Charlie Woods attempted to become one of the youngest players ever to tee it up in a PGA Tour event when he entered into Thursday’s pre-qualifier for next week’s Cognizant Classic in Florida.
Unfortunately, he will not be moving onto the next round after a rather ugly 18 holes at Lost Lake in Hobe Sound, Florida. The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods finished with a 16-over-par score of 86.
In order to reach the qualifier round for the Cognizant, Woods needed to finish in the top 5 (and ties) after his round. He would’ve then had to finish in the top four on Monday in order to earn an entry into the PGA Tour event.

Hopefully the younger Woods is able to take this as the learning experience it is and grow from it. Had he made it into the PGA field, Charlie would’ve made his pro debut at 15 years, 21 days old and nearly a full year younger than Tiger was when he first teed up at a PGA Tour contest during the 1992 Los Angeles Open.
