AJGA TAKE ACTION AFTER TIGER WOODS’ SON SUBJECTED TO ‘UNRULY BEHAVIOUR’
Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, is set to make his debut in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) this week, receiving a sponsor’s invite to compete in the Will Lowery Junior Championship. As the 15-year-old prepares for his maiden event on the circuit where his father once dominated as a junior, Tiger himself was spotted at the Carolina Trace Country Club, showing his support.
Tiger’s swift return from the Bahamas, where he was engaged in undisclosed discussions with LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, underscores the significance of Charlie’s debut. The young golfer’s inclusion has garnered substantial media and fan attention, with reports even indicating the presence of armed police at the entrance, conducting thorough ID checks before issuing badges.
This heightened security is likely a precautionary measure following an incident in February, when Charlie faced disruptive fan behavior during a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic. Despite the challenges, Charlie remains focused on his junior career, primarily competing in the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour and the Junior PGA South Florida Tour, where he has already clinched victory in one event, reminiscent of his father’s dominance in his prime.
Charlie’s triumphs extend beyond junior tours, as he secured bragging rights over his father by winning a high school state golf championship with the Benjamin School boys team last November—an achievement Tiger himself never attained during his youth. As Charlie continues to carve his path in the golfing world, fans eagerly anticipate his performance in the upcoming AJGA tournament, hoping for a disruption-free experience as he navigates the course.
