The 16-year-old won the Team TaylorMade Invitational at Streamsong Resort (Black Course) with a total score of 15 under par (70, 65, 66) and defeated some of the best young players in the USA, including Miles Russell, Luke Colton, Tyler Watts, Willie Gordon and Phillip Dunham.

Strong final round secures victory for Charlie Woods
Charlie Woods put in an impressive performance, especially in the final round. With a 66 (-6), which included eight birdies and four closing pars, he secured the title. He had already consolidated his lead in the second round with a 65 (-7). Woods, who is currently ranked 606th in the AJGA rankings, defeated four of the top five players in the field to mark a milestone in his young career.
This is Charlie Woods’ first AJGA victory in his fifth event. His best result to date was a tied 25th place at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March 2025. The son of Tiger Woods has already attracted attention on other occasions, such as at the 2024 PNC Championship, where he played with his father and caused a stir with his first ace in a top tournament. He also tried his hand at the US Open Qualifier 2024, but was eliminated.
A special moment was the decisive putt to win, which underlines Charlie Woods’ calm style compared to the usual jubilant poses of his father Tiger Woods:
