Tiger Woods' son, Charlie Woods, announced that he has committed to play golf at Florida State University. The 16-year-old high school junior is currently ranked as the No. 9 player in his class and No. 21 in the American Junior Golf Association's rankings.
Why it matters
Charlie Woods' commitment to the Florida State golf program continues the legacy of golf royalty attending the school, following in the footsteps of Jack Nicklaus' grandson Nick O'Leary, who played football for the Seminoles. Charlie's rapid rise in junior golf rankings also suggests he may be poised to follow in his father's footsteps as a golfing prodigy.
The details
In November, Charlie Woods shot a 68 in the second round of Florida's Class 1A state championship to help The Benjamin School win by five strokes. He also won the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May and finished tied for 19th at last month's Junior Orange Bowl International Championship. At the time of his Team TaylorMade Invitational win last May, Woods was ranked No. 606 on the American Junior Golf rankings, showcasing his significant improvement over the past year.
