Charlie Woods has just wrapped up his first round at the Cognizant Classic in The TAIM ExchangePalm Beaches' pre-qualifier as the the 15-year-old makes his first attempt at qualifying for a PGA Tour event.

The son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods was one of the first golfers to tee off at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, and he arrived more than an hour before his 7:39 a.m. tee time to get some practice on his putting. Woods was paired with longtime mini-tour pro Olin Browne Jr., son of three-time Tour winner Olin Browne, for the round.

Overall, Woods struggled in the opening round, finishing 16-over-86 with four bogeys, two double bogeys and taking a 12 on the par-4 7th hole. But the teen got the experience of playing in a qualifying event and appeared to enjoy the round.

Billy Basham was the leader with a 65 as of early Thursday afternoon with only a few groups finished with the round.

The top five and ties at Woods' pre-qualifying site will advance to Monday's open qualifier (Lost Lake is one of four pre-qualifying sites). The top four from the Monday qualifier will advance to the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, contested next Thursday-Sunday at PGA National's Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Woods was trying to make his first start on the PGA Tour at 15 years, 21 days old, younger than when his dad made his debut on the tour at 16 years old.

Although this is Woods' first time competing to qualify for an official PGA Tour event, he has played alongside his father in the PNC Championship – which features PGA Tour players partnering with family members in an alternate-shot competition – since 2019.
