HEARTWARMING: Charlie Woods Wins National Junior Golf Championship, Honors Childhood Promise with First Prize Earnings

Fifteen-year-old Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, has won the prestigious Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship — and his next move captured hearts across the country.

Rather than bask in the spotlight or indulge in the rewards of his hard-earned victory, Charlie chose to fulfill a promise made years ago to someone very special: his childhood nanny. She was a constant presence in his early years, often caring for him while his father traveled for tournaments.

“She was there when I took my first steps… and I promised I’d never forget,” Charlie said.

True to his word, Charlie used his first prize money to write a heartfelt check to the woman who helped raise him, a gesture that speaks volumes about his character and values.

What began as a simple childhood vow has become a powerful testament to gratitude, humility, and the kind of legacy that goes beyond the golf course.
