Previously, Charlie had already achieved notable victories, including his triumph in the 14-15 age category at the Major Championship of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour in June 2023. This was followed by the victory in the Last Chance Regional golf tournament that same year.
Earlier this month, Charlie attempted to qualify for the US Open, but was unsuccessful in his second attempt, with a round of 75 strokes (3 over par), seven strokes over the required score of 68 at the Wellington (Florida) Golf Club.
Last summer, Woods qualified to compete in the U.S. Junior Amateur, although he didn’t make the cut.
