Charlie Woods Misses 54‑Hole Cut at Junior PGA

The result underscores a pattern of late‑round collapses after a disruptive playoff exit at the U.S. Junior Amateur.

Overview

  • Woods failed to advance after the third round on Thursday when a 5‑over 77 left him 6‑over for the tournament at 222 following rounds of 75, 70 and 77.
  • He had rebounded in round two with a 2‑under 70 to make the 36‑hole cut and sit around the projected cut line going into the weekend.
  • The week continued a recent sequence of inconsistent results for the 17‑year‑old, who opened poorly, produced a strong middle round and then unraveled late in round three.
  • A week earlier at the U.S. Junior Amateur a spectator’s camera click interrupted his backswing on a playoff hole and contributed to his elimination, an episode that heightened scrutiny of crowd etiquette and player composure.
  • Woods is a Florida State commit and the son of Tiger Woods whose performances at Fields Ranch — the site of next year’s PGA Championship — will shape expectations about his development and future selections given recent missed qualification bids.
