The golf world is abuzz with the news that Charlie Woods, the son of golfing icon Tiger Woods, has chosen his college path. But will he follow in his father's footsteps?
Charlie, a rising star in high school golf, has committed to Florida State University, as revealed on his Instagram. This decision comes after an impressive high school career at The Benjamin School, where he played a pivotal role in their athletic success.
In 2023, Charlie and his team claimed the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Class 1A state championship. The following year, they finished third in the same tournament. As a junior, Charlie showcased his talent by aiding his team in securing their second state championship in three years, and fifth in the school's history. His impressive performance at Mission Inn Resort, where he shot a 4-under-par 68 in the final round, sealed the deal for the Buccaneers' victory.
Charlie's golfing journey began early; he first competed in the PNC Championships at just 11 years old, alongside his famous father. Despite their runner-up finish, it was a remarkable feat for the young golfer.
The Benjamin School, located in North Palm Beach, Florida, is renowned for its academic excellence and extracurricular offerings. The school's athletic program is particularly impressive, fostering teamwork and discipline across various sports, including football and basketball.
Charlie has already made a name for himself in the junior golf circuit, winning the AJGA Team TaylorMade Invitational and earning prestigious accolades.
