Charlie Woods commits to play golf for Florida State in 2027

Charlie Woods, the son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods, has verbally committed to play golf at Florida State and will be a member of the 2027 recruiting class.

Woods, a junior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, skyrocketed to 21st in the Rolex American Junior Golf Association rankings after winning the Team TaylorMade Invitational with a 54-hole total of 15-under 201 last May. He was ranked 604th before picking up his first AJGA victory.

He tied for ninth at the Boys Junior PGA Championship in July and for 18th at the Rolex Tournament of Champions in November. Woods then helped The Benjamin School capture a Florida High School Athletic Association Class A state title in November, carding a 4-under 68 in the final round.

Jones has also coached five-time major champion Brooks Koepka and PGA Tour member Daniel Berger.
