie Woods, secured victory in a high school state team championship, accomplishing a feat his father never experienced. Competing for the Benjamin team in Florida, Charlie contributed significantly with rounds of 78 and 76, leading his team to its fourth state golf title. Despite finishing fourth among his teammates and 26th overall, Charlie's performance was a standout moment as his father, a 15-time major winner, watched proudly.
Tiger Woods, who did not caddie for his son in this event as he did in the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship the previous week, had never had the opportunity to win a high school state title during his time at Western High School. This was due to the absence of state championships in golf under the California Interscholastic Federation at that time. Notably, Tiger became the youngest US Junior Amateur at the age of 15 in 1991, showcasing his early prowess in the sport.
Reflecting on their golfing dynamic, Charlie Woods spoke in September about the focused and supportive relationship he shares with his father during competitions. Describing their approach, he said, "We just stay in our own little world. I'll talk about the next tee shot, and he's like, 'No. This is the shot we're going to focus on. Focus up. This is what we're gonna do.'"
As for Tiger Woods' competitive future, uncertainties loom. Despite undergoing ankle surgery, he has not committed to returning to the PGA Tour. However, he has plans to participate in the TGL simulator league, a venture he co-founded with Rory McIlroy, scheduled to commence in January.
