It was not to be for Charlie Woods at the 2025 US Junior Amateur as Tiger Woods‘ son comfortably missed the cut for the second year in a row.
Woods Sr won this championship three times between 1991 and 1993, but the talented teenager will have to wait at least another year for his maiden triumph following a disappointing week in Dallas, Texas.
Woods carded an 11-over 81 at Brook Hollow Golf Club during round one on Monday to put himself right behind the eight ball and limit his chances of ending inside the top-64 from a field of 264.
While the 15-time Major winner was seen watching his boy compete on the first day, Charlie Woods ran solo at Trinity Forest Golf Club in round two.
The absence of his father coincided with a markedly-improved display from the 16-year-old, but it remained far from enough to join medallist, Mason Howell and the other 63 qualifiers in the match-play section.

Georgia-native Howell, who reached the US Open earlier this year as an 18-year-old, led the way on seven-under after stroke play, 21 shots better than Woods was able to manage.
The Benjamin School pupil opened up with a bogey at Trinity Forest’s par-4 first, but immediately bounced back with a birdie at the 593-yard par-5 second.
A par at the third preceded consecutive pairs of bogey-birdie across the following four holes, with two pars at the eighth and ninth ultimately adding up to a par score at the turn.
Woods dropped a shot at the par-3 11th to fall back to one-over for his day and 12-over for the championship, but he saved another stroke via a birdie at the short par-4 14th.
Two more bogeys sandwiched Woods’ final gain at the par-5 16th before a closing six on the par-4 closing hole left the teenager three-over at the par-71 course on Tuesday and 14-over for the championship – 11 shots outside of the three-over cut line.
