Charlie Woods had a rough start to his American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) debut last weekend at the Will Lowery Junior Championship.

Woods shot 21-over-par and finished in a three-way tie for 32^nd

place with Jack Michael and Spencer Mills while the winner of the event, Patmon Malcom, finished at -7.

Woods turned in rounds of 78, 81 and 78 in the three-round event held at the Carolina Trace Country Club in Sanford, North Carolina.

Charlie made his AJGA debut on a sponsor’s exemption, according to TW Legion, and his father, Tiger, was spotted at the event, according to reports.

Earlier this week, Tiger Woods and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren attended a ceremony for the Benjamin School golf team, which featured their son Charlie, as team members received state championship rings, according to Golfweek.

Charlie Woods has had a mixed debut at the Will Lowery Junior Championship, hosted by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA).

The young golfer, aged 15 as of February, received a sponsor’s invite into the tournament, marking his first appearance in the AJGA circuit.

However, Charlie’s performance thus far has been inconsistent. After completing two rounds at the Carolina Trace Country Club in Sanford, Florida, he finds himself at 15-over par.

His first round saw him carding a 78, marked by three birdies but also marred by five bogeys and consecutive double-bogeys on the 2nd and 3rd holes.

How was Woods’ second round?

The second round proved similarly challenging for Charlie, with eight bogeys and a double bogey at the par-4 5th. Despite managing a lone birdie on the par-4 4th, he concluded the round with an 81, bringing his cumulative score to 15-over par. As the competition enters its final round on Sunday, Charlie currently stands at T40 in the 51-player field.

Nevertheless, Charlie’s participation in this event has garnered considerable attention from both media and fans. Reports indicate heightened security measures, including armed police conducting thorough ID checks at the entrance, likely in response to previous incidents of unruly fan behavior experienced by Charlie during a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic in February.

He was forced to bring in a host of security personnel and armed police to protect him from the crowd getting out of control. In the Cognizant Classic in February, his hopes of progressing impacted by fans eager to catch a close glimpse of the American prodigy in action.

A big part of his run was hampered by a large number of fans swarming the young golfer, with intruding fans seen walking alongside him and asking for photographs, distracting him from focusing on the green.

Amidst the challenges, Charlie has received support from his father, Tiger Woods, who was seen cheering him on during his debut in the AJGA circuit. Tiger, a 15-time major champion, made a rushed return from the Bahamas to be present at the event after engaging in confidential discussions with LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan earlier in the week.

Charlie Woods, State Champion with Benjamin School

The 15-year-old prodigy received a state championship golf ring, marking a significant achievement in his budding career.

Charlie’s team at The Benjamin School had secured victory in the Class 1A golf title back in November 2023, under the guidance of coach Toby Harbeck.

This victory was particularly special as it was the team’s fourth triumph in the program’s history, the first since 2009.

Both Woods, 48, and Nordegren, 44, attended the ceremony to support Charlie, although they posed for photos separately.

Despite their past differences, the pair showed solidarity in celebrating their son’s achievement.

Charlie Woods struggled at Junior Championship

Charlie’s passion for golf is evident, especially as he teamed up with his father to secure fifth place at the PNC Championship in Orlando.

However, the road to success is not without its challenges.

Recent struggles were highlighted as Charlie faced a tough weekend at the Will Lowery Junior Championship.

Despite his efforts, he finished in a three-way tie for 32nd place, a far cry from his usual performance.

The winner of the event, Patmon Malcom, finished at an impressive -7, showcasing the level of competition Charlie encountered.

While Charlie’s journey in golf may have hit a bump, the unwavering support from his family, particularly his father, remains steadfast.

Tiger, a legend in the golfing world, has been actively involved in his son’s endeavors, acting as both a mentor and a caddie.

Despite the challenges, the Woods-Nordegren family continues to demonstrate a united front in co-parenting their children, emphasizing their commitment to prioritizing their kids’ well-being above all else.

As Charlie navigates the highs and lows of competitive golf, his family’s presence serves as a constant source of encouragement and support.

Charlie Woods had a rather unremarkable start to his American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) career at the Will Lowery Junior Championship, posting rounds of 78, 81, and 78, respectively. His combined score of 21-over par over the 54-hole event landed him in a tie for 32nd place out of 51 competitors.

Meanwhile, Patmon Malcom dominated the tournament, finishing a notable eight strokes ahead of the competition with an impressive score of 7-under par after consistent rounds of 69, 70, and 70.

Charlie, who recently turned 15, received a sponsor’s invitation to participate in the tournament. Notably, his father, Tiger Woods, made a special appearance to support him, interrupting his schedule after holding discussions with LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

Charlie’s performance throughout the tournament was a mixed bag. In the first round, he managed to card birdies on the 6th, 7th, and 14th holes but struggled with five bogeys and consecutive double bogeys on the 2nd and 3rd holes, resulting in a 6-over 78.

How did Woods perform in the second round?

His struggles continued into the second round, marked by eight bogeys and another double bogey, with only one birdie to balance his score, leaving him at 15-over par and tied for 40th place.

During the final round, Charlie faced another challenging start with early bogeys and double bogeys. Despite a birdie on the 17th and consecutive birdies on the 3rd and 4th holes, he struggled to maintain consistency, ultimately finishing with a 6-over 78 for the round and maintaining his T32 position overall.

While it was undoubtedly a tough debut for Charlie, the experience serves as a valuable learning opportunity for the young golfer. Notably, his inclusion in the tournament garnered significant media and fan attention, leading to heightened security measures at the event, likely in response to previous incidents of unruly fan behavior during his attempts to qualify for PGA Tour events. Despite the challenges, Charlie’s debut in the AJGA showcases his potential and sets the stage for future growth and development in his golfing career.

Charlie Woods struggling on AJGA debut after rounds of 78 and 81

First Round

Charlie carded three birdies on the round at the 6th, 7th and 14th, but he also threw in five bogeys and two consecutive double-bogeys at the 2nd and 3rd en route to an opening 6-over 78.

It left Charlie in the middle of the pack.

Second Round

Charlie once again struggled in the second round with eight bogeys and a double bogey at the par-4 5th.

His sole birdie came at the par-4 4th.

Charlie finds himself at 15-over par with one round left to play on Sunday.

He is T40 in the 51-player field.

Charlie’s inclusion in this week’s field has attracted significant amount of media and fan interest.

According to reports, armed police were at the entrance and thoroughly checking IDs before issuing badges.

The move was likely a response to the behaviour Charlie was subjected to in February as he attempted to get into his first PGA Tour event.

Charlie played in a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic and things didn’t go to plan as he shot a 16-over par 86.

But his round was marred by unruly fan behaviour at Lost Lake Golf Club.

Charlie Woods has been given extra security protection after being swamped by overzealous fans following his debut appearance this week in Carolina.

But the occasion was marred after the budding golfer was forced to bring in a host of security personnel and armed police to protect him from the crowd getting out of control.

It comes after Woods Jr attempted to qualify for the Cognizant Classic in February, only to see his hopes of progressing impacted by fans eager to catch a close glimpse of the American prodigy in action.

A big part of his run was hampered by a large number of fans swarming the young golfer, with intruding fans seen walking alongside him and asking for photographs, distracting him from focusing on the green.

The teenager ended up shooting a round of 86 and it is fair to say some part of his disappointing score was down to the disturbances caused while he was on course.

It seems his management and father were keen not to have a repeat for this tournament, as they brought in a team of security officers to shield him. According to reports, police have been deployed at the entrance and are ensuring fans are thoroughly checked before they are let in.

Heavy pressure on Charlie Woods

It is inevitable that Woods Jr will be facing the spotlight as he attempts to make his way into professional golf, largely due to his father’s exploits in the sport.

At the age of 48, Tiger is still playing, although he has limited himself to one major event a month after experiencing life-changing injuries in a car crash. He even caddied for Charlie at Notah Begay III and played alongside him at the PNC Championship.

If he is anywhere near as talented as his father, Charlie will no doubt have a bright future in the sport. But it seems fans need to be responsible in how they treat the youngster as he gets to grips with his status.

The eyes of the golf world were on a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. That doesn’t happen every day, but then it’s not every day that Tiger Woods’ son attempts to make his debut on the PGA Tour.

Charlie Woods teed off Thursday morning at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, one of four pre-qualifying sites for the Cognizant Classic, formerly known as the Honda Classic. A top-five finish would mean advancing to the Monday qualifying round for a chance at making the first PGA Tour event of his young career.

Woods is already a state golf champion and has played alongside his father in the past four PNC Championship tournaments in Orlando. The PNC Championship lets PGA Tour members play alongside their family members, and Charlie Woods made his debut at 11 years old after previously caddying for Tiger.

As the younger Woods looks to make his first major golf tournament, here’s a few things to know about him:
