Tiger Woods’ son Charlie’s AJGA participation forces tournament to bring armed police protection after Cognizant Classic qualifiers fiasco

Charlie Woods is playing at the 2024 Will Lowery Junior Championship this week, with his father Tiger Woods. Charlie will be making his debut at the American Junior Golf Association. Alongside Charlie Woods was also a host of security personnel and armed police to protect him from the overwhelming crowd.

Last month, Charlie Woods made an attempt to qualify for the Cognizant Classic through the Monday qualifier. However, a big part of his run was hampered by the large number of fans swarming the young golfer. There were fans who were walking alongside him, asking for autographs and getting in the way of him playing.

Charlie Woods ended up shooting an 86, and some part of the poor score could be attributed to the disturbances caused while he was on course. To counter that issue this time, according to reports, police have been deployed at the entrance who are not letting in fans without checking them thoroughly. This is to reduce the overcrowding that Woods might face due to his popularity.
