Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods, is making headlines as he takes his first step towards potentially playing on the PGA Tour. He is set to participate in a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic, a significant opportunity for the young golfer.
The pre-qualifier for Woods is scheduled to take place on Thursday at Lost Lake Golf Club. The format of the event dictates that the top 25 players and ties will advance to the Monday qualifier, where four players will secure a spot in the main field of the tournament.
Woods will be playing alongside Olin Browne Jr. and Ruaidhri McGee in the pre-qualifier. Browne, whose father boasts three PGA Tour victories, has experience playing in high-profile events such as the U.S. Open.
Despite his young age, Charlie Woods is no stranger to competitive golf. He has previously teamed up with his father in the PNC Championship, a prestigious 36-hole tournament that features major champions and Players Championship winners playing alongside family members.
Tiger Woods, a golf icon in his own right, has notched numerous victories throughout his career but has yet to secure a win at the tournament formerly known as the Honda Classic, despite making four attempts. His recent withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational due to illness has left fans speculating about his next appearance on the course.
Charlie Woods' participation in the pre-qualifier marks an exciting chapter in his budding golf career, and fans are eager to see how he performs in this crucial step towards potentially following in his father's footsteps on the PGA Tour.
