He started the event 604th in the AJGA boys rankings with his previous best tournament performance - tied for 25th - at the Junior Invitational in March.

Charlie Woods has competed with his father in the last five editions of the PNC Championship - a 36-hole event featuring two-player teams made up of a major champion and a family member - and last December they finished runners-up for a second time.

Tiger, a 15-time major winner, has been absent from tournaments since he underwent surgery in March to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and is expected to miss the rest of the PGA Tour season.
