Charlie Woods is poised to feature in an elite junior golf tournament in February.
Woods, a junior at the Benjamin School and son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, is in the field for the AJGA Simplify Boys Championship at Carlton Woods. Tournament play is scheduled for Feb. 13-16 on the Fazio Championship Course in Woodlands, Texas.
The invitation-only American Junior Golf Association event features a loaded field of elite junior golfers.
Reigning tournament champion Miles Russell, the current No. 1 player in the AJGA's Rolex Rankings, and Royal Palm Beach's Giuseppe Puebla, the current AJGA No. 2. Six of the AJGA's current top 10, as well as 14 of the top 20 overall players, headline the field.
Fourteen Floridians are registered for the event, including a strong Palm Beach County contingent of Puebla, Woods, North Palm Beach's Wylie Inman and Riviera Beach's Brooks Colton.
