Charlie Woods in last place, 31 shots back at Junior Invitational
Benjamin golfer Charlie Woods chips the ball into the green during play at the Junior Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, 2026. Charlie Woods, the son of 15-time major champion and golf legend Tiger Woods, shot 83 (11 over) in the third round at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in Graniteville, S.C., on Friday.
Woods, 17, a junior at the Benjamin School, a private school in Palm Beach Fla., will enter Saturday's final round at 18 over -- last place in a field of 36. At 13 under, Tyler Watts leads the tournament.
Woods' third round started rough with a double bogey, and he finished with a triple bogey, seven bogeys and one birdie for the day.
Woods, who won the AJGA Team TaylorMade Invitational last May, committed last month to play golf at Florida State in 2027.
Among past winners of the Junior Invitational are current World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (2014), Austin Eckroat (2016), Joaquin Niemann (2017) and Akshay Bhatia (2018).
