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.

The teenager played incredibly well in the PNC Championship against players like John Daly and Justin Thomas. Therefore, many fans found him worthy of playing in a professional event. However, they also wanted him to wait until he finished his studies to join his father and others on the Tour. 

Has Tiger Woods’ son ever won an amateur title?

Charlie Woods has begun his journey as an amateur golfer and has yet to win a championship title. According to his amateur profile, he has attended eight events and made the cuts six times. His profile also shows that the 13-year-old is going in the right direction, as he has already secured 1 top 10 finish and 5 top 25 finishes among the six cuts he made.
