On Father’s Day, Charlie Woods shared a sincere tribute to his father, Tiger Woods, expressing deep appreciation for his unwavering support throughout his life. The 16-year-old posted a personal video on X via the American Junior Golf Association, where he conveyed gratitude to the 15-time major champion despite the occasional conflicts they have.

Charlie acknowledged their disagreements openly but emphasized the strength of their relationship, saying:

“Thank you, Dad, for believing me in times where I didn’t even believe in myself, and for all the times where you have supported me no matter what I do. Even though we argue a lot, I still cherish every moment, and I would just like to say thank you for everything that you’ve done for me.”

Born on February 8, 2009, to Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, Charlie has been steadily advancing his golf career, following closely in his father‘s footsteps. The father and son team have participated together in the PNC Championship regularly since 2020. Reflecting on their partnership, Tiger shared with ESPN:

“Any time I get a chance to spend time with my son, it’s always special. And to do it in a competitive forum, the last couple of years have been magical, and to be able to do it again, we’re looking forward to it.”

Tiger remains actively involved in Charlie’s development as a junior golfer. In 2023, Tiger served as Charlie’s caddie during the Last Chance Regional in Florida. Their strong bond was highlighted in 2024 when Charlie scored his first hole-in-one at the PNC Championship, a moment Tiger enthusiastically celebrated alongside him.

Charlie Woods Invited to Prestigious Northeast Amateur Tournament

Earlier this month, Charlie Woods received an exclusive invitation to compete in the Northeast Amateur, which is scheduled from June 18 to 21 at the Wannamoisett Country Club in Rhode Island. This prestigious event is part of the Elite Amateur Golf Series and has a rich history dating back to 1962.

The invitation followed Charlie’s impressive victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational held on May 28, where he secured his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title by winning with a three-shot lead at the Black Course within Florida’s Streamsong Resort. This win propelled Charlie to No. 14 in the AJGA boys rankings, marking a significant milestone in his junior golf career.

The Northeast Amateur boasts a distinguished list of past champions, including golfing luminaries such as Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Luke Donald, and Nick Dunlap. Dunlap claimed the title in 2023 before turning professional and joining the PGA Tour in 2024.

Mick Hogan, co-chair of the tournament, highlighted Charlie’s potential impact on the event‘s visibility, stating via the Rhode Island Golf Association on X:

“He’ll probably be arguably the biggest draw to come that week. We’ll wait and see what happens if it does come through, it could be an unbelievable week for everybody because I think we’d have a lot of turn out. A lot of eyes on the event and not just on Charlie. Everyone else in the field. We’ll see what happens.”

As of now, Charlie Woods has not confirmed his participation in the 2025 Northeast Amateur.

The Continuing Impact of Tiger Woods on Charlie’s Golf Journey

Tiger Woods’ active mentorship remains a critical element in Charlie’s growth as a golfer. Their shared experiences in competitive settings like the PNC Championship not only strengthen their bond but also provide invaluable exposure to high-level competition for Charlie. Tiger’s presence as a caddie and supporter in key tournaments underscores their deep connection through the sport.

This father–son relationship extends beyond golf, with Charlie’s recent Father’s Day message highlighting the blend of support and occasional disagreements that have shaped their unique dynamic. Their ability to maintain a close bond while navigating the pressures of professional and junior golf reflects the resilience and sincerity of their connection.

Charlie’s progression in junior golf combined with his growing recognition in elite amateur events suggests a promising future ahead, potentially continuing Tiger Woods’ legacy in the sport. Observers and fans alike will be watching keenly as Charlie takes on new challenges, with his father’s guidance an enduring foundation.
