Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie Woods, has capped off a pivotal year in his junior golf career by earning a spot on the prestigious 2025 Rolex Junior All-America First Team, a recognition awarded by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) to the top junior golfers in the world.
The honor marks Woods’ first appearance on the First Team, placing him among an elite group of 24 boys and girls selected for their outstanding performance throughout the season.
Representing Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and set to graduate in 2027, Woods climbed to No. 9 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings with a total of 280.291 points across six events. His breakout moment came in May at the Team TaylorMade Invitational, where he secured his first AJGA victory with rounds of 70-65-66 for a total score of 201, earning a massive 225 points. This win proved decisive in his rise through the rankings and solidified his reputation as a rising star in junior golf.
Throughout the season, Woods demonstrated consistency and resilience. He posted an impressive T9 finish at the Boys Junior PGA Championship in July, shooting an excellent 276 over four rounds (70-66-66-74), and added valuable experience at high-profile tournaments like The Junior PLAYERS Championship and the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley.
