Charlie Woods Makes History with First AJGA Win at Team TaylorMade Invitational
The next generation of golf greatness is already making waves. Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, just clinched his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) victory — and he did it in style. For golf fans worldwide, this is a name you’ll want to remember.
A Star in the Making
At the prestigious Team TaylorMade Invitational held at the Streamsong Resort’s Black Course in Florida, Charlie Woods delivered an electrifying performance over three rounds to secure the win. He finished with an impressive 15-under 201, beating a competitive 71-player field that included four of the AJGA’s top five ranked golfers.
Starting the final day tied at 9-under, Woods rose to the occasion with a brilliant 6-under 66 final round. His card included eight birdies, two bogeys, and four closing pars, sealing the tournament by a solid three-stroke lead. Among the runners-up were Luke Colton, Willie Gordon, and Phillip Dunham — all fierce competitors.
The Road to Victory
Charlie’s journey to the top wasn’t overnight. This victory marks a major milestone in what’s shaping up to be a promising golf career. He opened the tournament with a 70 and then lit up the leaderboard with a second-round 65. While this was only his fifth AJGA event, his performance showed composure and talent well beyond his years.
Before this breakthrough, Charlie had already shown flashes of brilliance. He won the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s Major Championship in the 14–15 age division in June 2023, followed by a victory at the Last Chance Regional. Though he didn’t make the cut at last year’s U.S. Junior Amateur, the experience clearly helped fuel his current success.
Like Father, Like Son?
Golf fans can’t help but compare the younger Woods to his 15-time major-winning father. And while Charlie has a long journey ahead, his recent win is a powerful statement: he's not just riding his father’s coattails — he's carving his own path in junior golf.
With each swing, birdie, and title, Charlie is building a legacy of his own. The golf world is buzzing, and it’s only the beginning.
