BOWLING GREEN, FL (May 28, 2025) – In a performance that balanced firepower and control,
Charlie Woods (Jupiter, Fla., 2027) captured his
first AJGA title at the
2025 Team TaylorMade Invitational, closing with a final-round
66 to win by three shots at
15-under-par.
The 16-year-old, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, handled the pressure of a star-studded field and a stacked leaderboard with poise, finishing with rounds of 70-65-66 (201 total) at Streamsong Resort’s Black Course. Woods made 25 birdies and an eagle over 54 holes, just one shot shy of the tournament scoring record.
🔥 Final Round Breakdown
Woods began the day in a four-way tie for second, one shot behind Luke Colton. After a bogey on the 2nd hole, he caught fire with birdies on 3, 4, 6, and 7. His back nine featured more clutch play with birdies at 11, 13, and 15 before closing with steady pars to post a final-round 66.
