At the Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, at the end of February 2024, Charlie Woods was swinging for an eventual spot in a PGA Tour event. This particular round was a pre-qualifier; the young golfer would need to finish in the top five, then in the top four of the following qualifier round to tee off at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Woods shot too many strokes above par, though, and was unable to advance.
What he did do, however, was draw a whole lot of attention, and some very overzealous fans. While Woods focused on making shots, spectators focused on the fact that Tiger Woods’ son was playing a mere few feet away from them. By the time he reached the second half of his 18-hole game, he had a crowd of over 50 following him around. Without ropes separating the fairway from the walking path, fans invaded the green, creeping closer and closer to Woods as he golfed. One approached him for an autograph, several went after his ball in the brush, and one hopeful woman pulled her granddaughter out of school in hopes of sparking a love match.
At the end of his game, The Palm Beach Post reports Wood commented to his caddie, “That was some round, huh?” — although it’s unclear whether he was talking about his non-winning score, or the scores of people invading his golf game.
