A Woods could play in next week’s PGA Tour event. 

Charlie.

In a surprise announcement early Wednesday, the PGA Tour said Charlie Woods, the 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion, is playing the Cognizant Classic pre-qualifier on Thursday. Charlie Woods will play at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, one of four pre-qualifier sites, and about 25 players and ties from there will move on to Monday’s qualifier, where four players will earn spots into the Cognizant. 

On Thursday, Charlie Woods will tee off at 7:39 a.m. ET. Part of his group includes Olin Browne Jr., the son of the three-time Tour winner. 

While the younger Woods, a high school sophomore, has never played in a Tour event, he has played four times at the PNC Championship, a nationally broadcast event in December where major winners play with family members.
