Charlie Woods Fails to Qualify for 2025 U.S. Open

Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, has missed qualifying for the U.S. Open for the second consecutive year, shooting a 3-over-par 75 at the regional qualifier in Wellington, Florida, falling short of the 68 needed to advance. This is an improvement from his previous year's 9-over-par 81, showing progress in his game despite the setback. At 16, Charlie has shown promise, having competed alongside his father in five PNC Championships and qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, with eligibility for three more years. Tiger Woods has encouraged his son to forge his own path amid the pressures of media scrutiny and the weight of his family name. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods himself remains out of competitive play following surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon and is expected to return to golf in the PGA Tour Champions circuit next year. The 2025 U.S. Open will take place at Oakmont Country Club, with record entries and a final qualifying stage set for early June.
