Charlie Axel Woods is the son of the GOAT in golf, Tiger Woods, and former Swedish model Elin Nordegren. His sister is Sam Alexis Woods.
Like father, like son — literally.
Charlie Axel Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods and former model Elin Nordegren, has aspirations of a pro golf career − like his famous father.
The young Woods is making a name for himself in the golf world − as a player and a mini Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods sometimes play golf tournaments together.
The soon-to-be junior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens in Palm Beach County, Florida, spends a considerable amount of time playing golf for the Benjamin Buccaneers. And he’s had some headline-making moments, like his father:
As a freshman in 2023, Charlie Woods helped The Benjamin School Buccaneers varsity golf team win a state title.
However, the freshman came up short in his first attempt at qualifying for the U.S. Open in April 2024. Woods, a member of Benjamin’s state championship golf team, had finished with a 9-over 81 at the Legacy Golf and Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, in a U.S. Open qualifying tournament.
As a 15-year-old sophomore in fall 2024, he played on Benjamin’s No. 2 line and finished his sophomore varsity campaign as the No. 11 boys golfer in Florida per iWanamaker.
Charlie Woods hit a hole-in-one at the PNC Championship in December 2024, and Tiger Woods was there to see it.
For a second time, and this time as a sophomore, Charlie Woods failed to qualify for the U.S. Open on May 5, 2025. at Wellington National in Florida. The son of Tiger Woods shot a 3-over 75 on the 18-hole championship golf course designed by two-time Major Champion Johnny Miller.
Tiger Woods is constantly parenting and protecting his son, a rising junior on the Benjamin School golf team. The spotlight has been on Charlie Woods in recent years as he’s started playing in more public events whether in high school or junior golf.
And that means the burden of carrying one of the most famous last names in golf history.

“I was always reminding him, just be you,” Tiger Woods told the Palm Beach Post in a Dec. 20, 2024, sports column. “Charlie is Charlie. Yes, he’s my son. He’s going to have my last name and it’s going to be part of his core. But I just want him to be just himself and be his own person.
“In this day and age where everyone is basically media, with all the phones, being constantly filmed and constantly people watching, that’s just part of his generation. And that’s part of the world that he has to maneuver through.”
Charlie Woods is one of three famous Benjamin School students — currently. His sister Sam Alexis Woods graduates class of 2025. During her time at Benjamin, the athlete made headlines of her own playing soccer and running track for state-champion teams.
Kai Madison Trump, the eldest granddaughter of Tiger Woods’ friend, President Donald Trump, and the daughter of Tiger’s girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, also plays golf at the Benjamin School. The 18-year-old Kai Trump is a rising senior, class of 2026, and has committed to playing golf for the University of Miami in fall 2026 after high school graduation.
