Sad: Tiger Woods’ 15-year-old son” Has Been Arrested For Taking Hard Draws When Driving

Charlie Woods, the son of golf legend Tiger Woods, fell short in his attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open, one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world.
Key points:
Charlie Woods, 15, was among the 84 players who competed at an 18-hole local qualifying event at the Legacy Golf and Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on Thursday. The Thursday event was only one of the 109 events held across the country.
The younger Woods fell short of advancing to the next round after shooting a 9-over-par 81 at the competition. He recorded four bogeys, three double-bogeys, and a single birdie at the par-3 fifth hole during his round, placing him near the bottom of the leaderboard.

U.S. Open qualification is highly competitive, with only a small percentage of players advancing to the final round. Last year, 64 out of the 878 golfers (7.3%) who made it to the sectional qualifying rounds earned a spot at the U.S. Open in Los Angeles.
Only the top five finishers of the qualifying events will move to the next round. The events will culminate in what is called “Golf’s Longest Day,” the last qualifiers day held simultaneously at nine locations across the U.S. on June 3, during which players will compete in 36-hole tournaments.
The U.S. Open will be held at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina on June 13-16.
The younger Woods had his first taste of Tour qualifiers at the Cognizant Classic, a PGA Tour event, in February, where he failed to qualify after shooting a 16-over-par 86. He also competed alongside his father at four PNC Championships, an unofficial team event on the PGA Tour Champions.
While Charlie may be young, he was not the youngest entrant at the tournament. According to the U.S. Golf Association, that distinction went to 12-year-old Beck Patrick, an amateur from Houston, Texas.

It remains to be seen what Charlie’s next step will be following his two losses at Tour qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods’ appearance at the upcoming U.S. Open remains uncertain as the three-time U.S. Open winner and 15-time Major winner does not have an exemption into this year’s event. This will be the first time that Woods would not be exempted for a major championship since the 1996 PGA Championship.

Tiger Woods was caught in sex romp with mistress Mindy Lawton in his Escalade in 2007, years before his extramarital affairs became public.

However, a solution to stop this getting out came from the most unlikely of sources — National Enquirer honcho David Pecker.

On the stand at Donald Trump’s hush money trial Thursday, Pecker acknowledged for the first time buying up the photos and then burying them in return for Tiger’s cooperation.

During cross-examination by Trump’s lawyers, Pecker admitted purchasing pics of the golf icon meeting a woman — now known to be Lawton — in a church parking lot and using them as leverage to convince him to appear on the cover of Men’s Fitness, another title in the American Media Inc. publishing house where he was CEO.

The golf world was mystified by the resulting 12-page cover story in Men’s Fitness. Inside the edition Woods shared his exercise and dieting regimen — and talked in glowing terms about his relationship with then-wife Elin Nordegren.

“It was a total shakedown,” a member of Woods’ inner circle told The Post. “He was totally blackmailed, but what could he do? He had to play ball. He didn’t have any other choice.”

At the time the photos were taken, Nordegren was in the final trimester of pregnancy with their daughter, Sam Alexis. Woods, then 32 years old, enjoyed a squeaky-clean public persona and feared that an extramarital affair could tarnish his public image and destroy his marriage.

“Tiger would ordinarily have had nothing to do with Men’s Fitness,” says the insider. “He only spoke to a handful of trusted journalists. But the Enquirer had him over a barrel. He hated it, and I know it stressed him out, but he did what he had to do.”

Not everyone was happy about the deal. Neal Bulton, then the editor-in-chief of Men’s Fitness, quit when he learned about it.

“David Pecker knew about Tiger Woods’ infidelity a long time ago,” Boulton told The Post the following year. “He traded silence for a Men’s Fitness cover.”

“We were going to [do a quid pro quo with] America’s favorite sports star, just to get his name on the cover of a magazine,” Boulton continued. “That was too much for me. That’s when I high-tailed it out of there.”

At the time, Pecker denied the allegations.
