The Biggest Name in Golf Heartwarming Tiger Woods News Emerges on Thursday
Despite being well past his prime, Tiger Woods is undoubtedly the biggest name in golf.
Tiger Woods : It has been nearly a year since Woods last played in a PGA Tour event, as the nine-time USGA Champion missed the cut at The Open in July of 2024. He did play in the new TGL earlier this year, the indoor golf league he helped create with Rory McIlroy.
While fans would love to see him back on the tour, they were able to see him cheer on his 16-year-old son, Charlie Woods, on Thursday.
The younger Woods participated in the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier in Coral Springs, Florida, as some of the best amateur players vied for just five spots in the upcoming U.S. Junior Amateur.
Woods ended up shooting a one-under 71, which was good enough to tie with two other golfers, according to Golfweek.

This led to them advancing to a three-for-one playoff, which Woods eventually won.
This marks the second consecutive year that Woods has qualified for the U.S. Junior, as he also played at Oakland Hills in Michigan last year, where he ultimately missed the cut.
Unsurprisingly, his father, who holds the Guinness World Record for the most weeks as the No. 1 golfer in the world (638), had quite a bit of success as an amateur. The elder Woods won three U.S. Junior Amateur titles before he joined the tour.
As for Charlie, a 2027 recruit, he will look to win his first title when he competes in the July 21-26 tournament, which will be held at Trinity Forest in Dallas.
