Charlie Woods named to AJGA Rolex Junior All-America first team

Charlie Woods, 16, was named to the American Junior Golf Association Rolex Junior All‑America first team on Wednesday, joining 11 other boys honored on the AJGA’s annual list and marking a milestone his father, Tiger Woods, reached in the early 1990s. The selection was determined exclusively by the AJGA’s Rolex rankings as of October 14 and recognizes Charlie’s breakout season for The Benjamin School in South Florida.

Charlie earned the distinction after a season that included his first AJGA victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, a performance that drew attention for both his score and shotmaking. He also recorded a hole‑in‑one at the Junior Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in September and helped lead The Benjamin School to the Florida Region 14A championship at Park West Palm, firing a one‑over 72 that included a clutch 20‑foot birdie on the 18th hole to secure a four‑shot margin. The regional win qualified Benjamin for the Florida Class 1A State Championship at Mission Inn Resort in Howey‑in‑the‑Hills on November 14 and 15.

The AJGA requires players to make at least six starts in Rolex‑ranked events to be eligible for the Rolex Junior All‑America teams....
