Notably, the PGA Tour, where Charlie Axel‘s dad is a legend, has a history of recruiting only the best golfers with multiple amateur victories or major championship titles. In fact, even Tiger Woods earned his ticket to the PGA Tour after winning U.S. Junior Amateurs (1991-93), U.S. Amateurs (1994-96), and the NCAA Championship at Stanford (1996).
Fans of golf know it is hard for anybody to enter the professional golfing world. Hence, many of them mentioned the young Woods would debut after he turned 18 or after winning enough official titles.
Making it to pro level is tough, I bet there are hundreds of kids his age with the same abilities, I hope he makes it, but a long and tough road ahead

Should at 18.
No need to go to college, he will inherit multi generational wealth. Get winning asap if he is good enough.
Never be as good as his old man though. Will have lot of expectations and pressure. Might burnout early.— T (@SimpHunter9) December 4, 2022
So much pressure. Swing looks amazing. Has he won any events in his age group yet? He has no reason to rush.
— Jim Weinschenk (@wyhank) December 4, 2022
Depends on what he wins as an Amateur. His name won’t carry him on the course. He has to win big amateur tourneys
— BJ McCullum (@WMTWILL) December 5, 2022
I think he goes to college, then turns pro.

Knowing his father, not till after college.
— Terry (@TerryTC2) December 5, 2022
He needs time. He’s a middle of the pack golfer in his age group. Throwing him in too early would be a disaster. I’m sure his Dad will hold those reigns tight.
