Charlie Woods is enjoying the best season of his young golf career – and his winning run shows no sign of slowing down.

The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods helped The Benjamin School claim yet another team title on Tuesday, as the Bucs edged out fierce rivals Oxbridge Academy to win the District 13-1A Championship at the Champions Club at Summerfield in Stuart, Florida.

Benjamin sealed a three-shot win on 6-under par in what proved to be one of the toughest district fields anywhere in the state. 

The victory sets the tone for their 2025 postseason campaign and continues a blistering run of form for Woods and his teammates.

Charlie continues breakout season

This latest team win continues what has been Charlie Woods' standout season to date - and more silverware could be on the horizon. 

Earlier this year in May, he claimed his first-ever individual American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational — a breakthrough moment that showcased just how far his game has come.

He also made a stunning hole-in-one at famed TPC Sawgrass during the Junior Players Championship in September.

Woods has also been a consistent force for Benjamin throughout the fall, helping the school collect multiple tournament wins, including last month’s triumph at the South Florida PGA Junior Golf West Coast High School Championship at The Club at TwinEagles Talon Course in Naples.

At the District 13-1A Championship, Woods carded a 2-over 74 to finish tied for ninth, his round marred only by a double bogey on the par-5 8th, but otherwise full of solid, confident golf as has been the case all season. 

While Woods added another steady score to Benjamin’s total, it was freshman standout Clint Lewis who led the line for the Bucs by winning the individual tournament. 

The 14-year-old carded a six-birdie 5-under 67 to capture the individual district title, finishing two shots clear of Oxbridge duo Joey Iaciofano and Kenny Klein, along with Benjamin’s Andrew Tsar.

Lewis' fearless play and clutch putting were key to Benjamin’s 282 total, while Tsar’s 69 and Matthew Stigliano’s level-par 72 rounded out a complete team performance for the Bucs. 

The victory for Benjamin School will no doubt have put a smile on the face of Charlie's father Tiger, who continues to recover from the seventh back surgery of his career earlier this month.

Former World No.1 and 15-time major champion Woods, who turns 50 before the end of the year, is likely now targeting a return to competitive action at The Masters in April 2026.

Benjamin and Oxbridge advance to Regional Championship

Benjamin and Oxbridge Academy – the last two Class 1A state champions – now both advance to the Region 4-1A Championships, which will be held at The Park in West Palm Beach on Monday 3 November.

The district event marked the first elimination stage on the road to the Florida High School State Championships, set for 11-19 November at Mission Resort + Club in Howey-in-the-Hills. 

The field at the District 13-1A Championship featured four of Florida’s top 50 teams according to iWanamaker’s latest rankings:

  • No. 1 Benjamin
  • No. 8 Oxbridge Academy
  • No. 41 Cardinal Newman
  • No. 46 King’s Academy

Another win for the Bucs

Benjamin’s latest triumph with The Benjamin School adds to an already impressive 2025 campaign. 

The Bucs have been dominant all season, racking up wins and proving themselves the team to beat in Florida high school golf. 

For Charlie, the postseason brings yet another chance to underline just how far his game has matured. 

His poise, ball-striking, and course management have all made major strides this season — and with his confidence soaring, he’s emerging as one of the most exciting young players in the state.

Much to his proud father's delight. 

Charlie is currently ranked ninth in the latest AJGA standings - but he is outside the top 900 in the world amateur golf rankings.
