WEST LAFAYETTE — Charlie Woods entered the Junior PGA Championship and started slow, just cracking the top 50 on Tuesday at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette. Woods would prove to doubters, if there were any, that he could hold his own on the big stage just over a week after being cut in the U.S. Amateur Championship in Dallas.

Woods, a rising junior at the Benjamin School and son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, is playing the 49th Junior PGA Championships in Indiana.

Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, shot a three-over 74 in the final round of the 2025 Junior PGA Championships at Purdue University on Friday to finish tied for ninth place.
