Tiger Woods’ son Charlie has fallen short of qualifying for a Major tournament. He participated in the qualifier for the US Open on Thursday (May 8), but he didn’t shoot well enough to get into the field as an amateur.
Woods shot a respectable 75, which is three over par, but that wasn’t enough to get into the field for the Major. He fell seven strokes shy of the threshold score of 68 needed to advance to the next stage, so his first Major start will have to come later.
The young golfer has played on the PGA Tour before, so he’s been in professional tournaments. He just hasn’t been in a Major, and that’s not going to change in the immediate future.
There were many regional qualifying events in which a limited number of players could make it through to one of the 13 Final Qualifying sites. Even if Charlie Woods had hit the threshold, he would’ve only moved to the next stage of qualifying ahead of next month’s Major championship.
Woods’ 75 was shy of Arth Sinha (66), Matthew Marigliano (67), Tyler Stachkunas (68), and Carson Kiawonn (68), all of whom moved on to the second stage of the qualifiers. The 75 is down from last year when he carded an 81 and missed by an even wider margin.
The 2025 US Open will take place from June 12 to 15, 2025 at the Oakmont Country Club.
