Many young golfers in the industry have one dream – to eventually become a PGA Tour pro. And that stays the same for Tiger Woods’s son, Charlie Woods. We all know becoming a PGA Tour professional requires more than just a passion for the sport. Not everyone can prove themselves worthy, but in Charlie’s case, golf isn’t just a hobby for him. It’s way more than that, thanks to his dad.
So we get the gist as to why he would want to make a career out of it even though he is not part of his school team right now.
Despite his achievements this year, Woods will miss out on high school golf tournaments at The Benjamin School. The competition includes the Golf-Varsity-Boys and Golf-JV-Boys events. However, his ultimate dream of being a PGA Tour pro will not be affected.
By this, we mean there are only two main routes to PGA membership in the US as per a report by Golf Monthly. And let us tell you, none of them are simple.
The first is the PGA Professional Golf Management (PGM) Program, and the second is the PGA Golf Management University Program. Quite a mouthful, right?
Well, these are just the names, and the PGA PGM Associate Program requires its candidates to pass a background check. In addition, they should complete four Qualifying Level courses. After that, the candidate must pass the Player Ability Test (PAT) within 15 shots of the course rating and join the PGA PGM 3.1 Associate Program. So it’s not going to be a straightforward journey for little Woods.
In contrast, the PGA Golf Management University Program offers a degree in golf-related fields, which includes internship experience and player development opportunities. But what if Woods wants to pursue his dream outside the US? Well, there are some options for that as well.
