Amid Tiger Woods’ Ryder Cup Rumors, Charlie Woods Stamps His Authority to Carry Forward Father’s Fractured Legacy

Just when the golf world thought they had seen enough of Charlie Woods this year, the wunderkind is back to surprise the community yet again. Just weeks after shooting his lowest score, Charlie Woods is back at it. This time, he is carrying his school on his back on the South Florida PGA Junior Tour.

Last month, Junior Woods won the Florida Last Chance to advance to the National Championship later in November. As his recent win shows, his streak of excellent form continues.

Fans who keep a tab on the 15x major winner’s son were left wondering where the teenager will land in his high school career. As per The Palm Beach Post, the Benjamin School of Palm Beach Gardens in Florida got lucky to have the 14-year-old kid as a freshman and reaped full benefits from it.

Woods Jr. shot a final score of 102 on 36 holes at Cypress Woods Golf and Country Club in Naples to become the individual champion of the two-day tournament. His team hopes to win the fourth state championship buoyed by the strong performance from the teenager. This comes on the heels of a solid performance last week.

Charlie Woods shot a six-under-par 66, raking up nine birdies, to win the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship at the Mission Inn Resort, Florida. Interestingly, his father, Tiger Woods, caddied for him. It was senior Woods’ first outing on the greens after he withdrew from this year’s Masters after suffering from a long-term injury.

Although still recovering from an injury, the Ryder Cup brought the former World No.1 to the spotlight. As Zach Johnson’s men succumbed to a mighty European display, fans questioned the US captain’s leadership qualities and demanded he be replaced with Tiger Woods.

Is Tiger Woods slated to be the next Ryder Cup captain in 2025?

Woods, however, has a mixed record at the Ryder Cup with 13 wins, 21 losses, and 3 halved matches. The former World No.1 has played eight editions of the Ryder Cup, winning only once. But fans believe he can make a much broader impact on the team as a captain at Bethpage Black in 2025. The idea was first floated by none other than former USA skipper, Paul Azinger himself.

With Woods still recovering from a foot injury, fans are eager to see if the father-son duo appears at this year’s PNC Championship in December.
