Charlie Woods to Play US Open Qualifying Rounds

Fifteen-year-old Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, is making waves once again in the golfing world. After his highly publicized debut at a Monday qualifier for the PGA Tour’s Cognizant Classic in February, where he shot a 16-over-par 86, including a notable 12 on a par-4 hole, Charlie is now gearing up for another high-profile qualifying experience.

This time, Charlie is set to compete in the first stage of 18-hole local qualifying for the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. The event is scheduled to take place at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, with 84 players vying for a chance to advance. Only five players from the field will move on to the 36-hole final qualifying round.

It’s an exciting opportunity for Charlie, who is venturing into U.S. Open qualifying for the first time. With his father, Tiger Woods, a three-time U.S. Open champion, golf fans and media alike are eager to see how Charlie will fare in this competitive environment.

While Tiger Woods is not yet in the field for Pinehurst, there’s anticipation that he may receive a special exemption from the USGA in the coming month. Such an offer would add another layer of intrigue to the Woods family’s presence at one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments.

As Charlie Woods continues to make his mark on the golfing world, all eyes will be on him as he tees off in pursuit of his U.S. Open dreams.
