Tiger Woods’ son – 15-year-old Charlie Woods – is among the entrants released Wednesday for the 75th Annual Press Thornton Future Masters at the Dothan Country Club.
Woods will play in the 15-18 age division of the tournament, which returns to the home base Dothan Country Club June 22-29, after being at Highland Oaks last year while a makeover of the DCC course was in progress.
The youngster from Jupiter, Florida, has gotten national attention while teaming with his father, the PGA great, for several years in the PNC Championship, a father/son tournament held each year in Orlando.
Considered a rising star in the junior golf ranks, Woods attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open in April during a qualifier in Port St. Luice, Fla., but failed to advance.
Locals signed up to compete in the 15-18 age division in the three-day tournament for the overall championship include Mason Crowder of Northside Methodist Academy, the Enterprise High trio of Jon Ed Steed, Luke Thornton and Parker Trawick, and Elba’s Jay Wilson.
