The Open Championship - English
Tiger Woods - English
May didn’t start well for Charlie Woods. At just 16 years old, he was one of 10,202 players attempting to qualify for the U.S. Open but failed to advance for the second consecutive year.
Refusing to back down, the young golfer bounced back with grit. He competed at the demanding Streamsong Resort and secured his first AJGA win. “Being able to tell myself I won an absolutely incredible event and performed under pressure is just huge for my future,” he said after the victory.

While Woods climbs, Poulter Slips
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Luke Poulter, winner of the 2025 Schenkel Invitational, faced a different fate. He returned to Emerald Dunes Golf Club to finish his weather-delayed round, but after a playoff loss to Austen Truslow, he failed to qualify directly for the U.S. Open.
Charlie, by contrast, continued his hot streak. On May 28, he won the Team TaylorMade Invitational with a strong final round. The result? A jump from No. 609 to No. 14 in the AJGA Boys Rankings – a staggering 595-spot leap.
Family support in defeat
Despite the tough loss, Luke found support from his father, Ian Poulter, who praised his son’s performance in an Instagram story: “Can’t believe how impressive that 65 was today to get in position. We keep using this experience and keep improving.”
Though he missed out on a major debut, Luke will be the first alternate for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont. If enough players withdraw, his chance could still come.
Woods eyes the elite stage
Meanwhile, Charlie Woods already has his next stage set: the Northeast Amateur, scheduled for June 18-21 in Rhode Island. Part of the Elite Amateur Golf Series, the event has seen past champions like Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, and Luke Donald.
With two big wins and rising momentum, Charlie isn’t just building his path – he’s already making his mark.
