Charlie Woods' quest for the 2026 U.S. Open ended this week as the 17-year-old amateur and son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods fell agonizingly short of progressing to the final stage of qualifying.
He finished one shot short of a playoff Tuesday after carding an even-par 72 at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Fla. Including a costly double-bogey at the 171-yard, par-3 seventh hole, he finished tied for 10th.
The top five finishers there advanced to U.S. Open Final Qualifying -- known as 'Golf's Longest Day' -- on June 8. They were Brett Roberts, amateur Blake Trimble, Hunter Fry, Eric Dietrich and Tyler Stachkunas.
It was Woods' best qualifying effort to date after finishing seven shots off the pace with a 75 at Wellington National Golf Club in Wellington, Fla., in 2025 and posting a nine-over 81 in 2024 at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
The 2026 U.S. Open is taking place from June 18-21 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. Tiger Woods won his three U.S. Open titles at Pebble Beach (2000), Bethpage Black (2002) and Torrey Pines (2008).
Charlie Woods has committed to play golf at Florida State as a member of the 2027 recruiting class. He is currently No. 14 in the American Junior Golf Association rankings.
