Charlie Woods has landed his first NIL deal.
The son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods has already made a name for himself in the sport, winning the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May 2025, The Athletic reports. He is a senior at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, FL.
His other athletic wins include a top-10 finish at the 2025 Boys Junior PGA Championship, a top-20 finish at the 2025 Rolex Tournament of Champions, and qualifying for the 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at Saucon Valley Country Club, according to a press release. He also helped his high school golf team qualify for the 2023 and 2025 Florida High School team state championships.
Looking ahead, the younger Woods plans to play golf at Florida State, a university that has produced some of golf’s best players, including Luke Clanton and Lottie Woad, The Athletic notes.
TaylorMade
What’s more, TaylorMade, a California-based golf equipment brand, will now sign the young star to an NIL deal, according to the press release. Woods joins a roster of amateur golfers that includes Miles Russell, who will be his college teammate.
Tiger also has ties to TaylorMade, which he chose as his equipment manufacturer and a partner of his apparel company, Sun Day Red, per The Athletic.
“Having TaylorMade in my corner has been great. They’ve supported me a lot over the last year, and I’m really excited to officially be part of Team TaylorMade. So many great players have been a part of this team, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead,” Woods, 17, said in the press release.
TaylorMade Golf CEO and President David Abeles commented:
“We build our roster of athletes around those who are driven by the game of golf and have an unmatched desire to compete at the highest level. Charlie epitomizes that every time he tees it up. The growth of his game over the last few years speaks for itself and we are humbled he chose TaylorMade to support him as he competes at the junior level and during his transition to collegiate golf.”
