Tiger Woods needs to make room on his trophy shelf for son Charlie.
The 16-year-old finished with a three-round score of 15-under 201 at the Team TaylorMade Invitational on Wednesday in winning his first American Junior Golf Association event at the Streamsong Resort Black Course. Woods began the day tied at 9-under 135 and finished with a final round of 6-under 66 to top a 71-player field that included four of the top-five ranked AJGA’s players.
Woods’ final round featured eight birdies and two bogeys, and he closed with four straight pars. He won the event by three strokes ahead of a three-way tie between fifth-ranked player Luke Colton, Willie Gordon and Phillip Dunham.
Woods opened the tournament with a first-round score of 70 and followed with a 65 on Tuesday. He was competing in just his fifth AJGA event, with his previous best finish a tie for 25th at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March.
Woods already counted several wins on his resume, with his first coming in the 14-15-year-old category at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s Major Championship in June 2023. Later that year, he won the Last Chance Regional golf tournament.

Ben Greenhalgh won a TV show, joined Mourinho’s Inter and lost his Champions League medal on a golf course
“And next he’s gonna meet the big boss, Jose Mourinho. I think it will finally sink in that he’s an Inter Milan player when he’s given that shirt,” Jamie Redknapp, the former England midfielder and Sky presenter, says.Ben Greenhalgh laughs as he remembers what happens next. “I nearly leave Mourinho hanging in a minute!”AdvertisementWe are watching a rerun of Football’s Next Star, the television show that was broadcast on Sky One in 2010 with the prize of a six-month contract at Inter for the winner. More than 7,000 boys entered before being whittled down to the final 10, who stayed together in a villa overlooking Lake Como.“Every week, it was a case of, ‘We want to be here next week, and that’s all we were fighting for’,” Greenhalgh says. “I don’t think we were ever fighting for who was going […]
The player we can’t write about and football’s ‘systemic failure’ to deal with sexual violence
Faith loves her football club and has followed their ups and downs for as long as she can remember. But her love has been tested in recent seasons by their refusal to suspend a player who has been accused of sexual assault by four different women.First arrested and questioned by police in July 2022, the player was questioned twice more in 2023 and now it’s up to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the public agency that conducts criminal prosecutions in England and Wales, to decide whether he should be charged with the alleged offences.AdvertisementIn the meantime, he has continued to play — and play well — for his Premier League team, but his presence in the side has been difficult for Faith to witness.“For the first time in my life, I watched a game and I didn’t even want us […]
Is Champions League money making Europe’s domestic football uncompetitive?
For all that this season marks a new epoch in the tale of booming UEFA prize money, cash will be far from the thoughts of Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday evening in Munich. Luis Enrique and his players sit on the cusp of the club’s first Champions League success, a prize both coveted and elusive since the French club were taken over by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) almost 15 years ago.AdvertisementSince that date, QSI has poured billions into transforming a team that, in an albeit truncated existence since they were formed in 1970, had only won the French league twice. Eleven more championships have followed in the subsequent 14 seasons, with PSG’s domestic ventures rarely even resembling a proper competition. A comparison of Ligue 1 wage bills, that great financial barometer of on-field performance, has long required two scales — one […]
Exile to ecstasy: How PSG’s ultras made their city seen and heard
When Paris Saint-Germain face Inter on Saturday, hoping to lift the Champions League trophy for the first time in their history, they will be supported by a group of fans who have made themselves seen — and heard — throughout the season.Around 3,000 of PSG’s ultras will be at the Allianz Arena in Munich for the final. Their colourful and noisy displays have become a defining feature of the team’s Champions League run, featuring huge tifos or banners, supporters with megaphones leading songs and drums punctuating the air at their Parc des Princes stadium.AdvertisementThe PSG ultras have also become instantly recognisable for their diversity. The Black, brown and white faces alongside each other in the stands reflect multicultural Paris and its surroundings.But behind the chants and cheering lies a troubled past. A longstanding struggle between fan groups with radically different […]
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is unclear. Could he join one of the teams at the Club World Cup?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al Nassr is up in the air after a disappointing season, and his contract is set to expire at the end of next month.The 40-year-old also posted a cryptic message on his social media earlier this week, writing: “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written.”With Al Nassr not involved in the tournament, there have long been suggestions that Ronaldo could compete at FIFA’s inaugural expanded Club World Cup, which takes place in the United States this summer. And the body’s president Gianni Infantino added fuel to the fire during an interview with YouTuber IShowSpeed last weekend.AdvertisementDiscussing Lionel Messi competing in the event with his MLS club Inter Miami, Infantino then added: “And Ronaldo might play for one of the teams as well at the Club World Cup. There are discussions with some clubs, so […]
Why have U.S. owners become so commonplace in Scottish football?
Viewers of TV drama Succession will be familiar with the lengths Logan Roy’s children would go to in their attempts to win his affection.In season two, his youngest son, Roman, has a think and decides to buy the football club from the Scottish city of Edinburgh he believes his father supports — Hearts.AdvertisementNaturally, it turns out his dad is actually a fan of their bitter city rivals, Hibernian, leading to Logan giving this response to the gift: “You know, maybe you’re right. How would I know what team I supported my whole f***ing life? I mean, maybe I support Kilmarnock. Or F***lechester Rangers? I mean, how can I possibly f***ing know?”.While a piece of the English football cake has become the ultimate soft-power toy for the world’s billionaires over the past two decades, Scottish clubs are still being bought up […]
