Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of Tiger, will start his attempt to qualify for a first PGA Tour event on Thursday.
Woods Jnr will compete in one of four pre-qualifying tournaments as he aims to reach the Cognizant Classic. The top 25 players and ties advance to Monday’s final qualifier, with four then earning places in the main field.
Woods has entered the 18-hole pre-qualifier at Lost Lake Golf Club, where he has been grouped with Ireland’s Ruaidhri McGee and American Olin Browne Jr. The players who come through that stage will go to the final qualifier at Tesoro Club’s Palmer Course in a bid to clinch their spot at the Cognizant Classic, which takes starts on February 29.
The teenage Woods has competed in the last four editions of the PNC Championship exhibition event alongside his father, while he also finished tied 17th in the boys’ 14-15 division of last year’s Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship.
