Tiger Woods Witnesses Son Charlie Secure Top-10 Position at Nicklaus Junior Championship
**Charlie Woods Shows Promise and Perseverance in 2025 Golf Season**
Charlie Woods, the 12-year-old son of golfing legend Tiger Woods, has been making waves in the golfing world this year with a mix of promising moments and challenges.
At the 2025 Florida Amateur Championship, Woods demonstrated his resilience, making the cut and advancing to the weekend rounds. Despite a tough start with two bogeys, he managed to score a birdie and an eagle in the second round, finishing at 2-over par after 36 holes. However, in the third round, Woods struggled, carding a 5-over par 77, bringing his 54-hole total to 7-over par 223 and ending tied for 54th place.
Earlier in the year, Woods clinched his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational. This victory marked the end of top-ranked junior competitors' winning streaks, showcasing Woods' rising talent.
Woods also competed at the 2025 U.S. Junior Amateur Golf Championship Qualifier held at Eagle Trace Golf Club. He began strongly with birdies and maintained a lead but encountered some bogeys later in the round. Despite this, he secured qualification by winning knockout holes, confirming his place at the major event in Texas.
In the Nicklaus Junior Championship, Woods had a strong start, briefly moving to five-under after a birdie at the 10th hole at Tequesta Country Club. However, he suffered a double-bogey seven at the par-5 12th hole, which ended his chances of winning. Despite this setback, Woods continued a nice stretch of form with a 6th-place finish.
Tiger Woods was present at Tequesta Country Club to watch his son compete in the final round of the Nicklaus Junior Championship. It was one of several times Tiger Woods has watched his son play since undergoing surgery on his left Achilles in March.
Looking ahead, Charlie Woods is confirmed to participate in the U.S. Junior Amateur Golf Championship after his successful qualification. He is also likely to tee it up at the 2024 Junior Players Championship later this summer.
In the rankings, Charlie Woods currently holds the 19th position in the AJGA. This young golfer's performances this year have solidified his status as a rising talent to watch in the golf world.
