Charlie Woods has his tee time next week for his first two rounds at Oakland Hills County Club in the U.S. Junior Amateur.
Charlie, 15, the son of Tiger Woods, is making his United States Golf Association championship debut, and will tee off at 8:28 a.m. Monday on the North Course first hole. Charlie will tee off Tuesday at 1:48 p.m. on the restored South Course off No. 10. His playing partners are Chase Kyes of Birmingham, Alabama, and Davis Ovard of Frisco, Texas.
Charlie is ranked the 763rd junior golfer in the world, according to The Universal Golf Rankings (TUGR), but helped his high school team, the Benjamin School, to a Florida state title last winter as the only freshman on the squad.
Tiger is expected to be on the grounds, after missing the cut Friday in Scotland at The Open Championship. Parents cannot caddie in the event.
TRENDING: Charlie Woods ready for his US Junior Am debut at Oakland Hills. Just ask his coach.
The USGA on Friday released all tee times for the 264 contestants for the first two rounds of stroke play, with each competitor playing one round on each course. The top 64 will make match play, beginning Wednesday on the South Course, with the final set for 36 holes Saturday.
Outside of Charlie, Miles Russell is perhaps the biggest name in the field. The 15-year-old made his PGA Tour debut three weeks ago at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit (he shot even par and missed the cut). He is the No. 1 player in the American Junior Golf Association rankings, and No. 7 on TUGR. Russell tees off at 8 a.m. on the North Course in Monday’s first round, and 1:10 p.m. on the South Course on Tuesday in the second round.
THE COURSE: I played the newly restored South Course at Oakland Hills. Here’s my review.
Two golfers from Michigan are in the field, with Connor Fox (Lake Orion) teeing at 7 a.m. Monday on the South Course and Ieuan Jones (Ann Arbor) teeing at 7:44 a.m., also on the South Course.
Here is the full list of 2024 U.S. Junior Amateur tee times.
