Charlie Woods teed off Monday morning in the biggest event of his life thus far.
Charlie, the 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods, is playing in his first USGA Championship this week at the 2024 U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He won a qualifier last month to punch his ticket to the U.S. Junior, an event Pops won three straight times from 1991-93.
Charlie’s day began early Monday, playing Oakland Hills’ North Course with the South Course to come Tuesday. There are 256 players in the U.S. Junior field, and only 64 of them make the cut for match play set to begin Wednesday.
Tiger was on hand Sunday walking with Charlie during the practice round. Tiger isn’t caddying, but he was following Charlie along with a big gallery during the first round Monday.
