Fifteen-year-old Charlie, who celebrated his birthday in February, has earned a prestigious sponsor’s invite to showcase his skills at the upcoming Will Lowery Junior Championship held at the Carolina Trace Country Club in Sanford.

Notably, Charlie has enjoyed strong support from his father, Tiger, who has been a constant presence at his son’s junior events. Tiger’s involvement goes beyond mere attendance; he has been seen carrying Charlie’s bag during tournaments such as the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship last November. Together, they’ve even teed off at events like the PNC Championship, securing an impressive T5 finish in December.
Charlie’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges, as seen in his recent attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour debut at the Cognizant Classic pre-qualifier. Despite his determination, the young golfer faced adversity, posting a 16-over-par 86 in a round marked by crowd disturbances as enthusiastic fans sought to follow his progress closely.
However, setbacks have not deterred Charlie’s ambition. Last year, he demonstrated his prowess with an impressive 66 in the Last Chance Regional, securing victory and earning a spot in the esteemed 2023 Notah Begay III Boys’ Jr Golf National Championship. His performance at the championship, where he finished T17 in the Boys 14-15 Division, underscored his potential in the competitive golfing arena.
In the rankings, Charlie currently holds the 957th spot in the Junior Golf Scoreboard, a testament to his dedication and skill development in the sport.
Meanwhile, Tiger’s own golfing journey has faced recent challenges, with his last competitive appearance being his withdrawal from the second round of February’s Genesis Invitational. Despite missing out on the Players Championship, Tiger’s return to the field has been confirmed for the upcoming Masters tournament, signaling his ongoing commitment to the sport he has dominated with 15 Major championships to his name.
