The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods is taking the first step toward trying to play on the PGA Tour. Charlie Woods has entered in a pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic.
The pre-qualifier for Woods will take place on Thursday at Lost Lake Golf Club. The top 25 and ties advance to the Monday qualifier, where four players will earn a spot in the field.
The PGA Tour said on its website that Woods will play alongside Olin Browne Jr. and Ruaidhri McGee. Browne, whose father is a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, played in the U.S. Open last year at Los Angeles Country Club.
Charlie Woods is no stranger to the stage. Tiger Woods has played with his son four times in the PNC Championship, a 36-hole tournament in which a major champion or a Players Championship winner teams up with a family member.
Tiger Woods, who withdrew from the Genesis Invitational last week with the flu, never won the tournament, formerly known as the Honda Classic in four tries. He has not said when he will play next.
