In a stunning showcase of talent and determination, Charlie Woods, the son of golf icon Tiger Woods, is making waves in high school golf as he competes for the Benjamin School team in Florida. As the fall season unfolds, this young golfer is not just riding on the coattails of his father’s legendary name but carving out his own path on the green, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of amateur golf.
The Benjamin School boys golf team has skyrocketed to the top of the rankings, currently holding the prestigious title of No. 1 both in the state and nationally, a feat achieved under the guidance of experienced head coach Toby Harbeck. As of late September, the team is not only a powerhouse but also a strong contender for the state championship, thanks in part to Woods’ impressive performances.
Woods recently clinched victory at the Palm League Invitational, delivering a jaw-dropping score of 66 that propelled him and his team to a resounding win at Miami’s Biltmore Golf Course on September 15.

Among them is the remarkable freshman Clint Lewis, who has emerged as Palm Beach County’s top-ranked varsity player, currently holding the No. 11 position in the state. Together, this dynamic group is raising the bar for high school golf in Florida.
