Tiger Woods' son Charlie has verbally committed to play golf for Florida State University, joining the Seminoles' 2027 recruiting class. The 17-year-old junior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, has been making waves in junior golf, jumping to 21st in the Rolex American Junior Golf Association rankings after winning the Team TaylorMade Invitational last May.

Charlie's commitment marks a significant recruiting win for Seminoles coach Trey Jones, who is entering his 23rd season. The younger Woods follows a different path than his father, who played two seasons at Stanford before turning professional in 1996. Charlie's commitment comes alongside that of Miles Russell, the top-ranked junior player in the country.

Florida State, which finished runner-up at the 2024 NCAA Championships, has a strong golf pedigree, having coached PGA Tour winners like Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger. Charlie Woods' decision to join the Seminoles rather than follow his father's Stanford route or his sister Sam's current path at the Cardinal adds an interesting chapter to the Woods family's collegiate sports legacy.
