The fans can never get tired of watching Charlie Woods play and improve his game on the greens. Recently his gameplay has been getting better after a heartbreak earlier this year. We all know that the son of a 15-time major champion missed the cut at his first USGA event. The 15-year-old golfer finished tied for 240th with a 22-over 162 score after falling short of the top 64.
Despite this setback, Charlie’s golfing ambitions remain unchanged. He has expressed his dreams of winning the USGA Championship and, ultimately the U.S. Open, someday. Charlie has been actively competing in golf events since 2020 and is expected to continue playing throughout the 2024 season. So where will he compete in October?

October is shaping up to be an exciting month for junior golf and we don’t say this lightly. A bunch of exciting and career-changing tournaments lined up for the young golfers. Per the AJGA, young golfers like Charlie Woods will compete in not one, but two prestigious events in October from 10-13. The first is the Clubs for Kids Foundation Junior All-Star Invitational and the second is the Billy Horschel Junior Championship presented by Zurich.

Fans will be watching closely to see if Charlie will continue his hunt for a junior title or if this month will continue with the heartbreak. So, the 15-year-old son of golf legend Tiger Woods, could potentially make an appearance in one of these events, which includes the PING Invitational from October 11-14. However one of the most important events on the 2024 calendar may not see Charlie showcasing his skills. Fans are speculating that the golfer will not take part in the upcoming PNC Championship and they have a good reason to believe it.

The PNC Championship is a special golf tournament held every December, where golfers and their families play together. However, this year might be different for Charlie and Tiger Woods as the latter recently had back surgery to fix a nerve problem that had caused him pain throughout the 2024 season. The microdecompression surgery took place in September so it is fairly believable that Woods might be missing out on this one to rest and recover.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Charlie Woods ready to step out of Tiger's shadow and shine on his own this October?
Have an interesting take?
“The surgery went smoothly, and I’m hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season. I look forward to tackling this rehab and preparing myself to get back to normal life activities, including golf”, Woods wrote after the surgery. As much as Woods wants to be back for golf, recovering from this type of surgery takes several months and requires physical therapy. Last year, Charlie and Tiger Woods played together in the PNC Championship and did very well, resting at T5 after scoring 64 and 65. Fans will have to wait and see how Tiger Woods’s recovery goes and what happens at the 2024 PNC Championship. What do you think will happen? Let us know in the comment section below!
