Tiger Woods' Son Charlie Fails to Qualify for 2026 U.S. Amateur Championship

Tiger Woods' son, Charlie, will have to wait another year before attempting to play in the U.S. Amateur Championship.

The 17-year-old participated in Thursday's U.S. Amateur qualifying at Ohio State University's Scarlet Course and shot five-over 76, missing the cut by six strokes. The elder Woods won the U.S. Amateur Championship three straight times before going on to become a 15-time major championship winner.

Despite his struggles on Thursday, the youngster drew a lot of attention on the course. He carried his own bag throughout the round.

Per Alex Myers of Golf Digest, Woods will now turn his attention to the U.S. Junior Amateur, which will be played later this month at Saucon Valley. His father also won the U.S. Juniors three consecutive times.

Woods will finish high school next year and has committed to play college golf at Florida State.

Myers noted that 13 competitors qualified for the U.S. Amateur Championship with two alternates. William Lisle and Lorenzo Pinili led the way at four-under 67. The event will be held Aug. 10-16 at Merion Golf Club.
